HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA – October 7, 2015 — (Gephardt Daily) — As the new “Ghostbusters” wraps production with its all-female stars, original cast members like Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver and the rest of the team will all be doing ‘cameo appearances’ in the new film. But not Rick Moranis.
According to The Hollywood Reporter (THR), Moranis, was offered the chance to appear in a walk-on role, but turned it down saying “It just makes no sense to me.” Then he added, “I wish them well.”
The 62-year-old Moranis, also said “I hope it’s terrific…. Why would I do just one day of shooting on something I did 30 years ago?”
Rumors have been flying (and it’s even mentioned on Wikipedia) that the comic actor has retired but that’s not true.
After his wife, Anne passed away from breast cancer in 1997, he took time off to raise his two children.
THR adds, now that his kids have grown, Moranis is thinking about stepping back in front of the cameras again. He’s just really, really particular about which cameras.
