As we know know, Ghostbusters 3 is a sure thing for an Autumn(Fall) start and casting is said to be getting under-way soon in in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. According to Whats Playing, auditions for “young male and female actors aged 18-30″ are on the cards and they confirm that the film will feature a band of new, young recruits.
But some of those new recruit's places are already being eyed up by some of today's SNL brightest young stars according to the rumor mill. Apparently
Anna Faris, Bill Heder and
Will Forte are being looked at. The Faris rumor broke first, and Whats Playing then did some digging. A contact at Sony reported back..
“Dunno. First I’ve heard of it. Heard Will Forte’s name mentioned and Bill Hader, but not Faris. I’m not in on all that though, so she could be; [Sony] does like her”.
The original team of Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hunson and Harold Ramis, along with Sigourney Weaver are all expected to make appearances too. If the above trio are in line for roles I guess it makes sense since most of the original cast started out on SNL back in the day. Of course one could argue that there was a slight(big?) difference in talent back in that day! Regardless, Faris is a fine comedic actress. The other 2 I could kinda take or leave but I guess they could do much worse too. What do you think?
