Bill Murray was blindfolded and bundled into the back of a van with his hands tied behind his back as part of a phony kidnapping for David Letterman's talk show this week.

The Ghostbusters star staged a dramatic entrance for his appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday and was seen being pulled from the trunk of an SUV by two burly men as part of the opening sequence.

Murray's hands were untied and a black bag was removed from over his head before he was dragged to the TV studio entrance, sobbing and begging his captors, "Please don't kill me!" He was then hit with a...

Bill Murray refused three offers to be involved in the much-anticipated "Ghostbusters" sequel, according to former co-star Dan Aykroyd.

Earlier this week actor Harold Ramis reportedly said that Murray was back on board for the third installment of the film, but his comment has was revealed to be a hoax.

Despite Murray's lack of involvement, the film is still going ahead with shooting expected to start at the end of 2013, according to Aykroyd.

The actor told Esquire magazine, "Had Billy chosen to do the Eisenberg/Stupnitsky (screenwriters) script of two years ago, it would be out this sum...

'Hyde Park on the Hudson' is the story of a love affair between FDR (Bill Murray) and his distant cousin, Margaret Stuckley (Laura Linney) centered around a weekend in 1939, when King George VI (Samuel West) and his wife, Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Coleman) came to visit.

George is in the United States to ask Roosevelt for financial help with Britain's impending war with Germany. By the way, this is the same King George that took center stage in 'The King's Speech. That's right the King who stuttered.

The film was directed by Roger Michell ('Notting Hill') and written by Richard Nelson. It...

Lost In Translation star Bill Murray is back on board the Ghostbusters 3 movie after reportedly dropping out of the sequel.

Co-star Harold Ramis has confirmed the funnyman will be reprising his role as Dr. Peter Venkman in the follow-up to 1989's Ghostbusters II. The news comes after Murray stunned reporters on the red carpet at the recent Hyde Park on Hudson premiere by revealing he was considering returning to the franchise.

Before that, fans and cast mate Dan Aykroyd, who has been championing the third film for years, had all but given up hope that Murray would return - this past sum...

Bill Murray is the Johnny Depp to Wes Anderson's Tim Burton (even though Johnny Depp himself might now be the Johnny Depp to Wes Anderson's Wes Anderson).

This should come as no surprise to anyone, but Murray has confirmed that he's involved in Anderson's latest bit of cinematic whimsy, "The Grand Budapest Hotel," according to an interview with Vulture.

Appropriately enough, the revelation came during an interview that took place in a hotel room during the Toronto International Film Festival. Murray actually offered the information completely on his own: "I'm about to go shoot a movie wit...

Funnyman Bill Murray used his sister's polio battle in the 1950s as inspiration for his portrayal of disabled former President Franklin D. Roosevelt in new movie Hyde Park On The Hudson.

The Lost in Translation star mined memories of his sibling's brave fight with the condition that plagued the leader, and decided to play Roosevelt as a man who never complained about his disability.

Murray tells the Los Angeles Times he recalls his sister's treatments included immersion in scalding water, and she was fitted with painful leg braces - but she tried to overcome her problems.

Murray says,...

Bill Murray has officially pulled out of the Ghostbusters sequel, according to his co-star Dan Aykroyd.

After months of negotiations, the Canadian actor has revealed Murray will not be returning as scheming Dr. Peter Venkman in a planned Ghostbusters 3 movie.

But the Blues Brothers star is pressing on with the project regardless.

He tells Metro magazine, "He (Murray) won't be involved... It's sad but we're passing it on to a new generation. Ghostbusters 3 can be a successful movie without Bill. My preference would be to have him involved but at this point he doesn't seem to be coming and...

We wish Bill Murray were our mentor.

The "Moonrise Kingdom" star is returning to "Rushmore" kind of territory as he signs on for the coming-of-age comedy, "St. Vincent De Van Nuys," according to Variety.

"St. Vincent" follows a 12-year-old boy who, upon his parents' divorce, strikes up an unlikely friendship with his next-door neighbor: an embittered war veteran whose life consists mostly of gambling, drinking and prostitutes. Hopefully, the two men won't be falling in love with the same schoolteacher (though we expect there will be other whimsical complications).

Murray can be seen in...

Wes Anderson's latest eccentric opus Moonrise Kingdom has just opened to rave reviews at the Cannes Film Festival and will hit U.S. this weekend, and, despite a cast roster including Bruce Willis, Edward Norton and Frances McDormand, there's one thesp who's guaranteed to bring the funny: Bill Murray.

