It's official - Paul Feig is making a new Ghostbusters film that will "star hilarious women".

Rumors have been circulating since August that there could be an all new Ghostbusters film and that it could be staring a female cast. It seems that those rumors may have just been confirmed.

Although this may not be the most popular decision it appears that it was true all along. Paul Feig tweeted the news today that he'll be making the new film and that it will "star hilarious women". This of course does not mean an all female cast but at the same time it doesn't not mean that. He also mentions that he'll be writing the script along with Katie Dippold (The Heat).

I am not yet sure how I feel about this myself but all the same it is out of my hands and it is happening. All we need now is the official word from Sony Pictures.

Are you excited for an all new Ghostbusters film? Do you like the idea of having an all female cast? Or possibly adding several females to the cast?

It's official. I'm making a new Ghostbusters & writing it with @katiedippold & yes, it will star hilarious women. That's who I'm gonna call.
