And the cameos continue. AICN reports that the actress who played the original film’s receptionist Janine, Annie Potts, has joined the cast of Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters. I know… you can barely contain yourself, right?
The site goes on to report that additional filming is being done at the original Ghostbusters firehouse!
Potts (pictured) joins original stars Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, and Dan Aykroyd – and the original firehouse apparently – on the list of names that have been confirmed to have a cameo.
In the Paul Feig-directed Ghostbusters, Melissa McCarthy is Abby Yates, Kristen Wiig is Erin Gilbert, Leslie Jones is Patty Tolan, and Kate McKinnon is Jillian Holtzmann.
Wiig and McCarthy play a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real. Flash-forward a few years and Wiig lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia U. Which is pretty sweet, until her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia. Wiig reunites with McCarthy and the other two proton pack-packing phantom wranglers, and she gets some sweet revenge when ghosts invade Manhattan and she and her team have to save the world.
The Ghostbusters reboot will haunt the big screen on July 15, 2016.
