While Bill Murray has proven to be sometimes difficult to get involved in certain movie projects, with many of the delays to the Ghostbusters franchise coming from Murray’s indecision about continuing to be part of the film series, he has never been one to turn down the opportunity to get in front of his fans and do his own thing. Therefore, it should not be a surprise that the 71-year-old actor decided to set up an impromptu performance in Washington Square Park with cellist Jan Vogler, pianist Vanessa Perez, and violinist Mira Wang, where he performed poetry and songs including I Feel Pretty from West Side Story.Murray is, without doubt, one of the most loved stars in Hollywood, and whether he is acting, singing, doing comedy, or just walking down the street waving at passing cars, his fans are always happy to see anything and everything the Groundhog Day star does. His unexpected musical concert was witnessed by a number of people, including Karen Duffy, the producer of Andrew Muscato’s New Worlds documentary about Murray’s evening of music and stories at the Athens’ Acropolis, the imminent release of which was the reason for Murray’s appearance. You can check out the videos of the small concert below.
After playing through a handful of songs, Murray announced to those around that, “The cops day we have to turn off the microphones. Let’s rip this place apart!” and the group quickly left the park. The premiere of New Worlds takes place at Village East on none other than Groundhog Day itself, February 2nd, which could not be more appropriately planned.
Bill Murray Is Following Up His Ghostbusters: Afterlife Appearance With Many New Projects
Bill Murray’s recent return to the Ghostbusters franchise, along with co-stars Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson, was a hugely successful comeback for the much-loved movie series after a thirty-year absence, and it is just one of several movie projects that Murray has recently been involved in. He was also recently seen in Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch, and is already down to star in Anderson’s next movie, Asteroid City, making that movie his 10th collaboration with the director having only not appeared in his first feature.
Murray is also currently filming on the Peter Farrelly movie The Greatest Beer Run Ever, which also stars Russell Crowe and Zac Efron, and recently confirmed that he is playing a villain role in the upcoming Marvel movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, although the details on both projects are currently few and far between. For Murray’s fans, there can never be enough Bill Murray in the world, and when you have someone who will randomly turn up in a park and start belting out tunes in the middle of winter when any other 71-year-old would just want to sit in a warm house watching TV and chilling, it is hard to predict precisely where and when he may turn up next.
