At the screening of City Of Ember at Fantastic Fest, Bill Murray, who was a surprise guest, answered questions from the audience. The subject of the recently announced Ghostbusters 3 came up and here’s what Bill had to say:

“Well, I think the wounds from Ghostbusters 2 have healed. And supposedly they’ve got 2 guys from The Office to write a script? That could work, I think that’s a good idea to get a fresh look at it. I’ve always liked the characters, the characters were fun. And we did have a lot of fun making the movie, the first one was really a lot of fun to make. I think the first 45 minutes of Ghostbusters is about as funny as a movie gets. We didn’t have a lot of special effect in it, it was just a couple. It was just the funny characters in that world, and I liked that movie because of it. I think the first movie had something like 60 plate shots or something like that? The second one had hundreds. The special (FX) guys got their hands on the script early (for GHOSTBUSTERS 2) and it was just gone. It went away. The script went away. It was hard to wrangle because it was tied all around the FX without story coming first or the characters moving through it, so – they’re hard movies to write. And Dan really caught it with that first one. He really caught it. And it’s fun. Characters are fun to do. We did the video game this summer and it was fun to do it again. I found myself walking down 5th Avenue singing the song! People (walking by) were like ‘God, that guy’s really full of himself’”

Ghostbusters 3? Is it a little early to start getting excited?
