Ernie Hudson Ghostbusters
Well, you can count on Ernie Hudson, aka Winston Zeddemore.Footage Ernie Hudson on new Ghostbusters movie: Everybody is in, Of course, Harold Ramis, who sadly passed away in 2014, will not be returning as Egon Spengler.
In the same interview with The Daily Mail, Hudson commented on the loss, that he miss Harold because Harold was really the glue that he thought held everybody together. He was always his go-to point and anything that was a little bit weird, or whatever, Harold was the guy who would sort of say, ‘Ernie, just‘ and explain the world to me. Now, here’s where things get interesting, if not a little confusing.
In the same report, The Daily Mail’s sources say that Aykroyd is “The driving force behind the new movie” who “Completed a script treatment” for Sony.
Aykroyd
While we now know Reitman co-wrote the actual script with director Gil Kenan, the source’s comments do parallel Aykroyd’s own from back in November.
If you recall, Aykroyd discussed the sequel on AXS TV’s The Big Interview withDan Rather, insisting, “There is a possibility of a reunion with the three remaining Ghostbusters,” confirming that “It’s being written right now.” He even felt confident about Murray’s involvement, adding“I think Billy will come. The story’s so good. Even if he plays a ghost.” Perhaps he wrote the treatment for Reitman and Kenan to work off of? Or helped them develop ideas? After all, the Ghostbusters franchise has always been Aykroyd’s baby – and he was even creatively involved in the 2016 reboot – so it’s possible.
Reitman
All we really know is that Reitman is directing, the script is done, and that he reportedly “On the lookout to cast four teens in the movie, two boys and two girls.” That description certainly doesn’t fit Hudson, Aykroyd, or Murray, which means they may be waiting by the phone for a little longer.
