“GHOSTBUSTERS 2020” is officially gonna call Bill Murray! On Friday, Murray’s original co-star Dan Aykroyd — who is confirmed to be a part of the sequel — appeared on “The Greg Hill Show” and revealed that Murray would be reprising his role as Dr. Peter Venkman. Aykroyd, 67, also announced that along with Murray, original cast members Sigourney Weaver, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts will make appearances in the upcoming sequel, which will serve as a follow-up to the 1984 original “Ghostbusters,” directed by Ivan Reitman. Jason Reitman, who is the son of the original “Ghostbusters” director, wrote “a beautiful, heartfelt script that takes the real DNA from the first two movies and transfers that directly to the third, the next generation,” Aykroyd said. “It hands the legacy off to a new generation of stars, and players, and actors, and characters.” New to the “Ghostbusters” franchise will be Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, “Stranger Things” star Finn Wolfhard and Mc Kenna Grace, the Independent confirmed. Jason Reitman drew criticism shortly after his sequel was announced for saying his upcoming sequel to the classic film will “hand the movie back to fans” three years after the release of the female-led reboot that starred Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy.
