The long awaited casting news for the Kevin Fieg-led Ghostbusters film with an all-female cast is here!
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Melissa McCarthy, who was already in talks for one of the leads, has signed on for the reboot, and the studio is now negotiating with Kristen Wiig, as well as Saturday Night Live players Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon.
McCarthy and Wiig have worked with Feig before, both breaking out with the director’s Bridesmaids comedy, so Wiig's participation is likely. We'll see about the other two getting locked in, but filming is rumored to start this summer in NYC!
What do you think?
Personally I love the original, it is sacred - and a reboot isn't really necessary IMHO, but more female led-movies are good too...
