Using Crystal Head Vodka bottles to reconstruct an actual head

Thanks to my brother for finding this on Reddit; we shared the same thought that the skull should have been modeled after Dan Aykroyd!

Ghostbusters 3 will be Murray-less

FUCK! Oh well, maybe it will still be watchable, but I'm not banking on anything. Also, it's shooting sometime next year according to Dan Aykroyd, without the great Bill Murray. Let the online petitions begin!

Ghostbusters 3 being rewritten

So hopefully this script will entice Bill Murray once again? Coming Soon reports that Etan Cohen (no, not Ethan Coen unfortunately) has signed on to rewrite the script.  He wrote Tropic Thunder, so this could be a good move. It almost has to be, right?
Also, Dan Aykroyd gives some info:

"My character, Ray, is now blind in one eye and can't drive the cadillac. He's got a bad knee and can't carry the packs... Egon is too large to get into the harness. We need young blood and that's the promise. We're gonna hand it to a new generation."

Apparently Bill Murray might do Ghostbusters 3 again

Yep, according to ComingSoon there's still a possibility that Bill Murray will do Ghostbusters 3.  Dan Aykroyd (and myself) had previously stated Bill was out and that the film as a whole was suspended.  Let's hope Murray finally agrees to this, I'd like to see the finished product.

Bill Murray says no to Ghostbusters 3

From Vulture:

What's Bill Murray afraid of? Ghosts, apparently: Though long courted for a role in Ghostbusters 3, Murray has flat out refused to sign on, says Dan Aykroyd. "At this point [the movie is] in suspended animation," Aykroyd tells the Telegraph. "The studio, the director Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis feel there must be a way to do it, but Bill Murray will not do the movie. He doesn’t want to be involved. He’s got six kids, houses all over America. He golfs in these tournaments where they pay him to turn up and have a laugh. He’s into this life and living it. I know we’d have a lot of fun [but] I can’t be mad at him." Though Aykroyd insists that he's "not going to do a movie that exploits the franchise," he admits that he may recast Murray's role if that's what it takes.
I say with a decent script and remaining cast, they should shoot the movie with a CGI Murray.  Or he could somehow be a ghost?  Get me on the phone with Aykroyd please!

Dan Aykroyd on Ghostbusters 3

From ComingSoon.net:
"Yes, we will be doing the movie and hopefully with Mr. Murray," he says, "That is our hope. We have an excellent script. What we have to remember is that 'Ghostbusters' is bigger than any one component, although Billy was absolutely the lead and contributive to it in a massive way, as was the director and Harold [Ramis], myself and Sigourney [Weaver]. The concept is much larger than any individual role and the promise of 'Ghostbusters 3' is that we get to hand the equipment and the franchise down to new blood."

The comedian also confirmed reports that the plot will revolve around a new generation of Ghostbusters and hinted at the states of his and Ramis' characters.

"My character, Ray, is now blind in one eye and can't drive the cadillac," he says, "He's got a bad knee and can't carry the packs... Egon is too large to get into the harness. We need young blood and that's the promise. We're gonna hand it to a new generation."

As for who might be cast as the new characters, Aykroyd says that, while no decision has been made, he does have a fondness for one piece of prospective casting.

"I like this guy Matthew Gray Gubler from the 'Criminal Minds' show," he adds, "But there's going to be a casting. We're going to see everyone that wants to do it. We're going to need... three guys and a young woman."
