Fresh of who the new generation of Ghostbusters could begin to emerge...
Opinion remains fiercely divided over whether the planned Ghostbusters 3 is a good or bad idea, but the movie – like it or not – appears to be gaining traction.
Over at Feature Film Auditions, the site has uncovered the news that casting for the new film has begun. And, as a result, one or two names are being thrown into the mix.
Firstly, the obvious pieces of casting. Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd are both definitely on-board, and it looks too that Ernie Hudson and Sigourney Weaver should be returning, too. Bill Murray is listed as appearing, too. Assuming he doesn’t give any more magazine interviews, presumably.
The first new name being thrown into the mix, however, is Anna Faris. Faris remains best known for being the front face of the Scary Movie franchise, and, in our view, is a sorely underrated and underappreciated comedy actress. She’s rumoured to be lined up to be one of the new Ghostbusters in the film, and from where we’re sitting, that’s a smart choice.
Meanwhile, over at What’s Playing, the folks there have also uncovered the possible involvement of both Will Forte and Bill Hader from their source at Sony. Said source, we should note, also noted that they’d not heard of Anna Faris’ involvement in the project.
Make of all of that what you will. But answers will be forthcoming soon, Ghostbusters 3 heads into production next year.
