We’ve got an exclusive update on Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters revamp for you this morning, with Melissa McCarthy telling us what we can expect from the new film.
“Oh my god, I cannot be more excited to reboot it,” says McCarthy. “I mean, I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan - who isn't? I've seen that movie, like, 50,000 times. I just introduced it to my two kids, who loved it.”
“To get to work on such a great thing with that group of women is a dream,” she continues. I've known Kristen [Wiig] forever, and I know Kate [McKinnon] and Leslie [Jones] from SNL, so it's just going to be a blast.”
And speaking of that cast, McCarthy is confident that she and her co-stars can give Feig’s reboot a totally fresh flavour…
“Absolutely. For sure. Yes because it's a female cast, but also because is going to put a really modern, current twist on it. It will be scary and have good action. He pulls from the classics but he's a very modern director. I truly believe they could
not have picked a better director to launch that franchise.”
Ghostbusters will open in the US on 22 July 2016, with a UK date yet to be confirmed.
