'Ghostbusters' reboot cast revealed

Brace yourselves........

It's an all female case -- Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon. Not sure how I feel about this. I hate when they remake classic movies. They are never any good. These ladies have big shoes to fill. Ghostbusters is one of my favorite movie series.

Well, who else was he going to call?

Director Paul Feig took to Twitter Wednesday to reveal his all-female leads for his upcoming "Ghostbusters" reboot:

It was no surprise that at the top of the marquee will be Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, the stars of Feig’s mega-hit comedy, “Bridesmaids.” McCarthy in particular has developed a De Niro/Scorsese like bond with the director, having also starred in Feig’s “The Heat” and the upcoming, “Spy.”

Rounding out the new-look “Ghostbusters” cast are “Saturday Night Live” vets Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon.


The fab foursome will be filling the proton packs once wielded by Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and the late Harold Ramis, the stars of the first two “Ghostbusters movies” in the ‘80s. Sony had high hopes for a third installment of the supernatural comedy franchise, but original director Ivan Reitman dropped out in the wake of his friend Ramis’ death last year.

With the script for “Ghostbusters III” having to be severely rewritten in the wake of Ramis’ passing anyway and Bill Murray vowing not to return, an opening was created for Feig’s vision.

"My favorite thing to do is work with funny women," Feig told Entertainment Weekly in October. "I was like, what if it was an all female cast? If they were all women? Suddenly, my mind kind of exploded: that would be really fun."

I'll give it a chance. These women are pretty funny and it will definitely do well in the box office. I had really hoped that Bill Murray would be back, but he's vowing never to return. It is true though that nothing beats the original.
