Ivan Reitman, per CTV: Murray hasn't read any draft of a screenplay for a possible third feature. (Aykroyd said similar things in an April interview) Rietman also doesn't think Murray wants to be in it.
Nothing really new here, but the project isn't dead... which is always nice to hear. Other tidbits from the interview:
Reitman: "If we get it right for ourselves and we end up trying to make the movie, we'll see if he does it or not," Reitman
"It could happen without him, or it could happen with him."
So while the rest of the cast and creators are game for a third film, they'll only do it if they can tap into the "magic" of the original in a new way, he added.
"We tried to do another one back in the '90s to mixed success," said Reitman. "It was successful commercially but it didn't really satisfy me or any of the other members of our group creatively. We didn't quite get it right, because it's a very tricky movie.
(The original) broke ground in all sorts of ways and we couldn't create that sort of experience again in the second film, and I think it's one of the things that's holding back the third one."
