I have for you the David Fincher mind-bender, thriller re-make of Ghostbusters. Its a film about a crack team of paranormal scientists who uncover the means to hunt down and capture ghosts and go to work to rid a grim New York City of them. It is already being hailed as the most twisted and frighteningly absorbing thriller of the year.

    Robert Downey Jr.    ...     Dr. Peter Venkman

    Brad Pitt (I'm sorry Adam)    ...     Dr. Raymond Stantz

    Edward Norton    ...     Dr. Egon Spengler   

    Forest Whitaker    ...     Winston Zeddmore 

    Helena Bonham Carter    ...     Dana Barrett 

    Kevin Spacey    ...     Louis Tully

    Gwyneth Paltrow    ...     Janine Melnitz

    Elias Koteas    ...     Walter Peck

    Brian Cox    ...     Mayor

    Jared Leto    ...     Male Student

    Natalie Portman    ...     Female Student

    Cate Blanchett    ...     Gozer 

    Meat Loaf     ...     Zuul / Slimer (voice) (uncredited)

I was going to do a comedy version as well but foxadam5 stole all of my best ideas right down to Neil Patrick Harris, Kal Penn, and Chris Meloni. It's like he read my mind.

Hehe, I like it. Casting Paltrow as the mousy, sarcastic secretary would definitely garner her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar.

Re:Recasting GHOSTBUSTERS (1984)

Ghostbusters remade as a college comedy romp about an unpopular fraternity made up of three nerdy parapsychology majors who discover ghosts on the campus of St. Swayze University. In their crusade to rid the school of the ghosts they uncover an ancient myth come to life that threatens to destroy the university and decimate their fraternity. Ghosts are busted, classes are cancelled, hilarity ensues.

When ghosts go to college, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters, in theatres now.

    Kal Penn    ...     Winston Zeddmore (The only visible minority student at the University who was actually willing to go through the ridiculous initiation)

    Mila Kunis    ...     Dana Barrett (The girl Peter falls for and leads to the discovery of the portal to another dimension)

    Anton Yelchin   ...     Louis Tully (Odd kid with an abnormally stalker-ish obsession with Dana Barret)

    Linda Cardellini (might be too old, but a man can dream)    ...     Janine Melnitz

    Nathan Fillion    ...     Walter Peck (The witty Janitor always stuck cleaning up after the ghostbusting escapades of our heros. He ain't happy about it.)

    Bill Murray (because he needs a place)    ...     The Dean (Mayor)

    Michael Cera    ...     Male Student

    Rachel Bilson    ...     Female Student

    Kristen Wiig    ...     Gozer
