Good news for the Ghostbusters fans out there as details on
the cast have been released.
With Bridesmaids and The
Heat director Paul Feig taking the helm on the all-female reboot there are
no real surprises at the names that are set to take the wheel of the Ecto-1.
Firstly Kristen Wiig, who worked with Feig on Bridesmaids, is set to star in
presumably the lead (possibly taking over the Ray role). Secondly, it’s no real
surprise to see Melissa McCarthy appear, appearing in major roles in both of
Feig’s last directorial outings. Presumably she’ll take over the helm in the
Murray role though it would be great to see her in don the white lab coat and
Egon spectacles, as long as she doesn’t fall into the trap of churning out a
typical Melissa McCarthy performance ala Bridesmaids,
The Heat, The Hangover: Part 3 or Tammy.
The final two names are generally unknown to British
audiences in the form of Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, two names from the
Saturday Night Live roster so it will be interesting how they handle the move
from small screen to big screen and whether they can keep pace with Wigg and
McCarthy.
Any other details on casts are sketchy but that hasn’t stopped
the rumours flying around on the inter-web with Paul Rudd hotly tipped to
appear as ‘Dan Barrett.’ Maybe we’ll get a cameo from the original ‘Busters too
perhaps? But what with Murray’s opinion on appearing in a third outing this
seems unlikely. He previously stated he would only appear in a third if Venkman
was to be killed off in the first five minutes. Nobody would want to see that!
Mr. Stay Puft is still in discussions.
Ghostbusters 3 will hit cinema screens on July 22nd
2016.
