Feature Film Auditions, a site that has listing after listing for current movie casting, posted a call for Ghostbusters 3 principals and background actors last night! From the looks of it, this site is mostly a copy/paste job from some other, more official listing area. Enough work has gone into it that it seems legit. I've contacted the site's creator, Alan Baltes to see if we can get a source for his casting call.
Screen Rant picked it up next, their first breaking news Ghostbusters article. Props to them.
So here we are. We've never seen a story like this one before, more indications that Ghostbusters III is closer than ever. We seriously need an interviewer to get on Aykroyd about a production number when he starts doing rounds for Yogi Bear. Speaking of Yogi, Anna Faris, who plays beside Dan Aykroyd's animated Yogi Bear this Christmas, is named as a principle player! She also was in Ivan Reitman's "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" and Bill Murray's Lost in Translation, which strengthens her Ghostbusters connections significantly. Who knows where this information comes from just yet but this is worth getting excited about. In the wide world of hot girls, only a handful of them have the comedic chops that Faris has, and she would be a welcome addition to the team. Hopes are that she can take this a step past her slapstick roots. Comedic roles like this for women are all too far and inbetween. (Think of one movie Sarah Silverman could have starred in...)
MEANWHILE, want to BE in Ghostbusters 3???? Here's the information on where to submit!
You can bet that my fiance is sending her headshot tonight ;)
One more thing, the casting call in Chicago might mean that they are looking for Second City folk. Makes sense, right?
[UPDATE] Proton Charging points out that the listed casting director Richard Mento adds legitimacy to the posting, as he did casting for none other than Ivan Reitman's own No Strings Attached, coming in 2011.