Anderson's muse since the heady days of "Rushmore," Murray is such deadpan force of nature that you could probably follow him around with a camera while he's drinking and strike comedy gold, which is exactly what happens in a new "Moonrise" promo video.

Filled with good humor and Sailor Jerr...

I didn’t end up watching “Battleship” last week, because I wasn’t in the mood to knowingly subject myself to a bad movie that night. Friends who caught it, told me that it’s as terrible as they thought it would be, giving it a D grade. Critic Matt Patches hilariously called it “as stiff and lifeless as the plastic pieces used to play (the board game).” After hearing things like that I’m glad I didn’t bother with “Battleship.”

This week includes the release of the highly anticipated blockbuster “Men in Black III,” but I’m more interested in Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom” since it feature...

Many celebrities turned out for the opening night of the 65th Cannes Film Festival yesterday. The stars attended the "Moonrise Kingdom" premiere held at the Palais des Festivals on the famous Croisette Avenue.

Eva Longoria, whose show "Desperate Housewives" aired its final episode on Sunday, looked incredible in a pale pink dress with an enormous fluffy train and intricate beading.

Singer Lana Del Rey was gorgeous in a black gown that showed off her red hair. Diane Kruger looked like a magical sprite in a light turquoise gown, and Freida Pinto wore a strapless dress with colorful sequins...

Sacha Baron Cohen brings his trademark ridicu-shock humor to his new film "The Dictator," but it may be his beard that steals the show.

He plays Admiral General Aladeen, deposed dictator of the (fictional) Republic of Wadiya, who flees to the U.S. when his country converts to democracy. As a dictator, he's used to ruling with an iron fist, an incorrigible sense of righteous cruelty, and a thick, bushy beard that could house several terrified baby sparrows.

Aladeen may feel like a fish out of water in New York City, but he'd feel right at home among Hollywood's most magnificent beards of a...

Bruce Willis and Bill Murray attended the photocall for "Moonrise Kingdom" at the Cannes International Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals in France today.

The "Caddyshack" star wore some interesting duds - plaid pants, a plaid jacket and a plaid button-down shirt. Naturally, none of the plaids matched.

Wes Anderson directed and co-wrote "Moonrise Kingdom," a period comedy-drama set in the 1960s. A pair of young lovers (Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward) from an island off the New England coast head for the hills and throw their small town into a frenzy.

According to Reuters, Mur...

Despite my extensive coverage of Sundance, South by Southwest and Toronto International film festivals, I can’t quite afford to go to Cannes, France. I’ll have to watch the Cannes Film Festival from afar, but here are some things I know to expect from May 16 to May 27.

The international competition often leads to big Hollywood releases. Major films in competition include David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis starring Robert Pattinson, Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom starring Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton and Edward Norton, Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy starring Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman, Mat...

Every artist has their muse, whether it be human, imaginary, or in some cases, drug induced. And while certainly some people might joke that the latter is Tim Burton's muse of choice, given the stye and subject of many of his films, it's become quite clear over the years that he draws inspiration from the people he surrounds himself with. Most notable among them are Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp.

Given that his newest film, "Dark Shadows", marks Burton and Depp's 8th film collaboration, we at Starpulse decided to take a look at some of the other actor/director partnerships that hav...

Actor Dan Aykroyd has given up all hope of trying to persuade Bill Murray to reprise his Ghostbusters character for a third movie, insisting the film will have to be made without the funnyman.

Aykroyd, co-star Harold Ramis and director Ivan Reitman have been waiting for Murray to sign on for the sequel for over a year, but the frustrated Blues Brothers star now accepts the project will have to go ahead without him.

He tells The Telegraph, "It's a surety that Bill Murray will not do the movie."

He adds, "The studio, the director Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis feel there must be a way to do...

Dan Aykroyd has hinted he'll never shoot another Hollywood movie - unless the long-awaited third Ghostbusters film gets off the ground.

The Blues Brothers actor has been enthusiastic to get cameras rolling on another sequel to his 1984 comedy classic, but the project has repeatedly stalled because of co-star Bill Murray's busy schedule.

Now, Aykroyd has confessed his days of starring in blockbuster movies are over - and he'll only be tempted out of retirement by the right film.

The funnyman tells Seven magazine, "I don't need fame anymore... I'm happy my day is done. It's over... I do...

If you're a fan of Wes Anderson and his offbeat, quirky films, then viewing this trailer is a must. Judging a book by its cover or in this case a movie by its trailer, 'Moonrise Kingdom' looks like the total package!

