We're really getting a very strong feeling that Bill Murray won't be going anywhere near the third Ghostbusters film when it finally moves into production. Murray, after originally hinting that he would do a cameo of sorts in the film, has done little but attack the project since, albeit with seemingly good reason, and in a new interview in GQ magazine, he's been doing it again.

In the interview, he talks about how Harold Ramis' Year One did the idea of Ghostbusters 3 few favours at all. Here's what he had to say:

"It's all a bunch of crock. It's a crock. There was a story - and I gotta be careful here, I don't want to hurt someone's feelings. When I hurt someone's feelings, I really want to hurt them. [laughs] Harold Ramis said, Oh, I've got these guys, they write on The Office, and they're really funny. They're going to write the next Ghostbusters. And they had just written this movie that he had directed."

That'll be Year One, then.

"Year One. Well, I never went to see Year One, but people who did, including other Ghostbusters, said it was one of the worst things they had ever seen in their lives. So that dream just vaporized. That was gone. But it's the studio that really wants this thing. It's a franchise. It's a franchise, and they made a whole lot of money on Ghostbusters."

He also explains why he went and made the Garfield movie in the interview, which seems to be down to the fact that he thought Joel Coen had written it...

"Finally, I went out to L.A. to record my lines. And usually when you're looping a movie, if it takes two days, that's a lot. I don't know if I should even tell this story, because it's kind of mean. [beat] What the hell? It's interesting. So I worked all day and kept going, ‘That's the line? Well, I can't say that.' And you sit there and go, What can I say that will make this funny? And make it make sense? And I worked. I was exhausted, soaked with sweat, and the lines got worse and worse. And I said, ‘Okay, you better show me the whole rest of the movie, so we can see what we're dealing with.' So I sat down and watched the whole thing, and I kept saying, ‘Who the hell cut this thing? Who did this? What the fuck was Coen thinking?' And then they explained it to me: It wasn't written by that Joel Coen."

The Garfield movie was, in fact, written by Joel Cohen, the screenwriter of Cheaper By The Dozen and Money Talks, and the man who came up with the story for Daddy Day Camp and Evan Almighty.

It seems fairly safe to suggest now that Bill Murray will make neither a sequel to Ghostbusters nor Garfield in the future, although we still wonder if he may perform a bit of an about turn on the former. We can't see it happening, though.
