Movies: Paul Rudd is in the New "Ghostbusters" Movie 

Paul Rudd is in the New "Ghostbusters" Movie 

The new"Ghostbusters" just became a MUST-SEE movie as far as I'm concerned . . . because PAUL RUDDis in it.

He posted a video yesterday in front of the infamous Ghostbusters firehouse in New York City, and said that when he heard he got the part, quote, "I nearly slimed myself . . . In fact I'm sliming myself right now."

Paul will play a "small-town teacher," and that's about all anyone's saying at this point. He's joining two other Marvel stars . . . although they're not quite at the Ant-Man level.

MCKENNA GRACE played the younger version of the title character in"Captain Marvel", and CARRIE COON was Proxima Midnight in the last two"Avengers"movies. She was one of Thanos' goons.

The new"Ghostbusters"also stars FINN WOLFHARD from"Stranger Things" and"It".

This is a direct sequel to the"Ghostbusters"movies from the '80s, and it'll most likely include appearances by the original cast, including SIGOURNEY WEAVER, DAN AYKROYD, and BILL MURRAY.
