The queen of sci-fi movies Sigourney Weaver has just expressed interest to cameo in the rebooted all-female Ghostbusters.
Weaver was part of the original Ghostbusters movie, and she loved being in it so much that she wants to appear in the new film.
She told Screen Rant that she is pretty excited what the new Ghostbusters film has to offer. "I think that's awesome. I think it's great. I think it's going to be fantastic. I can't wait to see it," she said.
When asked what role she would like to play in the rebooted film, Weaver had a hilarious suggestion. "They might have us pop up as marshmallow men or something and then destroy us. I don't know. I hope they will think of some silly way for us to be in it. Maybe I could play that ancient librarian who goes makes noise," she shared.
The all-men Ghostbusters will not be making cameos in the new movie, and even the director is different. This time, it will be handled by Paul Feig and will star Bridesmaid actresses Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, as well as Saturday Night Live regulars Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon.
Feig has said that the new Ghostbusters will be an entirely different movie from the original one, and will not continue its story. So Weaver's potential cameo might not come to life.
The actress played Dana Barrett in the original film, considered by many as the most important character who is not actually part of the Ghostbusters team. She was a concerned mother fighting for the life of her child, and was also Dr. Peter Venkman's love interest.
Feig also said earlier that he took a lot of inspiration from The Walking Dead television series and much like a zombie, even "feed off" from the series.
"What I love is how they play with the danger, they play with the scariness, but also the idea that it's always about gauntlet run," he said.
And while the scare and gore factor of The Walking Dead will be found in the new Ghostbusters film, Feig will still try to make things acceptable for family viewing.
"The reason I do a lot of R-rated comedies is that you want a movie to feel honest," explained Feig. "But the Ghostbusters world doesn't need that level of swearing. We'll have to be PG-13 with this one. I would like to make it R-rated, but I won't. You want the biggest number of people to watch it and not be put off by it."
