Paul Feig recently confirmed that he will direct "Ghostbusters 3" and the remake will star hilarious women. However, the "Bridesmaids" director still hasn't revealed who he has chosen to headline the movie. Bill Murray, who is included in the original cast of the two "Ghostbusters" film, dropped some names of actresses that he wanted to see in the reboot.

Included in his list are Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Emma Stone, Linda Cardellini, and Lena Dunham. Kristen Wiig and Emma Stone were quite flattered that they were mentioned by Bill Murray. However, Lena Dunham and Melissa McCarthy made fun of the idea.

During an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the stars of "Girls" and "The Heat" tried to clear out the rumors that they will be starring in "Ghostbusters 3". E! Online reported Dunham saying, "I have to say, since I've heard that rumor I think every lady in town who fancies herself a jokester wants in."

McCarthy was also at The Ellen Degeneres Show and she was teased by the 28-year old actress. Dunham told the 44-year old comedian, "I heard you're in Melissa." McCarthy replied, "I'm not in. I'm not in!" By the way the two reacted to the rumors; it seems that they are not that thrilled with the idea of being part of the "Ghostbusters 3" cast.

In a separate interview with the Today show, Melissa McCarthy revealed that there are no negations yet happening between her and the director. The comedienne said that she hasn't talked to director Paul Feig about starring in the reboot. UPI reported her saying, "No, we've not talked about it at all." She jokingly said, "I want to play a building in Ghostbusters, if he does it."

It is quite weird that Paul Feig hasn't mentioned anything to Melissa McCarthy because they have worked in several movies in the past such as "Bridesmaids" and "The Heat". She will also star in Feig's upcoming film called "Spy", which will be released in 2015.

Who do you think will Paul Feig choose for "Ghostbusters 3"?
