Who's to say he didn't and I am pretty sure Ramis had been pushing for another GB since GB 2. It was Murray who tended to drag his feet due to a falling out he and Ramis had. I dont think there is anything for fans to be outraged about here unless they are just looking to be outraged for the sake of being outraged.

100 % agree. Ramis has definitely wanted multiple GB sequels and created various scripts with Dan Aykroyd. Scripts he wanted Bill murray and the studios to be comfortable with.

On a side note, anyone else think the title of that 2 pack is strange? The family that busts together? I saw that 2 pack on opening weekend n scrutched up my face when I read that lol

The new Ghostbusters Plasma Series The Family That Busts Together Target exclusive 2-Pack from Hasbro is available now on Target's website.

Y'all go ahead and disagree with each other to your hearts' content but keep it civil.

His family would've had to have given permission for his likeness to be used in the film. If they were okay with it, I think that's all that needs to be said. And you should probably stay in your lane.

Yes, but HE doesn't get a say in who uses his face. I don't care what kind of situational ethics or plastic fan-boy moral code you subscribe to, that's wrong.

So YOU say. I say, once I'm done on this mortal coil, the Mako Bar is closed. That's the problem right there. WE are here to make that call. How do we know Ramis WANTED to be in another Ghostbusters? Even if he did, how do we know he'd want to be in THIS one.

Hell, they've been throwing money at Murray for 30 years, and by all reports, HE still only barely drug his butt back.

And make no mistake, this isn't being done out of love OR respect. They're using a dead man's face to put butts in seats that might not otherwise show up. That makes a man into a commodity, and there is no connotation, whether selling movie tickets, action figures, or picking cotton under which that's EVER been a good thing.

If I could help my kids or grandkids after I'm dead by using my digital likeness, so be it.

I never said the movie wasn't going to be good (I DO have my doubts), I just think using a dead actor's likeness in a movie is, frankly, kinda disgusting.

I agree with this unless the family agrees to it and is adequately compensated. If I could help my kids or grandkids after I'm dead by using my digital likeness, so be it.
