The article says he was approached to participate in the two most recent Ghostbusters outings, but declined. I can certainly understand wanting nothing to do with the 2016 McCarthy/Wiig/McKinnon/Jones cringe-fest (I'd like to think he read the script and responded to the director/studio with "you're kidding, right?"). But I thought he might've thrown in with this upcoming one, since it seems to be more of a direct tie to the originals, and Murray, Aykroyd, Hudson, Weaver and Potts (basically everyone except Harold Ramis) appear to be involved, according to IMDb.
Oh well. The man has his reasons.
