Ghostbusters Fans Hope Rick Moranis Returns for Jason Reitman’s Sequel
There are growing calls among Ghostbusters fans for Louis Tully actor Rick Moranis to rejoin his original franchise co-stars in Jason Reitman’s 2020 sequel.
When appearing at Ghostbusters Fan Fest in celebration of the 1984 film’s 35th anniversary, Reitman revealed Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Sigourney Weaver have each read the script he penned with co-writer Gil Kenan (Monster House, Poltergeist), hinting the classic cast will reunite in GB20.
After Weaver revealed her involvement and seemingly confirmed the returns of Murray, Aykroyd and Hudson in the 36-years-later sequel, co-star Annie Potts told Los Angeles’ KTLA 5 she expects to answer the call for more Ghostbusters — leaving Moranis as the last-surviving core cast member yet to address the third film.
Moranis took a hiatus from acting in 1997 to focus on family following the death of wife Ann Belsky. A reprisal of Wayne Szalinski in straight-to-video Honey, I Shrunk the Kids sequel Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves! marked Moranis’ last on-screen role for a decade, until he revived popular SCTV character Bob McKenzie in 2007’s Bob & Doug McKenzie's Two-Four Anniversary. In the years between, Moranis performed infrequent voiceover work.
