A Ghostbusters Retrospective: The Difficult History of Bill Murray and Ghostbusters Past

Ойын-сауық

#Ghostbusters #GhostbustersAfterlife #BillMurray
December 9th saw the release of the first trailer for Jason Reitman’s “Ghostbusters Afterlife”, the sequel to the original movies which also negates the original Paul Feig’s remake from 2016.
While he is not in the trailer, Bill Murray is by all accounts in the movie - but there was a lot of back and forth involved in making that happen! Murray always delivers great performances IF he does show up on set, and that is a big "if".
In this retrospective minidocumentary, we look back at the history of Ghostbusters, and Bill Murray's troubled relationship with the franchise.
This is the spiritual prequel to our earlier Bill Murray video:

    My dad is retired FDNY, he was down at the old Ladder 1/Engine 1 which is the old firehouse used in GB, well they shot at the actual location. He and his company were actually there as both required for filming by NYC but are background firefighters in the scenes. My dad said every time the director said “Cut”, Bill Murray would bee line it directly to the bar across the street buying drinks for everyone. Trying to get him out of the bar and back on the set was difficult every time. So if it looks like Murray is lit throughout the whole movie, it’s because he is. 😂

    I think that Bill Murray's portrayals of his characters are superb, particularly in films such as "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," "Lost in Translation," "Groundhog Day," "Little Shop of Horrors," "Zombieland," and, of course, "Ghostbusters." Finding out that he's temperamental and aloof doesn't change that.

Ernie Hudson I guess was the non believer, the skeptic, maybe he was supposed to represent the audience watching the movie. At least in GB 2 Winston was just as important as the other three characters and had just as much screen time as they did.

    Make sure to watch their other video about Murray's reluctance to suit up for a third installment. The mostly untold story seems to be that Ramis and Murray got into some big fights on Groundhog Day and Murray never again spoke to Ramis until he made a reconciliation shortly before Ramis died. Murray's public reluctance to do Ghostbusters 3 was probably a smokescreen for his reluctance to work with Ramis again, or to even speak with him. Murray couldn't very well on a talk show talk about the behind-the-scenes problems between him and Ramis. And, sadly, this explains why only after Ramis' death did Murray start doing more nods to Ghostbusters in public, and show far less resistance to participating in GB2016 or Afterlife.

All of this falls at the feet of Paul Feig who basically let the cast do whatever they wanted. The movie was highly improved. And the script was hot garbage. The talent was perfectly fine. But when you director's claim to fame is Bridesmaids......and some TV shows. At worse whoever hired him was responsible. Now if that was Amy Pascal or someone else in that chain...........eh.

    Seems like the Ghostbusters franchise has had a very rocky history overall, which is a shame given how the original movie was perfect at starting a franchise... and then Columbia (and later Sony) squandered it, along with Bill Murray's stubbornness and the fact that there were too many cooks in the kitchen in regards to production. Though as far as I'm concerned, The Real Ghostbusters cartoon series is the only sequel to Ghostbusters, especially when you consider it keeps true to the heart and soul of the source material and doesn't disrespect it like the actual sequel and 2016 "reboot" did. Yes it wasn't perfect, but it was FAR better than what we ultimately got.

    Great video, man. Thanks for making it. I like the new trailer and can't wait to see how it will play out. I am thinking that the original cast will only be in the movie for brief moments like in the 2016 movie and that it may come off as kind of sad. But, I hope it is awesome.

    @Andy Morley This movie is going to flop and make less than the movie that triggered you incels.

    He must have been pretty comfy financially to take a 4 year sabbatical after Ghostbusters was a hit.

    My daughter met him on the set of Ghostbusters Afterlife, he seems pretty relaxed now compared to stories of the past.
