'Ghostbusters' Reboot Director Confirms All-Female Cast With New Writer
Who you gonna call? All the funny ladies!
Paul Feig, who signed on to direct the Ghostbusters reboot in early August, has confirmed that comedy writer Katie Dippold will help co-write the script and the film will star a team comprised of all women.
The Hollywood Reporter first reported the news, which Feig then tweeted about on Wednesday.
Dippold is best known for penning The Heat (Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy), which Feig also directed. Dippold cut her comedic writing teeth working on NBC's Parks and Rec.
The Ghostbusters project was originally announced as a sequel to the 1984 hit, most likely starring members of the original cast. But after the death of Harold Ramis, script editing issues and original director Ivan Reiman pulling out, the sequel was restructured.
Feig is known for comedies like Bridesmaids.
Twitter was thrilled about the feminist twist to the classic film, with several fans begging for Feig to consider casting stars like Kristen Wiig and Tina Fey. McCarthy would also be a shoo-in, considering that she has starred in several of Feig's films.

ITA. I feel this reboot will be disastrous and tarnish the old Ghostbusters.
Why does everything need to be remade nowadays?

LAME - Lame, Lame, Lame !!!
I swear if they start remaking 16 Candles, Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, etc, I'm leaving the country!
Can't ANYONE come up with an original story? These remakes are EMBARASSING !

I honestly think this will work. For one love Melissa McCarthy, I think she's hysterical. I can see Kristen Wiig and Sandra Bullock pulling it off with her too. I would totally watch it.

People are just out of ideas. 
I think I prefer this over the 15th redo of Superman and Spiderman. I loved the first Ghostbusters- I remember going to see it in the theater with my parents and brothers.   With the right cast it would be awesome.

No thanks

Re: 'Ghostbusters' Reboot Director Confirms All-Female Cast With New Writer
WHY??? The original Ghostbusters movies had a mostly male fan base. Fans have been waiting for the 3rd Ghostbusters to come out forever...and they finally do it and they decide to ruin it by completely changing it and having a cast of all women??
Ghostbusters fans are going to hate this.

I think any reboot of Ghostbusters, male or female, is just a terrible idea. It doesn't need a reboot. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I completely agree. Think of all the product and toys they sold to young boys back in the 80's. They are missing that boat entirely now.
Harold Ramis is probably rolling in his grave.

Re: 'Ghostbusters' Reboot Director Confirms All-Female Cast With New Writer
If they're going to do it with an all female cast, then please please find someone other than Sandra Bullock, Melissa Mcarthy or Kristen Whig! Those 3 are sooo overdone and worn out as comedic actresses.
FTR, i think it could be funny, but not as a reboot. Don't call it Ghostbusters, call it something else. It will not be anything like the original and will be embarrassing to that franchise!
Why can't they leave the old movies alone?? its rare to have a remake that is good

I wish it wasn't a reboot but a 3rd ghostbusters - just an extension of the first 2 like it was intended but with females. Them remaking the film just bothers me a lot.

I agree. I have the way the remakes are done now, from kids cartoons to movies.
