Ghostbusters: Afterlife Cast Tell Their Wild Bill Murray Tales from the Set

From
the
minute



Ghostbusters:
Afterlife
was
given
the
green
light
all
everyone
wanted
to
know
was
whether
Bill
Murray
was
back
in
the
role
of
Peter
Venkman.
Having
played
hard
to
get
for
a
long
while,
even
claiming
that
he
had
no
interest
in
returning
to
the
franchise,
thankfully
as
we
all
know
he
did
sign
on
the
dotted
line
and
reprises
the
role
of
the
sarcastic
mouthpiece
of
the
Ghostbusters
outfit.
Of
course,
with
having
a
legend
like
Billy
Murray
on
set
means
that
everyone
has
a
story
to
tell
about
working
with
him,
and
young
actors
Finn
Wolfhard
and
McKenna
Grace
are
no
exception.

During
an
interview
with
ComicBook.com
the
pair
revealed
what
happened
when



Bill
Murray
celebrated
his
birthday
during
filming,
which
involved
a
serenade
and
bagpipes
apparently.

“Imagine,
we
got
to
be
there
for
Bill
Murray’s
birthday,”



Mckenna
Grace
said. “And
he
hired
a
bagpiper
to
follow
him
around.” “But
he
pretended
like
he
wasn’t
behind
him,”
Wolfhard
added.

After
the
piper
accompanied
Murray
wherever
he
went,
Murray
went
on
to
sing
an
old
Scottish
song
during
lunch.
This
opened
up
the
opportunity
for
Wolfhard
to
have
a
lengthy
discussion
with
the
actor
about
Wes
Anderson
movies
and
music.

“We
were
talking
about
music
and
I
said ‘Well,
what’s
the
lineup?'”



Finn
Wolfhard
said
about
a
Blues
Festival
in
New
Orleans
that
Murray
was
going
to
and
they
discussed. “And
he
said, ‘Well,
you
know,
get
up
on
your
phone.’
And
that
was
a
really
sweet
moment
and
I
just
googled
the
lineup
and
we
just
went
through
the
lineup
and
said
who
we
liked
and
who
we
didn’t
know
and
it
was
really,
really
sweet.”

Logan
Kim
also
was
happy
to
to
recount
their
experiences
of
how
when

working
with
Bill
Murray
the
comedy
is
never
ending,
even
though
he
was “freaking
out”
at
meeting
a
movie
legend
he
had
watched
on
screen
for
so
many
years.

“When
I
saw
him,
I
was
like,
okay,
this
guy
that
I’ve
been
seeing
since
I
was
three
years
old
is
right
in
front
of
me
so
I’m
going
to
go
say
hi.
And
he’s
like, ‘Hey,
what’s
up?”
Just
normal.
I’m
freaking
out
inside,
I
was
like ‘hey’
so
it
was
really,
really
funny
because
he
was
always
joking
and
he
was
just…
his
comedy
never
stopped.
He
always
has
another
joke
and
it’s
so
good.
His
mind
just
worked
some
way
that
I
don’t
even
know
how
he
does
it.”

Of
course
Murray
isn’t
alone
in
returning
in

Ghostbusters:Afterlife,
as
he
is
joined
by
fellow
Busters
Dan
Aykroyd
and
Ernie
Hudson,
as
well
as
Annie
Potts
and
Sigourney
Weaver
reprising
their
franchise
roles.
It
is
something
that
fans
have
wanted
to
see
happen
for
over
30
years,
and
while
all
of
the
above
returned
for
2016’s
reboot
in
unrelated
cameos,
it
did
nothing
for
the
fans
of
the
1984
movie
and
its
sequel.
This
time
around,
Jason
Reitman
is
delivering
a
dream
that
many
have
had
for
a
long
time,
and
if
nostalgia
be
the
thing
that
makes
it
a
success,
then
so
be
it.
