Ghostbusters Guru Dan Akroyd Confirms New Female Lead For The Team

Ghostbusters Guru Dan Akroyd Confirms New Female Lead For The Team

But who will it be?

Unfortunately we still don't know. Dan has not released that information yet. And until today this was still a fart in the pants rumor. We knew Dan wanted a female member, but no one knew he wanted that female member to be the leader of the group.

Dan recently gave an interview to The Guardian, in which he talks a little about his future plans for the Ghostbusters franchise and what kind of weapons we can expect to see in the third film. Dan states "There'll be a whole new generation that has to be trained and a leader that you'll all love when you meet her," says Aykroyd. "There'll be lots of cadets, boys and girls who'll be learning how to use the neuron splitter and the inter-planet interceptor - new tools to enable them to slip from dimension to dimension."

I guess this news replaces a popular male comedian as the leader, I thought Steve Carol was going to land the role of the new lead for the team or Vince Vaughn. Don't get me wrong I like hot females as much as the next guy, I just think it is the wrong move. Remember guys don't fix what's not broke.

Well if they still go crass and overtly sexual, it could be just as funny with a woman making those jokes as well. Let's not be sexist. If Vince, or Steve were in it, them having to follow a woman, and one who is constantly either sexually harassing them or making them feel sexually inferior it could be funnier.

This sounds so bad. And why do he describe the new cadets as "boys and girls", this better not be a teenage ghostbusters. Its kind of depressing to read this, Ghostbusters had so much potential...

Cadets? Boys and girls? This does not sound like a Ghostbusters movie...this is starting to sound like Power Rangers training academy. And this female leader better actually be somebody everybody likes, because I didn't even know either of the actresses they mentioned in that other article! Oh boy...this is turning into a snowball of fa...fai...fail...faiiiillll...FAIILLLLL...failfailafail

SpiderMan209, exactly! i am not familiar with her, but i definitely agree.. she would make an amazing kylie! to be honest, i really do feel they are going for the extreme ghostbusters approach, the more info i hear about this third movie, the more it sounds like the whole concept behind extreme gb's..

SHAMAN & LEEE777 BOTH GOT THE RIGHT IDEA!

That Babe in the GB ballcap, and Amy Adams in a Jello Fight! With ME as the poor defensless (yet submisive) Referee! Purrrrrrr. :)

Shaman - 5/27/2009, 11:29 AM
LOL Yeah, Amy Adams is a babe for sure but i'm actually serious. She's a good actress, white hot and on top of that, she's actually funny!!! She's perfect to be a part of the Ghostbusters :))

Tina Faye would make a hilarious Ghostbuster! It's one thing having a female lead in this film, but it's another thing entirely when that female lead has the necessary COMEDIC TIMING! Faye would rock that movie if she were given a role.

jman... Vince Vaughn? REALLY?... Nope. No. Negative. Speaking priveleges revoked.

they are probably going the Extreme GB route with this i liked that show I used to get up early for school just so i could watch it it was on at like 6am.

I was wondering if they would go the Extreme route since i first heard about this since all the original actors are really old now and most of them are really fat the guy that played Egon got huge.

C'mon guys, lol, aren't we being a bit sexist here. It says "a female lead" meaning one of the lead characters will be a female.(remember the original GB had 4 lead characters) So lets just chill for a while and bask in the glory of a new GB movie on the horizon until we get something real to bitch about.

I like the Amy Adams idea. You know this is just a bridge to a larger audience. Larger audience=larger appeal=pants stuffed with dolla bills y'all!

I think it's a good idea. Nothin' hotter than a Hot funny girl. Except a funny hot girl.

NO MYTH HE MEANS DOMINATING ALPHA LEAD! THE MEN WILL TREMBLE AND THEIR PENISES WILL SUCK UP INTO THEIR BODIES AND BECOME INNY PENISES!
