On September 15th, John Hodgman unveiled his involvement with the third Ghostbusters movie to Tom Scharpling on The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling after stating he had been running some "secret" errands for Dan Aykroyd lately. It was hinted that Hodgman was offered the role of Egon Spengler's deadbeat son. "If you were hypothetically offered a role in Ghostbusters 3... would you take the role? Let's say you're [playing] sort of the dissolute son of Egon, the Harold Ramis character, and you're kind of like John Candy in Splash, you're kind of a mess. But it turns out you're a natural ghost-whisperer, a natural psychic." Hodgman also alluded that Bill Murray was in fact the main hold up with the film and did not want a new cast or film to be made without his involvement. "But here's the thing: Bill Murray's not going to be in this movie, and probably not happy that you are. But you get to be in a major role, in a major movie and one of the greatest franchises of all time. Would you do it?"[28]
