If you're one of those who's excited about the thought of a third Ghostbusters movie, then rest assured that your enthusiasm for it does not appear to be shared by Bill Murray.

Appearing on The Late Show With David Letterman in the US, Murray was asked about Ghostbusters 3, which the actor described as a "nightmare".

"I told them if they killed me off in the first reel I'd do it," he confirmed, which backs up what Sigourney Weaver first said of his involvement at the back end of last year. "So now they've figured out a way to kill me in the first reel," he revealed.

"It's just crazy talk," he continued, showing a distinct lack of enthusiasm for Ghostbusters 3. Instead, he was a lot happier when talking about recording Peter Venkman's lines for the Ghostbusters videogame that came out last year.

Ghostbusters 3 is still set to go before the cameras this year, with Ivan Reitman once again directing.

Here's the clip from the Letterman show:
