The all-female cast of the “Ghostbusters” reboot has reportedly been chosen. The Paul Feig reboot has been buzzed about for months and now The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Melissa McCarthy has officially signed on. (She was reportedly in negotiations earlier this month.) But that’s not all: According to THR, Kristen Wiig and “SNL” stars Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon are now in negotiations for their parts. The film is scheduled to start shooting this summer.

A third “Ghostbusters” project had been in development at Sony for years and original director Ivan Reitman had previously been attached. When “Ghostbusters” star Harold Ramis died last year, Reitman bowed out from directing duties.
