Murray to cameo as ghost in 'Ghostbusters 3'

Bill Murray will play a ghost in ‘Ghostbusters 3’, it has been revealed.

Sigourney Weaver, who played Dana Barrett in the first two movies has let slip the shock twist in store for Bill’s character Peter Venkman when discussing her future with the franchise.

She said: “I’m afraid to say it: ‘Ghostbusters 3’ is happening, I hope people are excited about that.

“I don’t know if I’m going to be in it, I have had a couple of calls asking: ‘Would you read the script’.

“I know that my little son Oscar – who was kidnapped from me – I think he has grown up to be a Ghostbuster. I might be in it; I see nothing wrong with being in it, although I don’t think I will have a big part. I think Bill Murray has a little more to do with it – he’s a ghost.”

The 60-year-old actress – who has previously been reluctant to address whether she will appear In the movie – also spoke about how much she still enjoys acting.

She added to Channel 4 News: “To me films are still like that experimental feeling, I get so excited about that. I think as I get older I’m more aware of what a privilege it is to work with different generations of actors.”
