Aw, man. That blows. He rocked as Egon in "Ghostbusters" and as Russell in "Stripes" too.

:sadangel:

He was also good in Stripes. He had a big influence in several good '80s movies.

Bill's been jerking Harold around for years and years, promising to read a script. Harold begged him several times to either get on board, or just say no, so Harold could move forward. Harold really wanted Bill on the film, and so was willing to wait, but had options if Bill just said no.

I hope Bill got whatever he wanted out being a jackass.,

RIP

Well that sequel will never happen. He really is a ghost, buster!

I wonder if this rare condition is the real reason for the delays, rather than Murray?

According to the Chicago papers, Murray recently visited the ailing Ramis, despite the two "being estranged for several years".

RIP, Harold Ramis. Your writing was enjoyed by millions and inspired dozens of follow-on comedians. :sadangel:

If someone doesn't say 'yes' fast enough, that's a 'no'. :shrug:

Disease That Killed Harold Ramis Attacks Arteries, Veins

Feb 24, 2014, 1:59 PM

The rare disease that killed comedy legend Harold Ramis narrows the blood vessels, slowly starving the organs they supply.

Ramis died Monday at the age of 69 from complications of vasculitis, an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks its own arteries and veins. The severity depends on the degree of the inflammation in the blood vessels and the organs affected. And while some cases of go into remission with treatment, others are chronic, debilitating and deadly.

Ramis had been battling vasculitis for four years, according to a statement from his agency.

Symptoms of vasculitis include fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue and general aches and pains, according to the National Institutes of Health. Depending on the organs affected, it can also cause splotchy skin, shortness of breath, blindness, hearing loss, muscle weakness and paralysis.

Blood tests can detect disease-causing antibodies and other markers of inflammation to help diagnose the condition, and a biopsy can confirm the narrowing of the blood vessels. An X-ray taken while special dye flows through the blood vessels, known as angiography, can also help diagnose the disease.
