\"BillMurrayGhostbusters\"<\/a>This weekend I managed to catch up with the 30th anniversary Ghostbusters<\/strong> re-release that is currently in theaters. As I sat in the dark, munching popcorn to keep myself from reciting dialogue along with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and the rest, I found myself once again admiring the lightening-in-a-bottle chemistry between the leads and thinking that with co-star Harold Ramis’ passing earlier this year and Murray’s ongoing reluctance to return for a third film, any type of follow up would be a fool’s errand, even as much as I had been hoping to see one materialize over these past several years when it was a distinct possibility.<\/p>\n

Bill Murray, though, seems to think that rebooting the franchise may be a good idea and as he has given some though to the current reports that Sony wants to make the series a vehicle for an all-female ensemble. Speaking to the press<\/a> at the Toronto International Film Festival, he sounded downright enthusiastic –<\/p>\n

I would go to that movie, and they\u2019d probably have better outfits, too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Murray has also given some thought as to whom he might like to see in those better outfits.<\/p>\n

Melissa [McCarthy, his co-star in the upcoming St. Vincent<\/strong>]would be a spectacular Ghostbuster. And Kristen Wiig is so funny \u2014 God, she\u2019s funny! I like this girl Linda Cardellini (Mad Men<\/em>) a lot. And Emma Stone is funny. There are some funny girls out there.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Admittedly, that is a good group of funny ladies, and they might be able to generate a good chemistry between themselves. McCarthy and Wiig have already shown that they work well together when they co-starred in Bridesmaids<\/strong>. And another good sign is that film was directed by Paul Feige, who is reportedly being talked with to helm this film. But I still think we would be better served by maybe giving those talented ladies their own, original vehicle to shine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The franchise star has some ideas as to who could strap on his proton pack.<\/div>\n
