Variety made huge changes to the announcement that Bridesmaids and The Heat director Paul Feig would be helming the next Ghostbusters.

Says the site, the movie is to be a total reboot, most likely with female characters played by comedic actresses in the ghostbusting roles.

The script is being written from scratch.

Feig has been in conversation with Sony to direct the project. However, no formal negotiations have taken place yet. Sony declined to comment.

Here’s a bit of history, with a potential bombshell: Ghostbusters 3 was initially supposed to be directed by Ivan Reitman, the director of the original Ghostbusters and its 1989 follow-up, Ghostbusters II, but he dropped out in March. It’s unclear whether another director will be chosen for that project or if this reboot will take its place. Does this mean multiple films?!

Men in Black 3 writer Etan Cohen was brought on broad in 2012 to redraft Ghostbusters 3. “The Office” scribes Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky were hired in 2008 to revive the blockbuster franchise.
