Sigourney Weaver Will Also Return For The GHOSTBUSTERS Reboot

The rest of the cast are back (with the exception of Harold Ramis, obviously) so why not throw Sigourney Weaver into the mix too! Director Paul Feig has taken to twitter to post this news himself.

So there you have it: every living member of the main cast of the original Ghostbusters will return to make a cameo in Paul Feig's reboot. The director posted the below Tweet, confirming that Sigourney Weaver would appear in his movie, joining Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd and Annie Potts. Those other guys won't be playing their original characters, but some reports indicate that Weaver could possibly play Dana Barrett, which.... makes not a lick of sense. But hey, neither does bringing back the entire cast of Ghostbusters to play different people in a reboot, so who knows!



Ghostbusters stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Chris Hemsworth, and is set to hit theaters on July 15, 2016.

First Ghostbusters movie was alright. Murray was the only thing I really liked about it. Not interested in this reboot at all, given that Melissa McCarthy is awful in everything other than Mike and Molly.

They could bring back Elvis from the dead to make a special guest cameo appearance in the film and I still wouldn't watch it.

So its in the same universe as the original? Then why the [frick] are the original ghostbusters playing different [frick]ing characters? Plus that kind of goes against the synopsis.

“[Kristen] Wiig and [Melissa] McCarthy play a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real. Flash forward a few years and Wiig lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia U. (Like the original, the story takes place in New York City, even though it’s being shot in Boston.) Which is pretty sweet, until her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia.


If this is in the same universe as the original movies then ghosts being real would be a [frick]ing scientific fact she wouldn't be laughed out of her teaching posistion. First i thought this would suck cause of mellissa mccarthy just not being funny, but now the plot doesn't make any [frick]ing sense either. Way to go Feig

That isn't all the cast members...what about Rick Moranis? I heard he quit acting but it sure would be sweet to have him back.

I can't wait for this to come out and fail miserable so Paul Feig can shut up just like how Fantastic Four just shut up a lot of people.

Right, so they now have the entire original cast in this crap reboot. So why didn't they just make a flippin' sequel with them all??!! Seriously this is the stupidest thing ever!

Why would Weaver be playing a character from the original movies if its a reboot??!! Is it a reboot or not????

The more I hear, the more of a mess it sounds.
