If Dr. Peter Venkman is in Ghostbusters III (which is supposedly being penned by scribes from The Office), we’ll have one thing to thank: the Ghostbusters game. Bill Murray, who has previously been notoriously on the fence about a third Ghostbusters flick, has apparently down an about face and says he’s totally down with GBIII, and it’s all thanks to the Ghostbusters game. As reports Aint It Cool News:

He also went on to say that his enthusiasm for Ghostbusers was heightened after recording the voice of Peter Venkman for the video game over the summer. In fact, he said he found himself walking down the street singing the Ghostbusters theme song and then thought people walking around him were going to start yelling at him ‘get over yourself, Bill,’ so he stopped.
