MOVIES: New All-Female 'Ghostbusters' Cast Chosen

27 Jan 2015

Share on Reddit


Melissa McCarthy, who was already in talks for one of the leads, has signed on for the Paul Feig-directed reboot, and the studio is now negotiating with Kristen Wiig, as well as Saturday Night Live players Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Negotiations are ongoing but the quartet are expected to sign on as the specter-seeking, poltergeist-punishing and phantom-phollowing foursome in the reboot, which is eyeing a summer shoot in New York.

  1. Hui! The Bridesmaids got desperate and turned Ghostbusters. Was a fan of the Original cartoon, hope they do justice to the legacy and do a great movie.

  4. Between this and the Fantastic Four reboot trailer, today is full of bad movie news.

  6. Yea I know I'm not gonna be watching this in theaters. Rarely do with comedy unless a friend is paying.

  7. Not watching it when it comes out.

  8. hmmm. Didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

  9. At a certain point it becomes more prudent to avoid something altogether rather than to continue to lower expectations. With these two franchises, I believe avoidance is in order.

  10. I can't stay away from franchises where I at least enjoyed one installment. Loved Spiderman 1/2 and forced myself through Amazing Spiderman 1-2; enjoyed F4 (really not that bad for what it was) so I'll watch the new one.


    Same goes with the Xfranchise but I don't dare talk about it today anymore before I mention a certain actress again and lure her fanbase over

  11. I had some mild interest since the original movie is a classic, but this casting news has erased any interest whatsoever.

  12. Well, luckily for you, these are both reboots so any previous experience with the franchise doesn't count. Feel free to avoid them.

  13. I'll have to know what I bitch about :P

  14. So, given this casting, it's basically going to feel like a two-hour SNL parody of Ghostbusters. Pass.

  15. Ugh...Melissa McCarthy is nigh unwatchable. This is awful news.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Talented cast, but I still think the all female concept is a terrible take on the Ghostbusters. Not everything needs to be changed.

    ReplyDelete
  17. It's not gonna work. Period.

    ReplyDelete
  18. First this, now the talk of Chris Pratt (AKA the new Sam Worthington) playing Indy Jones. Good God.

    ReplyDelete
  19. My thoughts exactly.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Well I'm not gonna be seeing this, I dislike all those actresses.

    ReplyDelete
  21. The Fauxtastic Four (or should it be Fantastic Faux?) looks anything but good


    Even if I think the role is all kinds of wrong for him, I may check it out on cable some day since I like Michael B Jordan.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I like Jordan too but I think the idea of bringing these "ultimate" storylines to the screen is a horrible idea.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ugh, I hate everything with Melissa McCharthy...

  24. Kate McKinnon being in this makes me so happy, she deserves wider recognition. Melissa was a given. I really love Kristin Wiig and have since she was on SNL. Leslie Jones is still hit or miss on SNL for me, she's great when she appears on update but relies on the same jokes too often in skits. I'll be interested to see them all together. Wish it was R rated.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh dear god! I thought this was some type of joking rumor and I sure as hell wasn't taking it seriously, I can't believe they're serious about this.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Meh....will wait for Netflix on this one.
