Except, you know, Eliza on Twitter saying: "Ghost-rumor-buster in a big way ... it's nuthin' I know of."

I just hope they give the original cast a lot of screentime, seeing it will probably be the last time they show up in a Ghostbusters movie, and that the young actors don't try to outshine them.
Set them up for introduction and all that but give the fab ghostbusting four their farewell.
After that you can make some kind of spin-off with the new cast.

Does Dushka do comedy? Then again Weaver wasn't in my sights as a comic actor until Ghostbusters.

RE: "Does Dushka do comedy?" Duh! Did you not see Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back?

Even if Dushku didn't do comedy before, now would be the time. Actors(tresses) cannot afford to be limited to one type of acting anymore. That is seen as aloof, complacent and we really need perfomers that are multi talented so that we don't keep seeing the same faces over and over for a particular genre. Besides didn't she have some comedy scenes in Tru Calling? I wonder if Annie Potts will be back as Janine. After all she kept the place in order.

Wow, SciFiWire can censor the whle internet? POWER!
I like Dushku so I'm looking forward to seeing her. Big GB fan too and really hope the oiginal team gets plenty of screen time.
Also hope Anie Potts comes back! Janine is such a fun character!

Having more than one female or all female Ghostbusters to pass down the torch would destroy the Ghostbusters Franchise. That’s like making the next franchise of Charles Angles or Sex in the City all men. With all the feminizing going on in entertainment today, this would just add to the torture. I’m having a hard time accepting new male Ghostbusters. I wish they would all just strap up one more time. Them being too old is just ageism! If they do past the torch to the next generation, I would suggest only having one female Ghostbuster.
I can see why Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis would want to add female Ghostbusters today. Dan Aykroyd has raised three daughters, Harold Ramis’ wife is a feminist and he has a daughter. Research shows that men with daughters are widely opened to feminism, Which is not bad, but some men over sympathize with it to the point they become extremist.
This movie would be a disaster.
