But in this case the thread would indicate that in 2013 Murry was refusing to endorse the franchise and SONY was willing to litigate to force Murray's hand.

It throws into doubt the very vague endorsements by the original cast that showed, suddenly, post 2013.

But hadn’t Murray maintained for a long time that he wasn’t interested in donning that proton pack again? “That’s true, I wasn’t,” Murray admitted, though the addition of actresses like Wiig and McCarthy — who he called “a great hope” — changed his mind. “I like those girls a lot,” he said. “I mean, I really do. They are tough to say no to. And Paul is a real nice fellow.”

This email put his "enthusiasm" in a whole new light.
