“I thought about it for a very long time,” Murray said. “Like, many, many months. No, that’s not right. I was seriously thinking about this for years, really… It kept eating at me, and I really respect those girls. And then I started to feel like if I didn’t do this movie, maybe somebody would write a bad review or something, thinking there was some sort of disapproval [on my part].”
“You know, they were incredibly nice to ask me, and I really enjoyed being there,” Murray said. “They have such a jolly group, and they are going to have great success with this project. I didn’t want to overshadow [them] or anything, and I feel really good about it. I like those girls a lot. I mean, I really do. They are tough to say no to. And Paul is a real nice fellow.”
Back in January it was rumored that director Paul Feig was pursuing Bill Murray for the film, but not as Peter Venkman - instead Murray would play Martin Heiss, "a professional supernatural debunker, who crosses paths with the women when they post footage online and sets out to prove they are fakes"... We also know that Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne will make a cameo as well...
Unofficial storyline: Wiig and McCarthy play a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real. Flash forward a few years and Wiig lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia U. Which is pretty sweet, until her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia.
Wiig reunites with McCarthy and the other two proton pack-packing phantom wranglers, and she gets some sweet revenge when ghosts invade Manhattan and she and her team have to save the world.
Cast: Melissa McCarthy, Chris Hemsworth, Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, Leslie Jones and Kristen Wiig... Written and Directed By: Paul Feig - Ghostbusters is set to land in theaters July 22, 2016...
