Bill Murray is not only in favor of the rumored all-female reboot of his comedy classic film series "Ghostbuster," he, too, is generous in sharing his personal casting choices.
"I'm fine with it," Murray recently told Toronto Sun at the Toronto International Film Festival while promoting his new comedy-drama movie "St. Vincent." "I would go to that movie, and they'd probably have better outfits, too."
Though the 63-year-old actor was not involved in the project, he has some pretty good ideas when asked which actresses he would like to star in the reboot.
"Melissa would be a spectacular Ghostbuster," said the Oscar nominated-actor, referring to his "St. Vincent" co-star Melissa McCarthy.
"And Kristen Wiig is so funny," he added. "God, she's funny!"
"I like this girl Linda Cardellini a lot," continued the Wilmette, Illinois-born comedian, referring to the Emmy-nominated actress who played Sylvia Rosen, in the hit AMC period drama "Mad Men."
"And Emma Stone is funny," he said. "There are some funny girls out there."
Murray's personal picks may look random at first, but he may actually be suggesting something with his casting suggestion. Paul Feig, the director of the 2011 romantic comedy film "Bridesmaids," which starred both Wiig and McCarthy, is reportedly in talks to helm the next "Ghostbusters" installment, according to Huffington Post.
Ivan Reitman, director and producer of the first two "Ghostbusters" films, told HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri last week that he is quite sure that Feig will get land the job.
"I know that the studio is negotiating with Paul, and I think it's probably going to work out," revealed Reitman. "There were always going to be women involved in the next iteration of 'Ghostbusters.' Paul seems to be the perfect director to sort of bring that about."
But when McCarthy was asked Saturday, Sept. 6, if she would like to join the cast of a girl-centric "Ghostbusters," she said that she would not shrug off the idea, but said that she has not been tapped yet for the project.
"I think that somebody is really trying to do it, but nobody has talked to me about it," said the "Tammy" star. "Listen, if the people I think are doing it are doing it, I must never question them."
Though she is not certain on how would she feel of being a Ghostbuster, she does love the idea of working with other comediennes who are on the rumor list. These are Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Emily Blunt, Jenny Slate, Rebel Wilson and Maya Rudolph.
"Oh, my God, that's daunting. That's taking on a legend, a legendary movie. But I would do anything with those ladies, anything at all," said the 44-year-old actress.
Meanwhile, "St. Vincent" follows the story of St. Vincent de Van Nuys (Murray), a drunken, gambling war veteran retiree that gets hired by his new single-mom neighbor Maggie (McCarthy) to watch over her 12-year-old son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher). Vincent's ideas of after-school activities involve racetracks and strip clubs, but eventually the incompatible tandem starts to help each other grow up. The film is set to hit the theaters on Oct. 24, The Wrap reported.
