7 Reasons Why The Ghostbusters Reboot Is Going To Be Awesome

Paul Feig 

When discussion of a Ghostbusters III began flying around yet again, there was some question about who would direct it. Of course, many of us hardcore fans wanted Ivan Reitman, who did the first two films, and for awhile it looked like he would take on the challenge. But with the new reboot came a new director, one peculiarly suited to fill Reitman’s shoes with this cast.

Paul Feig already has some excellent female-centric comedies under his belt, including working with McCarthy and Wiig in Bridesmaids, and with McCarthy again in the criminally underrated The Heat. The most attractive thing about Feig directing a new Ghostbusters? He’s not afraid to let very funny women do their thing without too much interference, and he respects his characters, regardless of gender.
