An article in People magazine (or perhaps another one) a while back discussed a reunion of sorts among cast members of the old SCTV comedy club. The article mentioned “the ailing Rick Moranis” and left it at that, as if we hoi polloi are supposed to know what is regularly talked about in Hollywood.
Anyway, enough rambling. What I want to know is, what’s the deal with my favorite Ghostbuster? Is he dying? Dead? Getting better?
Last I heard he was working on a sequel to Strange Brew with Dave Thomas – that’s the SCTV guy not the hamburger guy. Apparently, the production got into heavy financial problems half-way through shooting and was pulled.
However, I am willing to support anyone who wants to claim it’s all a big cover up for some embarrassing life-threatening disease. Any rumor mongers out there?
THe SCTV newsgroup has had nothing to say on this. I would guess (in my present state of knowledge) that it just meant he had the flu or something at the time.
