Ghostbusters 3 director Paul Feig hinted at which Hollywood stars will make up the female cast of the classic movie remake, urging fans on Twitter to "save the date" of July 22, 2016.
Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones appear to be choices for the remake
Ghostbusters 3 director Paul Feig gave a Twitter hint at which Hollywood stars will make up the female cast of the classic movie remake.
Feig tweeted a photo Tuesday of these comedians:
- Melissa McCarthy.
- Kristen Wiig.
- Kate McKinnon.
- Leslie Jones.
A few hours later, he tweeted: "In other news, #Ghostbusters will be hitting theatres July 22, 2016. Save the date!"
In October, Feig said his remake will centre on a cast of "hilarious women." At the time, Bill Murray, who starred in the original film, suggested McCarthy and Wiig as options for female leads.
"Melissa [McCarthy] would be a spectacular Ghostbuster," Murray said. "And Kristen Wiig is so funny — God, she's funny."
Feig previously worked with McCarthy and Wiig, stars of Bridesmaids.
McKinnon and Jones are on TV's Saturday Night Live.
