‘Ghostbusters 3′ has been a hopeful rumor for fans ever since the franchise came to a respectable halt in 1989. Then there was the case of the surprisingly well-received Ghostbusters video game last year. That, coupled with the scattered interest being shown from cast members Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis and all of a sudden the dream project was becoming a reality.

Now, female cast member Sigourney Weaver is helping to set the record straight by stating in an interview with Channel4 that ‘Ghostbusters 3′ is a definite go. What’s more (SPOILER WARNING!!!), she let’s it slip Bill Murray will be returning not as a Ghostbuster… but as a ghost. It seems like a half-joke when she says it, but this video of Murrary hamming it up with David Letterman the other night adds an alarming amount of credibility. The two joke about long-delayed prospect of G-3 and Murray claims that he told the writer’s that he’d only do it if they figured out a way to kill him off in the first reel of the film.

If you believe either source, this certainly seems like a viable and realistic option when considering Murray’s reclusiveness as an actor, especially where the roles that made him famous are involved.
