Ernie Hudson wants more Winston in Ghostbusters 3

MTV.com talked to Ernie Hudsom about Ghostbusters 3, and while he doesn’t have any more information about the movie than we do, he has certain wishes for his character, Winston Zeddmore.

‘If it does go forward I want to see Winston be all the way through the movie for once for God’s sake – not an hour into the movie, here comes Winston.’ Hudson told MTV. ‘Also, I’d like to see Winston have some sort of back story. Where does Winston go? Is he married? Does he have an apartment? Does he live on the street? Who is this Winston guy that we’ve seen two movies about?’

Hudson continued: ‘I think now, 25 years later, that the fans know Winston so let’s just acknowledge the fact that Winston is there. Now if we have a poster with Ghostbusters, hopefully we can have Winston IN the poster so I’m not sitting at some autograph show signing over Bill Murray’s face. That would be nice.’

And he is just as uninformed about the state of the movie as everyone else: ‘When I hear something officially from the studio saying the movie is happening, I’d love to talk about it but in the meantime, I’m just saying stuff that fans have told me. I don’t really know what’s going on. I did see all the guys involved, and everyone wants to do it, so I hope that means we will be doing it, but I can’t say for sure. Until someone calls me with a steady paycheck, then I’m just a guy hanging out here looking for a job.’

We like both Ernie and Winston, and we can only agree with these points. But if shooting of Ghostbusters 3 is to start this summer, surely it’s about time to notify the principal actors? We smell a delay.
