He didn't write the story for it, some old cac did. Then he sued Paramount over it.

If Eddie was on Ghostbusters, Bill Murray's career is over. No Groundhog Day, no showing up at cubs games or at the SuperBowl, no significant role on GB2. Murray dodged a bullet, he should be thankful af to the makers of Bev Hills Cop. Eddie woulda outshone the fukk out of him.

That female reboot is gonna be trash, Hollywood stays rebooting and remaking wihout any original ideas. Damn shame :camby:

Keep in mind Murray was a proven star before Ghostbusters. Stripes and Caddyshack etc. I doubt his career would've been over without it. But I do agree being in it boosted his star

I wonder why it took him this long to come out and speak on this...Thats fukked up what Reitman did and i woukdnt have waited 30 years to say sumn...

Ive always remembered that movie by one scene with him and Aykroyd discussing God and his line of "them being busy because the dead HAVE been rising from the grave"

Completely disagree Bill Murray still done ok but interesting and sad to hear a script that Eddie in it we'll never get to see...

Yeah, what is he talking about :mjlol:


And Groundhog Day wasn't a blockbuster or anything. Ramis would have probably chosen him anyway

Now I’ve heard, over the years, that the part had been written for Eddie Murphy—all of which Ivan Reitman says is not true. But it was a bigger part, and Winston was there all the way through the movie. After a long audition process, I finally got the part and made the awful mistake of letting it be known that I really, really wanted it. In Hollywood in those days, you set your quote—so if anybody calls about wanting to work with you, they had to meet your quote. I had just worked with Columbia on Spacehunter, and my quote was pretty decent. For Ghostbusters, they came in at only half of my quote, because they said this role was going to make my career. I said to my agent, “I don’t care. Just take it, because I believe that.” So we go to New York and we rehearse for three weeks or whatever and I’m ready to roll.
Now, this is what makes it really fukked up. They hired him for only half his worth with the promise of having a prominent role in the film. Then after he signed on, the studio basically double crossed him. So he took a pay cut for what ultimately turned out to be a background character. Ernie got screwed both ways.
