Yet another fire to put out this morning as we finally found something online debunking the hilariously ridiculous rumor that all four original Ghostbusters would be joining the Apatow crew for a reboot of the franchise. We couldn't stop laughing when this news hit the web as we were openly joking about this at the San Diego Comic Con and somehow it ended up online (the main reason why we didn't report it). Even though you have to admit it's a good idea, it's pretty unlikely that a studio could afford the salaries of eight big names in one film, especially when Murray was holding back the sequel all these years. Inside you can read Paul Rudd's hilarious reaction to the news.
"MTV: Have you heard about the rumor recently that you'd star in a new "Ghostbusters" movie along with Seth Rogen, Steve Carell and Romany Malco?
Rudd: I've heard this rumor. A couple of days ago somebody asked me that, and that was the first I'd heard about it. It's incredibly flattering to be in a rumor. I would do it in a second with those guys. But do you think it's a good idea to redo "Ghostbusters"? It's a classic.
MTV: Even if it's a rumor, it's a nice quartet of actors.
Rudd: [Sarcastically] I am really excited about it.
MTV: We've green-lit it right here.
Rudd: Excellent. When do we start shooting?
MTV: Are you going to do the Bill Murray role or Dan Aykroyd's, or perhaps Rick Moranis?
Rudd: I'd like to be Sigourney Weaver. Or maybe we can mix in the sequel and I can do a Peter MacNicol thing. I remember thinking, "That's the same guy from 'Sophie's Choice.' " It seemed so weird.
Well I was Kind of hoping for Bruce Campbell as Peter, Jack Black as Rey, Paul Rudd as Egon and Wesley Snipes as Winston.
You don't know if I'm serious or joking...
Rudd is a funny guy; I would love to see them cast as the new guys.
