‘Ghostbusters’ Cast Announced: Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy And 'Saturday Night Live' Stand-Outs Lead All-Female Team

Paul Feig has called in an incredibly funny and talented line-up of actresses to star in his "Ghostbusters" reboot.

"Bridesmaids" co-stars Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy will team up with "Saturday Night Live's" Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones to form the next group of parapsychologists sent in to catch ghosts, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The four comedic stars are still in negotiations but are expected to sign on to reboot the classic '80s film. Production would start this summer in New York City.

Paul Feig signed on to direct the film last year when Ivan Reitman, who directed the first two films, dropped the project in the wake of Harold Ramis' death. The new director reconceived the reboot as an all-female vehicle.

Dan Aykroyd came up with the original concept for the first movie. He starred alongside Ramis, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson under Reitman's direction.
