Deadline's Sony "Insiders" Say Without Murray There is no GB3

It's kind of obvious, but it hasn't really been reported before.  Essentially, Deadline has a friend at Sony Pictures who puts it bluntly that without Murray, this incarnation of Ghostbusters 3 is dead as we know it. More specifically:

"The studio won't even think about forward on a $150 million film unless Bill has a closed deal and a commitment," said an insider. "It's too huge a risk to do any meaningful prep, hoping he shows up."

Fair enough. I don't think anyone wants this film without a big dose of Murray.  My guess would be, if he passes on this script and puts his foot down, it'll be the last shot for this threequel.  Then the franchise would spark anew eventually even more years down the road, but closer to Star Trek, without the full original cast to pass the torch.  My guess is also... he won't pass.  Murray is going to be in.  Just call it a hunch. Or blind optimism.
