Ghostbusters Reboot

For a long while, there's been rumors of a third Ghostbusters movie. In fact, Dan Aykroyd even confirmed it on the Today Show while promoting Get on Up. But now, a more firm confirmation has come to light. The Ghostbusters film franchise is actually getting a reboot. With an all female cast. And boy am I excited if they do it right. Because they could either do it really well or really garbage. The bad way to go would be to cast people like Melissa McCarthy, Mayim Bialik, and Kat Dennings. That would be the biggest let down ever. On the other hand, the photos above are the way to go. Amy Poehler, naturally, in the Peter Venkman role. Mindy Kaling would be the new Harold Ramis-Egon Spengler writer type. With Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig, however, I think they could be used interchangeably with the Ernie Hudson and Dan Aykroyd. They'd work either way, but I chose Tina for Dan because of more Tina-Amy interaction. Now, that cast would be probably unlikely to come to fruition. But one can dream, right? I'd love that movie so much. For now, we'll just hope it'll be done right. I would like to see Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd, return for a cameo, at least. (It's too bad about Harold.) Also, Paul Feig will likely be the director and he's pretty cool. See you on the other side.
