The Canadian actor and comedian Rick Moranis, as one of the principal actors in the original Ghostbusters film and its 1989 sequel, gave a super-classy answer as to why the actor has no interest in playing the cameo in the Ghostbusters reboot by the American director and actor - Paul Feig. And Twitter immediately became active with the mixed reactions of Rick Moranis fans, some of which were acclamations, some were sad, and some in tearful applause.
Rick Moranis, who became famous in the 1980 circa sketch comedy show Second City Television, stated this in a new interview, "I expect the film to be terrific," Rick Moranis continued, "But it just makes no sense to me. Why would I do just one day of filming in a movie that I did 30 years ago?"
Rick Moranis, who appeared in several Hollywood films, including Strange Brew, Spaceballs, Little Shop of Horrors, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, said that he didn't quit from showbiz (where Rick Moranis has done some voice work and animation, but hasn't played a live-action character since 1997) for any showbiz-related reason, but rather, he chose to prioritize looking after his two kids when his wife passed away with breast cancer.
Since then, although the actor continued on with his career, Moranis has become extremely "picky" about movie roles.
Rick Moranis remarked, "People are very pleased when they see me," adding, "They ask me, 'How come they don't make motion pictures like they used to?' We were governed by a certain kind of taste at that time, and there were places we wouldn't go with the language and bodily fluids and functions. I think that's what they're nostalgic for."
On the other hand, the original franchise stars like the American actor and comedian - Bill Murray, comedian and musician - Dan Aykroyd and the American actress and film producer - Sigourney Weaver, have all committed for cameo roles in the new Ghostbusters of Paul Feig.
And Paul Feig's Ghostbusters is slated to hit theaters on July 15, 2016.
