Ghostbusters Reboot: Lawrence & Wilson Eyed For Roles?

Both The Hunger Games film series headliner Jennifer Lawrence and "Pitch Perfect" star Rebel Wilson seem to have had meetings about potentially starring in the Ghostbusters reboot at Sony Pictures.

Wilson told Today that: "I have had a meeting. But who knows? They will have to look at the script when it's finished... I'd do that for free. I probably shouldn't say that live on TV."

Meanwhile, Lawrence told MTV UK that she had met with director Paul Feig, but it isn't known if an official offer has been made.


Katie Dippold (The Heat, Parks and Recreation), and Feig, will overhaul the script for the new "Ghostbusters" which will focus on an all-female team according to Heat Vision.

It's also going to be a all out reboot of the series and will seemingly ignore the two earlier films and their continuity in favor of launching a whole new franchise.

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...

Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg penned the original script

Original cast member actor Bill Murray is cool with the idea and even had suggested who should star in the new film.

Casting is at s very early stage, with the movie likely not going into production until well into next year at the earliest.
