"It sounds great to me. It sounds as good an idea as any other. There are a lot of women that could scare off any kind of vapor. No, it's a grand idea, I don't know who they're talking about, but it's a good idea, I would watch it. I mean, I love Robert Palmer's videos, so why wouldn't I love the female Ghostbusters?"
He also offered some of his own casting suggestions and ideas based on some of the rumors that have been swirling so far:
”Melissa [McCarthy] would be a spectacular Ghostbuster. And Kristen Wiig is so funny - God, she's funny. I like this girl Linda Cardellini a lot. And Emma Stone is funny. There are some funny girls out there."
If Sony Pictures goes down that route--Bill's suggestions are perfect!!
Murray just worked with McCarthy on "St. Vincent".
McCarthy was asked about the idea: "Oh, my God, that's daunting. That's taking on a legend, a legendary movie. But I would do anything with those ladies, anything at all."
She does admit though that: "nobody has talked to me about it."
The Lego Movie" helmers Phil Lord and Chris Miller were eyed for the gig but could not ink a deal. Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II director Ivan Reitman skipped out on calling action for the film in the Spring after the passing of co-star Harold Ramis...
"Bridesmaids" and "The Heat" director Paul Feig has reportedly shown interest in taking on the project, but no formal negotiations have taken place and a lot of details have to be worked out for it to happen.
Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg penned the original script which has since been reworked.