The coming of age comedy is set in a fictional 1960's New England town, Moonrise Kingdom, and follows a pair of young lovers (Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward) from an island off the New England coast as they head for the hills and throw their small town into a frenzy.

The all-star cast consists of Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman,...

The future of the third Ghostbusters movie hangs in the balance again - Sigourney Weaver insists the sequel won't start shooting if Bill Murray doesn't agree to be part of it.

The actress' comments come just a month after co-star Dan Aykroyd insisted filming would begin next year with or without Murray - the only castmember from the original movie who has yet to sign up for a third film.

Weaver previously suggested writers should kill off Murray's character, Peter Venkman, if he didn't want to be part of the sequel, but now it seems she has changed her mind.

In an interview with Collider...

The long-awaited third Ghostbusters movie is set to start shooting early next year, possibly without Bill Murray.

The Lost in Translation star remains the last original castmember to sign on for the sequel and now former co-star Dan Aykroyd has revealed the project could be moving forward without him.

Appearing on radio host Dennis Miller's show recently, the Blues Brothers star said, "We will be doing the movie and hopefully with Mr. Murray. That is our hope. (But) the concept is much larger than each individual role."

The actor also confirmed reports suggesting the new film will set up...

Try to imagine your worst day in recent memory. Really picture it. Get that horrific experience fresh in your mind. Does it compare to losing your job, your car, your significant other, and your pizza all in the same day? Chances are, probably not.

All these calamities pile up for John Winger (Bill Murray) in director Ivan Reitman’s comedy “Stripes,” which turns 30 years old today. Out of everything, what stings the most for John, are his girlfriend’s words when she dumps him, “You’re going nowhere John, and it’s just not that cute anymore…” John attempts to use humor to save face ...

A sensual and mysterious Megan Fox – with wings. That alone should warrant multiple film viewings, but throw in some obsessed Mickey Rourke, sassy Kelly Lynch (love her!) and unsettling Bill Murray and you’ve got the new to DVD/Blu-ray flick "Passion Play" hitting shelves on May 31 from Image Entertainment. Rourke plays a washed-up jazz musician on the run from gangster Murray who happens upon angelic carnival bird woman Fox and sees a way to possibly wash his dirty slate clean. Rife with many twists and turns in a noir world where nothing is as it seems, the film is the directorial debu...

It's taken a few years for audiences to shake off their desire to see Bill Murray as a comedian, but it's happened, and it's no longer a surprise to see the multi-talented performer eschewing comedy for serious drama.

His latest role may be his most challenging yet, as Murray has decided to go historical, and will be playing President Franklin D. Roosevelt in "Hyde Park on the Hudson."

"Hyde Park" is a live action adaptation of a 2009 British radio play. It centers on Roosevelt and his affair with his distant cousin Margaret Stuckley (these were different times, after all) and takes place...

Ramon Rodriguez has confirmed he'll be portraying Bosley in the upcoming "Charlie's Angels" TV revamp.

The "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" star will take over the role played by Bernie Mac, Bill Murray and David Doyle in the new TV series.

He joins Angels Minka Kelly, Rachael Taylor and Annie Ilonzeh for the remake, and tells MovieHole.net he's getting into shape to play a more physical Bosley.

He explains, "I'm doing martial arts right now and he's (Bosley) also a techie, and I'm a bit of a techie, so that's cool, but it's mostly martial arts."

Rodriguez insists he has been prepa...

Director Ivan Reitman is waiting on Bill Murray's approval to begin work on the new Ghostbusters sequel, because he has to win over the Hollywood actor before they can even think about filming.

The filmmaker is ready to step behind the camera once more to shoot the third installment of the spooky story, 21 years after directing the last film in the franchise in 1989.

All four of the original 1984 Ghostbusters - Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson - have signed on to reprise their characters in the forthcoming project - but Reitman has urged fans not to believe everything th...

Obsession can come in many forms; one can become fixated with an individual, an object or a feeling. At Starpulse, we are obsessed with Glee, Brangelina, Suri Cruise, anything Martin Scorsese and of course The Beiber. In honor of Black Swan's opening weekend, a movie that centers on an obsession, here are a few other movies about being obsessed. Some are creepy, some are fascinating and some are just sick.

Black Swan- Natalie Portman's character, Nina, is a professional ballerina in New York City, who is completely obsessed with perfection. She yearns to be perfect at her craft and will ...
