“Ghostbusters 3” is still happening even after Harold Ramis’ death. The Sony sequel originally called for him to make a cameo appearance along Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd, but now needs to be tweaked after the noted comedian’s death.

Ramis died on February 24 of complications of autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis at his home. He was 69. His death left a huge void in Hollywood, especially in the comedy community, in which he was a big influence to both his contemporaries and later generations.

His unfortunate passing also left Sony Pictures in a bind. Ramis, Murray, and Aykroyd were supposed to appear briefly in the third movie to pass the proverbial baton to the new ghost busters. This wouldn’t happen now.

Ramis co-wrote both “Ghostbusters” and “Ghostbusters 2” films in the ‘80s, famously playing Egon Spengler in both films as well.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the script for the oft-delayed project, written by “The Office” writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, will have to be tweaked.

A studio source, meanwhile, claimed that Ramis’ role in the film was only minimal, and won’t affect the script that much.

“He was always great to bounce something off of, and that will certainly be missed,” the source said of the late actor. “But it won’t affect the script.”

Don’t expect the highly anticipated sequel to hit theatres anytime soon, though. The script hasn’t even progressed enough to start filming in 2014.

Meanwhile, Murray, who co-starred with Ramis in several other films, has broken his silence on his friend’s death.

“Harold Ramis and I together did the National Lampoon Show off Broadway, Meatballs, Stripes, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day. He earned his keep on this planet. God bless him,” he said in a statement to Time.

In 2004, Ramis revealed to The New Yorker that he and Murray were estranged. The two had a falling out while filming “Groundhog Day” in 1993.

“It’s a huge hole in my life,” Ramis said. “But there are so many pride issues about reaching out. Bill would give you his kidney if you needed it, but he wouldn’t necessarily return your phone call.”

Apparently, they reconciled before Ramis passed away. According to the Chicago Tribune, Murray and his brother Brian Doyle-Murray visited him while he was ill.
