I split this off from the [Bill Murray](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/bill-murray) interview topic because I think its cool enough to be on it’s own. Always good to hear from Ernie. :whatever:

So he says [Bill Murray](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/bill-murray) is on board now… interesting…

This was filmed just before I arrived. Yeah, Ernie says he’s on board, Dan pretty much said the same…I bet Bill’s just waiting for the cash offer and script (in that order).

[Ernie Hudson](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/ernie-hudson) is just a classy guy. Pure and simple. I really hope to see more of him in a third installment than we have before. If anyone deserves it, it is him. 🙂

I doubt that. Bill has more money than the Vatican. He just doesn’t want to do a steaming pile. Bill I think genuinely cares exclusively about the script/plot and if it sucks then he won’t do it no matter how much $$$ they throw at him.

And Ernie is a class act, I agree with that. Plus the interview is true Ernie might be the oldest but he has aged the best. 😃

Ha hasn’t changed much at all. Probably the only one who could fit in his original uniform.

I also like the fact that he might be a famous actor, but he doesn’t act like one.

I hate to say it, but as much as Dan is used as the poster child and cheerleader for Ghostbusters and the frinchise as a whole…you really don’t ever see him sporting much GB gear. Earnie on the othr hand is very proud of his work on that film and sports a uniform at just about every event. Granted, he doesn’t do NEARLY as many BIG projects as Dan, Harold, or Bill, he’s still a class act to say the least. I officially vote [Ernie Hudson](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/ernie-hudson) (yes, “the black ghostbuster” for those who can never rememebr his name) as the cheerleader and poster child for the Ghostbusters franchise! :whatever:

On another not, I dont know what the deal is with Bill. I think he’s at a point in his life that he’s really been at for SOME time where he realizes he doesn’t have to do anything anymore. He could sit at home and rot and probobly be happy as hell. This is not something I’d ever want to see as the guy is comedy gold, but let’s face it the guy is set for life. Hence, we dont need to do a GB3 as he’s said. However, everything Bill says is contradictory to everything the other key players in the franchise say, so who the hell knows?

yeah, Ernie should be the main actor in the 3rd film with dan and harold co-starring. bill is great but ■■■■ him if he doesnt want to be in it. no matter how bad or good, i will love the third movie.

If GB3 features a tricked out Honda Civic hatchback wrapped up like a Ghostbusters cupcake package, would you still love it?

So is Garfield, and it’s sequel, really_\* that \*_good?

If it was then he wouldn’t have jabbed at that for being a regret during Zombieland. 😉

“Bill has more money than the Vatican.”

Has having a crapload of money really ever stopped rich people from wanting a lot more? That’s more of a general thing though. I do believe him though when he says he’ll only do it if he feels the script is great.

Winston should definately get some field work done in GB3. The man is in shape for his age.

As for the “poster boy” comment. Realistically, Dan is the posterboy hands down. He might not wear a GB hat but the guy oozes everything ghostbusters. He’s extremely passionate, driving the movement for a third film for years, writing scripts, making phone calls to cast [the video game](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/ghostbusters-the-video-game)… The man is excited about ghostbusters and it’s fans all the time and he’s always excited to talk about ghostbusters. I mean nothing against Ernie- he’s **the man** , and I would really like to see him bust some heads in GB3. He looks the most capable to eliminate the paranormal out of the four.
