So many comedians to choose from, so few roles.
Who you gonna call? Paul Feig!
Feig, whose streak of recent hits includes Bridesmaids and The Heat, confirmed on Twitter today that he will indeed direct the reboot of the Ghostbusters franchise. And this time, it’s ladies only.
It's official. I'm making a new Ghostbusters & writing it with @katiedippold & yes, it will star hilarious women. That's who I'm gonna call.
