Ghostbusters that's who! I don't know about you but I am pumped for this movie. Woman taking on male driven franchises is a great thing and these four women all have the comedic chops to take on said role's. Now a whole bunch of stuff has been leaking from set and I'm here to take you through them and to give my opinion on them. Enjoy!
Bill Murray (Peter Venkman) will be taking on a new role in this movie. He will reportedly be playing Martin Heiss, the main debunker of all things supernatural, think Walter Peck in the original. Dan Aykroyd (Ray Stantz) is reported to be playing a taxi driver and Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore) has also been cast in a unspecified role.
But in the most recent of news from the set it has been confirmed by director Paul Feig that Miss Sigourney Weaver herself has also been cast for this movie. I have no idea if she will reprise her role of Dana Barrett or if she will be taking on another role entirely but from the looks of things the latter may be a distinct possibility.
I'm a bit ambivalent to this news, one the one hand I'm disappointed as I would have loved to see the old cast reprise their roles for this movie. But on the other hand I'm pretty excited to see something new and I think it's a bold, creative move. I believe the easy thing would be to give the old cast their old roles back by passing the torch and by not doing this the movie would be doing something new and different. I guess we'll just have to wait to July 2016 to figure out if it was the right way to go.
