GHOSTBUSTERS Star Sigourney Weaver Seemingly Confirms Original Cast Members' Return For New Movie

Amid rumors that the likes of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd & Sigourney Weaver are set to return for Jason Reitman's follow-up to the original Ghostbusters films, the Alien actress appears to have confirmed it.

It looks like Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters will indeed see the return of the original team of spook hunters.

During an interview with Parade, Sigourney Weaver was asked about reuniting with Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd for the new film, and replied, “It’s going to be crazy working with the guys again!”

Sound like pretty solid confirmation to us, although Sony reportedly refused to comment.

Reitman's follow-up is said to focus on a single mother (Carrie Coon) and her son (Finn Wolfhard), so it remains to be seen how Peter Venkman, Ray Stanz and Weaver's Dana Barrett factor into the story. There's no word on Ernie Hudson reprising the role of Winston Zeddemore.

We should learn more at this weekend’s Ghostbusters Fan Fest in Los Angeles, as Reitman tweeted that he was “working on a little surprise” for the event.

@Ronan3Accuser - You're not dealing with the brightest group when you're talking about Hollyweird.

@jst5 - oh I know. I mean if the girl one was a good movie or funny or remotely profitable we wouldn't be getting this one. But these people ain't getting any younger

When I was little one of the VHS tapes we had was one where we had recorded Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2, and Beetlejuice. My brothers and I watched the ever loving sh** out of it. What a way to grow up.

@MosquitoFarmer - I only remember VHS tapes going as high as 200 minutes, how did you fit 3 movies on that? Or am I remembering it wrong?
MosquitoFarmer
MosquitoFarmer - 6/8/2019, 12:44 PM
@Asturgis - As far as I remember there used to be three different length VHS tapes, at least when I used to buy them. 2 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour. SP, LP, and something else.

@MosquitoFarmer - There were different lengths, but you could also record at different qualities - the other was EP.
Asturgis
Asturgis - 6/8/2019, 1:27 PM
@MosquitoFarmer - Oh yeah, there were 200 minutes that could go 600 if you used low quality recording or something, damn, I forgot about that.

Harold Ramis is going to be in it too as an actual ghost. Belushi said that since they wouldn’t let him be in the first one, no way in Hell he was coming back for this sequel.

A piece of related news: the excellent game from 2009 is being remastered for the current generation of consoles. If you haven't already played it, do so.

How does one ask a SJW out for a date? There should be a really long book on the subject. And I won't read it.

"working on a little surprise"

Would be so cool if that suprise is them announcing the He-Man movie.
