'Ghostbusters' Reboot Female Cast and News: Bill Murray and Original Cast Reunite After 30 Years, Explain Why 'Ghostbusters 3' Never Happened [Pic]
The cast of "Ghostbusters" reunited for the cover of Entertainment Weekly's November issue.
The cover features stars Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, and Ernie Hudson. Writer and co-star Harold Ramis passed away in February and Rick Moranis did not participate, but the shoot did include director Ivan Reitman and actress Annie Potts.
The group also recently an interview with Al Roker for the "Today" show.
"Ghostbusters" premiered in 1984 and was followed by a sequel in 1989.
Murray joked that the money wasn't right for another movie with the original cast. He then offered his sincere reason for why a third movie never came together.
"It's really hard to recreate something that was so beautiful, so wonderful," he said.
However, Murray and company have a standing invitation from Paul Feig, who is rebooting the franchise with a female cast, to participate in the new film.
"Those are my comedy heroes," Feig told Entertainment Weekly in October. "So as far as I'm concerned, anybody wants to come back I welcome with open arms."
Weaver suggested two possible titles for the reboot: "Ghostbabes" and "Ghostbuster Babes."
The cast for the female-driven movie hasn't been announced yet, but a few women have expressed interest, including Lena Dunham, Mindy Kaling, Emma Stone and Melissa McCarthy.
Feig said the new "Ghostbusters" movies won't be related to the original franchise, as he doesn't want it to "ruin the memory" of those movies. That's why Feig thought his best option was to completely start over.
Seven other casts are reunited in the issue, including those of "Mean Girls", "Monty Python" and "Napoleon Dynamite."
Lindsay Lohan briefly talked about the Entertainment Weekly cover in September when she explained that she had pitched a "Mean Girls" sequel to Tina Fey. Her version of "Mean Girls 2" would feature the Plastics as cheating housewives.
