Here’s a quick one for Ghostbuster fans. If Bill Murray is so keen to return for a Garfield follow up, surely he would come back for a Ghostbusters movie? Surely there’s a bigger cult following for Ghostbusters compared to Garfield, and would it be fair to say that Garfield II would make more than a Ghostbusters III? I’m really not sure on that one and I think I’ll pass the discussion onto you guys.
From Coming Soon the news is that Murray is in talks to reprise his Garfield role.
…while Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt have signed on to return, though Hewitt’s role will be greatly reduced because she is filming the upcoming CBS series Ghost Whisperer. The Hollywood Reporter says Lucy Davis and Billy Connolly also are joining the cast. Davis, who recently joined the cast of the indie The TV Set, will play animal lover Abby Westminster, a fashionable professional who has been brought in to try and trap Lord Dargis (Connelly) into revealing his evil plans…directed by Tim Hill.
Oh lord. I wasn’t a fan of the idea originally. Are there some Garfield fans out there, adults as well as adults with kids? How about the fact that Murray will do this over Ghostbusters? Money?
