Bill Murray says that Ghostbusters 3 is “ridiculous” and “a rumor”

Posted by GhostbustersNews on April 27th, 2010

While promoting his hilarious new flick, Get Low, Bill Murray sat with MediaFone.ca, and while taking part of their 5 Questions feature, the conversation shifted to Ghostbusters rather quickly.

Here’s an excerpt of the interview, but be sure to check it out in it’s entirety by clicking here.

4. What’s your favorite movie set in New York?
‘Ghostbusters.’ Sure, why not? I was in it. It was great. There’s a scene where Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson drive across the Brooklyn Bridge and they go, “Judgment day.” And that’s the coolest scene in any movie that ever took place in New York. It’s just wonderful to watch. And then they pull away and you see this big town in the background and these guys are heading right into the heart of the monster. What I really love about New York is that the first time I came, I think I came from the airport, and when you drive [from John F. Kennedy International Airport], there’s a massive graveyard that you see just before, and there’s New York. And I always say to people, those are the people that didn’t make it [laughs]. They just threw them over here and then buried them.

5. Is ‘Ghostbusters 3′ ever happening?
No, it’s ridiculous. That’s an absolutely — that’s just a horrible rumor. It’s like illegitimate children in Antarctica, it’s ridiculous. … Mind you, we only made two, and the first one was still the better one, so another one wouldn’t seem to be any better. The studio wants to make it because they can re-create the franchise and put new Ghostbusters in it. That’s what it’s about.

Oh, that wacky Bill Murray, don’t you just love him?
