Jones joined the show last year and was quickly promoted to featured player status. She’s also part of the cast for Chris Rock’s latest film, Top Five, which arrives in the UK on March 13. Now... depending on where theyre going with the story, maybe Paul Rudd will jump aboard as Dan Barrett?�pic.twitter/LBtv2YXfv6— Paul Feig (@paulfeig) January 27, 2015 Feig and Heat writer Dippold have been busy working on the script for the new take on Ghostbusters, which features an all-female team, and is looking to have the cameras cranking this summer in New York. We talked to him about his plans for the film, which may or may not see cameos from surviving ‘busters Dan Aykroyd (himself long a champion of a third film or reboot and writer of several script attempts) and Ernie Hudson. We have doubts Bill Murray will show up, but perhaps they just need to throw a karaoke night and have him crash it… Brought to you by Empire Via I Love Movies #MovieNews #Movies #2014 #MovieReleases #Cinema
