Bill Murray IS preparing for the future... obviously... 

  

It's almost Friday so lets polish off the rum in advanced and maybe have a few tonight in preparation, it's probably what Bill is up to right now...

How We Work - Bill Murray

By definition, Hollywood stars must have agents and publicists. Not Bill Murray. He has never had a publicist and, five years ago, he fired his agents. "I said I didn’t ever want to speak to them again, and I never did," he says. "I like to cut my own lawn now. I don’t need a landscaper."

Now Murray’s only contact with the film business is through a freephone number. If people need to talk to him - perhaps producers who want him to star in a film - they have to call the number and leave a message. (Of course, they have to find the number first.) If he feels like it, he will call back. Often, he doesn’t. Sometimes, he’ll go for weeks without even listening to the messages. It took Sofia Coppola hundreds of phone calls and seven months to get him to look at the script for Lost in Translation. Even then, she wasn’t sure he was going to make the film until he appeared on the set on the first day of the shoot in Tokyo. Other directors have apparently been told to leave scripts in a phone booth somewhere near his home outside New York, up the Hudson River. On a recent film, a production assistant who needed to contact him was told to call his freephone and leave a number for a phone that she would not pick up, so he could call her back without having to talk to her. Of course, he doesn't see this as strange or eccentric. He likes to be accessible, he says, but on his own terms.

Just a heads up the Bill Murray Exhibition at Hemma is now running through till the end of September.

Also on a related note came across this 'Thank you card to Bill Murray' by Niege Borges.

Unfortunately the 'Bill doll' hasn't gone into production but you can buy a print of the costume changes here. We will all just have to wait a little longer to dress Bill Murray.

Feeling a tad rough today after last night, nothing Bill Murray can't fix.
