Anna Faris may play a young Ghostbuster in Ghostbusters 3
The Australian site What's Playing discovered a casting call from Feature Film Auditions which notes that Anna Faris has signed onto play a young Ghostbuster in Ghostbusters 3.

The notice revealed that casting is currently under way to find more of the younger replacement Ghostbusters for the sequel. We reported in October that Dan Aykroyd was writing the script, which would feature new Ghostbusters being mentored by the original members of the team. We also reported a few weeks ago that Ghostbusters 3 will start shooting in May 2011, which was confirmed by this casting notice. The movie will be released in December of 2012.

What's Playing reached out to Sony for confirmation on Anna Faris' involvement, and while their source couldn't confirm her casting, Saturday Night Live actors Will Forte and Bill Hader were mentioned as possible Ghostbusters 3 actors.

Regardless, the casting for Ghostbusters 3 is currently happening and we'll be sure to keep you posted with any further details on this highly-anticipated project as soon as we have more information. You can Click Here! to read the full casting call for Ghostbusters 3.

Ghostbusters 3 is in development and stars Sigourney Weaver, Anna Faris, Eliza Dushku, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Annie Potts, Ernie Hudson. The film is directed by Ivan Reitman.

    oh and one more thing on casting i hope they dont just get actors that mimic the personalities of the veteran GB's let them have their own personalities or egos, or strengths or weaknesses, i dont want to feel ripped off having been waiting for this for 21 years now... jesus... 21 years! lol

    @bluedevil.... absoloutely agree with you... tina fey would be great in it, even if she was sarah palin..lol. but i think they need to direct there attention to snl alumni as well. especially maybe bill hader, it would only make sense.

    lol Well I don't think she's the best actress but I agree with you @Supes that with Aykroyd writing the script maybe something decent will come out of it.

    ELIZA ELIZA ELIZA long as she's not in a baggy uniform. Will settle for the cat suit from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

    A Dumb Ass Choice. This twit isn't funny or talented. Anna Farris should just be relegated to the SCARY MOVIES and not allowed anywhere near the GHOSTBUSTERS. I'm all for SNL alum being in this though... how about Tina Fey instead!

    I called this one a while ago. Like I said previously, it should be okay since she'll be around the true pro's and working from Aykroyd's script.
