The beloved actor and star of the original films has been against — or seemed to be against (Murray's a weird cat) — the idea of another chapter in the series for almost as long as the possibility of a new Ghostbusters has been discussed.

Tom Carey Doubles Down on the Roswell Slides
Like so many others, I had thought we were done with the Roswell Slides. It seemed that the reading of the placard, the discovery of the documentation that supported all of that, and the retreat of some of the experts would be enough to kill it. It seemed as if we had all the answers, documented to a level that is rarely achieved in UFO research… and it appears that I would be wrong because there
