Because Bill Murray was the reason 3 was held up all these years, and now he's lost his veto. Murray can't stop it any more.

Wait, how has he lost his veto? Did that just apply to a third movie -- any movie -- which ended up being Feigbusters?

I think he didn't like the script for GB3 originally and thought it was bad.

I'm assuming you're talking about Bill now.

Maybe he had a bad experiences working on these movies and he doesn't want any part of them. Everyone else seems down for making another one except him.

I remember that they had to talk him into doing the Ghostbusters video game years ago.

Murray never outright shot down the possibility of him doing GB3. I think at a certain point he got sick of being asked about it. He always entertained all of Aykroyd's scripts... he just never signed onto any of them. I don't discount the possibility of all of the Aykroyd scripts being bad, but I doubt Bill was particularly helpful about things either in trying to help steer him in the right direction.

The fact that he really hates GBII, and refused to do GBIII, and yet, was okay with doing that abomination reboot, has made me lose a little respect for him, and also question his judgment. We could've had something great, and he screwed it up, and instead we got something terrible, and he endorsed it. Very frustrating.

There was a vague threat of a lawsuit if Murray didn't play along; like they had some kind of card up there sleeve that they could pay if he caused any trouble.

Very true. And it can't be coincidence that Bill's grudging agreement to cameo in FeigBusters amounted to just him entering the scene, immediately sitting in a chair for the duration of the scene and then quickly dying.

We don't really know where Bill's head is at after the Feig movie and it's failure. Maybe he even feels a little bit responsible for that, in a roundabout way. Would there be enough to counteract everything in the past enough to do one more movie in the hope of redeeming things/turning things around, and now even the loss of Ramis? I dunno. I hope so, but I dunno.
