Dan Aykroyd will make you even MORE excited for the female 'Ghostbusters'
Who ya gonna call to talk about how you simply CANNOT wait for the all new Ghostbusters? Dan Aykroyd, of course!
The actor, who suited up as Dr. Raymond Stantz and co-created the 1984 original, sung the praises of the reboot starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones to Spinoff Online.
The interplay, and with each of them, their individual voices are so well defined. They’re just such different characters, and there’s a friction. There’s a dynamic there. I’m not going to spoil it for people, but it’s going to be big, big!
And Aykroyd was all about using girl power in this reboot, which he is executive producer of.
The thing is, you’ve got creators all around Hollywood who saw the thing at the original time and are going, "Wow, I think I’ve got a take on that. I think I could do something under that umbrella.” And so we’ve had brilliant creators walk in, from Paul Feig to many others. And we loved the concepts they’re coming up with. And this one with the four girls is going to be massive. Oh, man, it’s funny. It’s intelligent. It hits the right notes, and I’m really excited about it.
It refers to the first two in a really neat, classy way, but this is all going to introduce them to a whole new generation of girls that are going to want to be Ghostbusters. We always needed them.
As if we could be anymore excited right now, director Paul Feig just shared this diddy on Twitter.
That's right! The reboot starts filming TODAY!
