'Ghostbusters' Cast Revealed

Who you gonna call? These four actresses.

Director Paul Feig is bringing the Ghostbusters back to theaters, but he's bringing the franchise back with twist: the team is all-female! Over the past several months, there's been plenty of rumors about who will put on a Proton Pack and trap some ghosts, but now the director is putting an end to the speculating by announcing the four leads! Ladies and gentlemen, meet your new Ghostbusters.

Apparently the studio is negotiating with the actresses, but considering the director tweeted this, it seems likely these four will be the stars. Even though these actresses are known for their work in comedy -- McKinnon and Jones are currently on SNL, Wiig's a former SNL member, and McCarthy has done plenty of comedy -- the director said he wants to make this one every bit as scary as it is funny. Maybe -- just maybe -- the return of the Ghostbusters will bring about the return of Ecto Cooler. Okay, probably not. If you feel like enjoying some Ghostbusters before the movie drops, we strongly recommend picking up the trades for the Mass Hysteria! story arc.

Paul Fieg is directing and he's working on the screenplay with Katie Dippold. So, what do you think of the cast, Viners?
