Murray & Jarmusch to Reteam on a Comedy Source: The Hollywood
Reporter Thursday, May 20, 2004
Bill Murray is set to star in a yet-to-be-titled Jim Jarmusch comedy
that will shoot in the summer, says The Hollywood Reporter. The film
will shoot in upstate New York and is expected to be in the $8
million-$10 million bracket, depending on final cast.
Murray appears in Jarmusch's latest movie Coffee and Cigarettes, in
which he discusses the pros and cons of caffeine and nicotine with
the Wu-Tang Clan rappers RZA and GZA. It recently opened in North
America.
Jarmusch has reportedly been chasing Murray for some time for this
role. The actor finally agreed to take the part if the picture could
be fast-tracked into production to fit his schedule. Other cast
members have yet to be locked down.
