Actor Ernie Hudson, perhaps better known as Ghostbusters’ Winston Zeddemore, has claimed a new video game based on the legendary movie series is “definitely happening”.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard word of a new Ghostbusters game, of course; back in October, Raphael Saadiq, the co-founder of Friday the 13th and Predator: Hunter Grounds developer Illfonic, let slip that the studio was currently working on the title. Unsurprisingly though, given that the game is still yet to be officially announced, Saadiq hasn’t offered any update since, leaving movie fans uncertain of the project’s status.
And that’s where Ernie Hudson comes in; speaking as part of an interview shared on the Countdown City Geeks YouTube channel earlier this week, Hudson revealed he’d only recently been contacted in relation to the game, as preparations begin for recording.
“I just got an e-mail, because we’re doing another video game,” he explained. “They’re scheduling it now to do the recording and I’m not too sure who’s going to do it. I know me and [Dan Aykroyd], I think, I’m not sure if [Bill Murray] will do anything on it.”
Hudson also revealed he’s been providing input on the prototypes for his in-game character, but that the development team “seem to have a hard time” re-creating his image. “It’s so weird to me that they can get Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis to look exactly like they look,” he continued, “but I end up looking like Eddie Murphy or somebody.”
