Different sources, but all via /Film:
[Ghostbusters 3 is] just a myth [...] like the white alligator in the sewer, you know? Who’s seen it, really?
It’s just really the movie studio. They love the franchise, they’d just like to re-create it again. All this talk is just talk. It drives me nuts, it’s just people talking…Until someone actually creates a great script it’s just hogwash, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s interesting that people are interested in it, they’d like to see it. It was a great thing, it really was fun. Maybe it should. And if it’s such a good idea, then someone will write the screenplay.
[...] it’s really the world of sequels and bringing these things back again, and then some wiseacre said, ‘Hey, we got a couple of new writers who are gonna write something.’ And I thought, ‘Oh, well, maybe there’ll be some writers’ and there was always this joke, sort of a half-true, half-joke thing like, ‘Well, I’ll do it if you kill me off in the first reel.’ That was my joke, you know? So supposedly someone was writing a script where I actually got killed in the first reel and became a ghost, which I thought, ‘Well, that’s kind of clever anyway.’ But then these guys that were supposedly the writers that were going to do it, they wrote a film that came out and people saw the film and went… ‘We’re not going to do it after all, are we?’ So it’s just a kind of a dreamy thing.
I actually thought the other day–it’s just become so irritating–but I actually heard people like, young people that really [heard] of the movie when they were kids and I thought, ‘You know, maybe I should just do it. Maybe it’d be fun to do.’
Now, I don't want to get into a fan discussion about whether Bill Murray should do the film or whatever. He can do whatever he wants. Some of the concepts they've been discussing for Ghostbusters 3 over the past year or two have been pretty cool, though; they sound like they'd make for a great movie--or, hopefully, at least a better movie than Ghostbusters 2.
What I found most interesting in all of this was Murray's assertion that Ghostbusters 3 is just still being talked about and discussed, and not something firm that's definitely going to happen. Sony's been talking for the last year like it's a done deal that's going to happen any minute now, so it's interesting to see that this thing could still be years off, assuming it happens.
If it does, cool. If not, that's cool too. They made a perfect movie in 1984, and you don't ask for more than that.
