Will Bill Murray return for the next "Ghostbusters" movie which is envisioned as a total reboot with an all-female cast on the lead roles? According to Variety, Sony Pictures "would jump at the chance to sign Murray for either a cameo or supporting role."

Convincing the actor won't be easy though, since he has passed on numerous scripts for "Ghostbusters 3" in the past. The Oscar nominee, however, gave his approval for the plan to resurrect the franchise with an all-female cast.

The Dr. Peter Venkman depicter even named his dream cast to lead the project, endorsing Melissa McCarthy ("The Heat"), Kristen Wiig ("Bridesmaids"), Linda Cardellini ("Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed"), and Emma Stone ("The Amazing Spider-Man").

Editors' Pick

Paul Feig ("Bridesmaids", "The Heat") is confirmed to serve behind the lens and has enlisted "The Heat" scribe Katie Dippold to pen the screenplay. The plot is still under wraps, but the director teased, "It's not coming into the world that existed before."
