Ghostbusters 3 News

It seems the making of Ghostbusters 3 has an enemy in one of the principal actors. According to website Bloody Disgusting (www.bloody-disgusting.com), National Enquirer columnist Mike Walker said the following on the Howard Stern show:

“Dan Aykroyd called ol’ pal and Ghostbusters co-star Bill Murry and snarled ’stop acting like a jerk’, Murray, despite agreeing to doing the film, has suddenly turned so cranky and mean [that] he refuses to answer phone calls.”

Furthermore: “Producers gave Bill script approval needed for his cooperation, but that cant even seem to get him on the phone to talk about the script. He’s even told ‘em that his character needs to be killed off in the opening minutes of the film.”

Well, we knew that last part about the killing off. But Aykroyd being unable to reach Murray is news. It sounds like Murray would really prefer to not be a part of Ghostbusters 3. But it won’t happen without him, so this is a big deal.

Seems like the movie is haunted by problems. A 2011 release is starting to look unlikely.

So it seems we may have a clue about who will be the villain of Ghostbusters 3 when it comes to the screen in 2011. According to Cinematical.com, the story may have something to do with the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism.

Apparently, that religion is based on a struggle between good and evil, evil being personified by the entity Ahriman, who is a destructive spirit of sorts. So he’s a devil-like thing, we guess.

Supposedly, Ahriman may not appear that much in the movie, but might unleash evil spirits (or ‘ghosts’, perhaps? Aha! Now we get it) much like Gozer did in the first Ghostbusters movie.

It seems we’ll have to read up on our Zoroastrianism to be able to enjoy the movie. Good grief.
