The debut of the Ghostbusters reboot is a mere seven months
away and writer/director Paul Feig is reticent to give away any details
on the project. Yes, it’s an all-female cast starring four of today’s
funniest female comedians. Yes, the original heroes — Dan Akyroyd, Bill
Murray, Ernie Hudson — are back in cameo roles, as is the film’s
original love-interest-turned demonically-possessed temptress, Sigourney
Weaver. Yes, the ECTO-1, the proton packs, and the original Ghostbuster
logo will also make a return. But after that, it’s a whole new world.
Feig calls Wiig’s character, Erin Gilbert, “Particle physicist,
academic firebrand, spectral warrior.” Little else is known about her
character except she enjoys battling the ethereal and likely doesn’t
have much of a social life.
