Paul Feig Eyed For Ghostbusters 3

Paul Feig Eyed For Ghostbusters 3


As Sony considers a female-led reboot

It’s lingered in development limbo and the rumour void. Script drafts, concepts and potential talent have come and gone and yet despite Sony’s best efforts, Ghostbusters 3 has proved a stubborn mule of a film. Now comes the latest movement, an intriguing combo of word that Bridesmaids director Paul Feig is the favourite choice to write and shoot the film and that it would be a reboot that focuses on a female team of spirit-chasing characters.


While the idea of rebooting the original film still feels like a bad one – it’s really not a movie that ever needs a redo – this is a much more interesting idea than simply having Dan Aykroyd and his surviving colleagues handing the proton packs over to ‘buster-alike younger actors for a new film that carries on the story. It also opens up fresh avenues and ideas and Feig’s not a bad call to oversee that, given his success working with actresses such as Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock.


Plus the chance to showcase some of the funniest females working in Hollywood today is one that has all sorts of possibilities. We know that Emma Stone previously considered yet passed on a role in a third film; could she be tempted back? Who would you cast if the studio has to go ahead with the idea at all?
