Rejoice, peasants: the long-awaited lineup of the upcoming all-female Ghostbusters remake has finally dropped, and boy is it a doozy.

“Melissa McCarthy, who was already in talks for one of the leads, has signed on for the Paul Feig-directed reboot, and the studio is now negotiating with Kristen Wiig, as well as Saturday Night Live players Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Very excited for the female Ghostbusters but even more excited for GAY CADDYSHACK.
