After helping to spark that painful bout of GB3 rumours, Ain’t It Cool News has a new interview with Harold Ramis at the Austin Film Festival – the piece talks a great deal about his new movie, Ice Harvest (opening November 23rd), a bit about early work with a pre-SNL Bill Murray (very interesting), and a small amount about Ghostbusters 3, which covers everything we’ve heard before. Ramis’ last words on the matter confirm what a lot of people always suspected;

“In the end, it sounds greedy, but the deal couldn’t be made. We as an entity… Me… well, I’m low man on that totem pole deal-wise, but Ivan, Bill, Danny and me couldn’t make a deal with the studio. There wasn’t enough left for the studio.

And I can’t say my heart was really in it, you know… making the third one.”

    The entry system I use loves to break a URL tag in half for some reason – it’s working now.

    Remember the new news of what the casting would have been, as well! We’ve never heard Chris Rock thrown out before. Maybe I’m just really excited that it was going to be him, but it was new news to me! :-)

    You’re right, that’s probably new news – I’d heard it before, but that was probably YOU on the boards!
    :P

    After all these years, the GB3 comments in interviews all start to blur together…

    Given that they had Eddie Murphy in mind for the first one, it seems natural they would have thought of Chris Rock for a sequel.

    Yeah. It’s a shame people don’t think the subtlety of those two guys exists. Murphy of course would’ve been overkill, but I think Rock balancing out Ben Stiller and Chris Farley would’ve been pretty great…
