TORONTO (AP) β The Toronto Film Festival has turned its second day into a very welcome new holiday: “Bill Murray Day.”
So was dubbed Friday in Toronto, where three of Murray’s classics β “Stripes,” ”Groundhog Day” and “Ghostbusters” β were to screen ahead of the premiere of Murray’s latest, the next-door-neighbor comedy “St. Vincent.”
Murray maniacs arrived outfitted in costumes of beloved Murray characters, from his ocean explorer Steve Zissou to his Army cadet from “Stripes.” Ivan Reitman, director of “Stripes” and “Ghostbusters,” was on hand to introduce each film, and Murray was to host several Q&As.
Though Bill Murray Day was planned to last 24 hours, many were hoping it would β like “Groundhog Day” β reset Saturday. Fans are warned to be on the lookout for Ned Ryerson.
