MUMBAI: Bill Murray has said that he might feature in a third instalment of the Ghostbusters franchise.

The film, which director Ivan Reitman along with writers and stars of the films Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd, have been trying to develop for the last few years, has already been devoid of Sigourney Weaver with her turning down the film without Murray on board.

Murray, who had sworn off the film earlier, seems to have softened to the idea of reprising his role as Dr Peter Venkman.

There is no definitive word yet on how far negotiations on Ghostbusters 3 have progressed.

Murray, who in recent years has taken on more serious or offbeat roles, will next be seen in Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom.
