Bill Murray to jump out of a plane at Chicago Air & Water Show for upcoming film 'City of Ember'

From the New York Times:

Bill Murray is taking his sense of humor to new heights. The movie star and former “Saturday Night Live” cast member has agreed to jump out of a plane at the Chicago Air and Water Show on Aug. 15, The Associated Press reported. Mr. Murray, 57, a Chicago native (and star of the upcoming Fox Walden film City of Ember), will parachute from a plane on behalf of the U.S.O. of Illinois, a spokeswoman for the mayor’s office confirmed. He plans to tandem jump with the Golden Knights, a skydiving team, and hopes to land on North Avenue Beach.
