Okay, they're making a new Ghostbusters film whether anyone wants it or not, and the latest idea is an all female cast, directed by Paul Feig (The Heat). Groan.
So here's a fun game, let's all cast Ghostbusters 3! I'll start and I hope others will find this idea fun too. (and I hope this is in the right place, if not, mods, please move it for me? Gracias.)
My basic idea is that Peter Venkman (a quick cameo by Bill Murray) has franchised the Ghostbusters as a way to pay his alimony to Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver), cause you knew that wasn't going to last, and we focus on a new crew of Ghostbusters, barely keeping the whole, terribly mismanaged business afloat.
My choices:
Chris Pratt
This would be a guy to lock down NOW. Guardians of the galaxy was amazing, and he's on his way to becoming a huge star, but he would be an easy person for the audience to relate to. He'd be us, the fan, getting to be a freakin' Ghostbuster, and how cool is that?
Kristen Wiig
So yeah, there SHOULD be a female Ghostbuster, cause that's a good idea. And it should be Kristen Wiig. She's gorgeous, hilarious, and has that sort of Gilda Radner quality of going wherever it takes for a laugh, vanity free. Maybe she could start the film as the secretary or something, and then have to step up and save the guys asses? I can actually kind of see this and it seems great to me. (Plus anything to keep Melissa McCarthy out of this film, which you know will happen. I don't find her funny...like at all.)
Jay Baruschel.
I just love this guy. He is hilarious in This is the End, Tropic Thunder, and How to Train Your Dragon. He could definitely play a nerdy scientist type, like a more geeky, less confident Egon maybe? Either way, I just like this guy and he'd work for me.
John Cusack
I really want to see this happen. John Cusack could play the cynical wiseass of the group (watch Hot Tub Time Machine, he's hysterical). Sort of the Bill Murray role. He'd be an older Ghostbuster who's kind of burned out on the whole thing, and surrounded by people who's enthusiasm annoys him.
Of course I could also see people like Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, or Craig Robinson taking spots in the cast too, hell, making the entire cast just the guys from Hot Tub Time Machine would appeal to me, cause I love that movie, but these are my choices...
Anyone else?
