Ghostbusters: Sigourney Weaver Has Joined the Reboot
The all-female Ghostbusters reboot cast its funny foursome a few months ago, and now some new cast members have joined the comedy. The movie, directed by Bridesmaids' Paul Feig, has added original cast members Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and more. Male cast members like Michael K. Williams will spar with the movie's four leads, anchored by Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy. Recently, we got a look at the set pictures, and Feig gave us some fun behind-the-scene shots, and honestly, the more we see and hear about this movie, the more we love it. See who's officially in the cast of the film, which comes out July 22, 2016.
