Bill Murray might well be up for Ghostbusters 3. But apparently, he won’t be in it for long — at least, not the way he has been in the first two movies.

Murray revealed in a fun interview with British newspaper The Mail that he would do the film, but only if they kill off his character, Peter Venkman, right away:

I said to them, ‘I’ll do it if you kill me off in the first reel.’ So now they are going to have me as a ghost in the film.

Murray also talks about his golf game — one thing he’s never shy about discussing — and the fact that having the reputation of being a difficult actor isn’t bad at all:

At work I’m just nothing but trouble with anything I don’t want to do. And I fired my agents. I said I didn’t ever want to speak to them again, and I never did. It saved me money but mostly it stopped the irritation of the endless phone calls.

Sci-fi site io9 is among those saying Ghostbusters 3 will begin filming this summer.
