With Bridesmaids and The Heat, Paul Feig has carved a very lucrative niche for himself as Hollywood’s go-to director for female-focused comedies. Now, he may be bringing his roster of funny ladies to one of the most iconic franchises of the last 30 years.

“It’s official,” he tweeted on Wednesday afternoon. “I’m making a new Ghostbusters & writing it with @katiedippold & yes, it will star hilarious women. That’s who I’m gonna call.”

The great irony here is that there was a very successful “The Real Ghost Busters” animated series, with really good writing

I can also recommend the recent Ghostbusters video game, which featured a script by Akroyd & Ramis. The story takes place in the early 90s and would have made a good Ghostbusters 3 movie.

This is satire right? Please tell me they are not about to politically correctify ghostbusters? Will it have transqueer ghosts?!
