Actor drops hints on radio show
[Update] Hodgman updated his Twitter account to say it was all a joke. Just b.s. Nothing to see here, folks…
Here is a new bit of Ghostbusters 3 talk to slice off and stick in your craw.
John Hodgman, of the HBO series Bored to Death, hopped on the mic for a WFMU program where he posed the following question to listeners:
If you were hypothetically offered a role in Ghostbusters 3… would you take the role? Let’s say you’re [playing] sort of the dissolute son of Egon, the Harold Ramis character, and you’re kind of like John Candy in Splash, you’re kind of a mess. But it turns out you’re a natural ghost-whisperer, a natural psychic. But here’s the thing: Bill Murray’s not going to be in this movie, and probably not happy that you are. But you get to be in a major role, in a major movie and one of the greatest franchises of all time. Would you do it?
The actor’s name has been connected to the sequel before, and he quickly dismissed claims that he would star. Is he pulling our leg or is there something more to this chatter?
