We may finally have a definitive answer to the question of whether or not BILL MURRAY will return for “Ghostbusters 3″. And that answer is . . . YES.

–Britain’s not-always-reliable “Daily Mail” tabloid claims to have spoken with Murray about the flick. And here’s what they claim he said . . . quote, “I’ll come back only if I get to be a ghost. I said to them, ‘I’ll do it if you kill me off in the first reel.’

–”So, now they are going to have me as a ghost in the film.”

–He added, quote, “The first 45 minutes of the original ‘Ghostbusters’ is some of the funniest stuff ever made. The second one was disappointing, because the special-effects guys took over.

–”I had something like two scenes . . . and they’re the only funny ones in the movie.”

Jack Black Wants To Be A ‘Ghostbuster

Jack Black is desperate to star in the new Ghostbusters sequel and lobbied original star Harold Ramis when the pair worked together on new movie Year One.

After directing Black in the Neanderthal comedy, Ramis is preparing to reprise his role as Dr. Egon Spengler in the third Ghostbusters film. The veteran is also on the shortlist to direct the sequel, and Black admits he used his time with Ramis to campaign for the chance to hunt ghouls with him.

Black tells Moviefone, “Could I see myself in it? Yeah, I can bust some ghosts! I ain’t afraid of no ghosts! Buster.”

Ghostbusters III will star the original line-up of Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson, as well as a new batch of younger spook chasers.

If this movie happens it will be awesome!!!!
