J529 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 http://variety.com/2015/film/news/ghostbusters-female-cast-taking-shape-at-sony-1201415358/ After years of trying to spin off one of its most popular properties, Sony looks to be getting closer to getting a “Ghostbusters” movie off the ground. Sources tell Variety that Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones are in early negotiations to star in the “Ghostbusters” reboot. Paul Feig will direct, with Katie Dippold penning the script. Feig tweeted a photo of Wiig, McCarthy, McKinnon and Jones on Tuesday. Story details are unknown other than this film centers on the next generation of Ghostbusters, who happen to be female. Rumors have swirled for a while about whom Sony had met with for starring roles following the leaked Sony emails that said actresses such as McCarthy, Wiig and Emma Stone had met for roles. Ivan Reitman is producing. Scheduling still has to be worked out among the actresses, but if the deals are finalized, the studio would be its closest to rebooting the franchise in quite some time. It is also unknown what character each woman would be playing. Wiig’s latest pic “Diary of a Teenage Girl” just premiered at Sundance, and she is currently filming the Fox sci-fi pic “The Martian” alongside Matt Damon. She is repped by UTA and Odenkirk Entertainment. McCarthy is repped by CAA and can be seen next in Fox’s “Spy.” McKinnon and Jones can still be seen on “Saturday Night Live.” Jones is repped by APA and Integral Entertainment and McKinnon is repped by UTA and Principato-Young Entertainment.

Valentine Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I really, really saddened to hear Melissa McCarthy's name attached to this project. She's to be the least funny person in show business today. She'll ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hey Hollywood can you stop destroying classics by rebooting them PLS Seems harder nowadays to come up with original stuff. Not to mention most of the highest grossing movies are based around wizardry, space aliens, and elves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethunder Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Leslie Jones is sooooooo annoying. I don't think she's ever had a funny skit on SNL. All she does is yell all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 That cast looks brutal, except for Wiig. Any of the following would make suitable replacements for what is being rumoured: Nobody. This is a terrible idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
