Will Bill Murray jump on board the all-female Ghostbusters flick?
Following the news of all-female cast coming together, Sony has now slated its new Ghostbusters pic to be released on July 22, 2016. It was announced Wednesday morning that Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones would star in the new movie with Paul Feig writing and directing. Feig himself tweeted the release date on Tuesday, just a few hours after tweeting a picture of the cast. Ivan Reitman is producing the movie but no plot details are known at this time. SEE ALSO: Fantastic Four teaser trailer released Though the new reboot is being described as an all-female take, there are in fact a few male roles. And surprise surprise, Paul Feig hopes Bill Murray will consider one of them. #Ghostbusters #Ghostbusters women All female cast for reboot – Time for the #women to sort out the paranormal mess! pic.twitter.com/GUlypFD1if — Joan (@Joan_RRXtension) January 28, 2015 If Feig actually manages to get Murray, thatd be huge. Murrays lack of interest in returning has been a sticking point for previous incarnations of the film. For what its worth, though, Murray seems into the all-female Ghostbusters idea. Moreover, while Murray may be done with Venkman, hed be playing an entirely different character if he joined Feigs reboot. But thats a big if. The site cautions that Ghostbusters is still in the early stages, meaning a lot could change between now and the (as yet unannounced) release date. Which might be a good thing, since they also comment on the awkwardness of Feig and Katie Dippolds attempt to craft a new film on an old property. Almost as soon as the project was announced, many people (including Bill Murray) assumed Wiig and McCarthy were shoe-ins for the lead roles. Just a few weeks ago, reports circulated that the entire production schedule of the film, which is expected to shoot this summer, revolved around accommodating McCarthy’s packed schedule (which includes another Paul Feig-directed comedy, Spy, set to come out May 22).
