Bill Murray says filming ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ was “physically painful”He also said it "really has the feel of the first" 'Ghostbusters' film Explaining how the conversation between him and Reitman began, Murray said: “I remember him calling me and saying, ‘I’ve got an idea for another Ghostbusters. I’ve had this idea for years. I thought, ‘What the heck could that possibly be?’ I remember him when he was a kid. I remember his Bar Mitzvah. I was like, ‘What the heck? What does this kid know?'” He continued: “But he had a really, really wonderful idea that he wrote with another wonderful guy that I got to work with, Gil Kenan, who made City Of Ember. The two of them wrote a Ghostbusters movie that really brings it back to life. It really has the feel of the first one, more than the second one or the girls’ one. It has a different feel than two out of four.” Ghostbusters: Afterlife was originally slated to be released last year and has since been postponed to November 11, 2021. Murray talked about Reitman’s task to carry on what his father Ivan Reitman started with the original two films in the franchise. “I think he’s really got something,” Murray continued. “It was hard. It was really hard. That’s why I think it’s gonna be good. We were just in it for a little while, but it was physically painful. Wearing those packs is extremely uncomfortable. We had batteries the size of batteries. They now have batteries the size of earrings. It’s still a really heavy thing to wear, all the time. “The special effects in this one are a lot of wind and dirt in your face, and there was a lot of going down and getting back up. I was like, ‘What is this? What am I doing? These are like Bulgarian deadlifts, or a Russian kettlebell, getting up and down with this thing on my back.’ It was very uncomfortable.” He added: “Usually, when something has a very high misery quotient, something comes of that and some quality is produced that, if you can capture it and project it, comes on the screen and affects you. I think it comes out sometime in the fall. They’ve delayed it for a year or a year and a half, but I’m glad they did. It will be worth seeing.” Source: www.google.com/amp/s/www.nme.com/news/film/bill-murray-says-filming-ghostbusters-afterlife-was-physically-painful-2914319%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR216e7biRbFeaKcEYgT0avnS6WipiV_kwSTc6mWzdIjLBaSt3oEQ_1gmHE%26amp

In case anyone was interested in why Bill Murray felt tricked into doing “Ghostbusters II”Bill Murray says he was tricked into starring in Ghostbusters sequel ‘under false pretenses’:He said he was “very, very reluctant” to make a sequel to the 1984 original but was eventually “outfoxed” when the studio pitched him a story idea that never materialised into the sequel’s screenplay. “I thought that the only reason anyone would want another one was just to make money and I was probably the most reluctant,” said Murray. “Someone outfoxed me anyway. I don’t know if Ivan [Reitman, producer] set it up but they got us all back together in a room and really, we hadn’t been together in a room since the movie came out and it was just really, really fun to be together.” He added that his co-stars Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts are “spectacular” and “funny as hell”. The 70-year old said that he had agreed to star in the 1989 sequel after the studio “pitched a story idea that was really great. I thought, ‘Holy cow, we could make that work’”. However, as Murray explained: “It ended up not being the story they wrote. They got us in the sequel under false pretenses. “Harold [Ramis] had this great idea, but by the time we got to shooting it, I showed up on set and went, ‘What the hell is this? What is this thing?’ But we were already shooting it, so we had to figure out how to make it work.” The actor went on to offer his opinion on the two films, stating: “I probably like the first one better than the second one, just because the first cut is the deepest.” Source: www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/bill-murray-ghostbusters-sequel-b1827174.html?amp
