We already knew that Paul Feig was completely rebooting GHOSTBUSTERS and with an all-female cast and now…it’s looks like he’s confirmed his leads!
Via Feig’s Twitter, he’s put up a picture of Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones! We don’t know the latter two as well in the UK but they’ve all got their Saturday Night Live loving in over the recent years and are four very funny ladies indeed. Everyone from Rebel Wilson to Gillian Anderson wanted a bite of the ‘Busters, so this looks like the first say in a brand new outing.
Interestingly, I recently heard that Ivan Reitman backed the third, now new, outing for his old team and said it was a ‘healthy transition‘ for Feig and the ladies to take over and quite frankly, why not. Yes, the original is held in high esteem by many, that includes myself, but many generations will just find this as a whole new outing. Anyway, here’s your image and the release date below the image!

Melissa McCarthy will bring loads of cool ideas to the new Ghostbusters movie
and so will Leslie Jones Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig and having girl power
to the franchise will be fresh and McCarthy was on everyone’s lips from the very start
that Paul Feig announced the film being a direct reboot not remake of the franchise
and have his characters enlisted by an government covert agents with parapsychology
background’s and Peter Dinklage the star of the epic drama game of thrones rumored
to do villain duties in the rebooted film and a possible role for Bill Murray as an skeptic
goverment debunker who is equal to Walter Peck played by William Atherton from the original
franchise but not clear and final yet as he dismissed himself originally when the third movie came about but Dan Aykroyd will serve executive producing duties and Ivan Reitman as producer but
Feig teased on an new look no ghost logo and updated costumes and gadgets for the actresses
to don and it’s slated for next july in 2016 .
