Ghostbusters reboot inspired by… The Walking Dead!?

“Spy” helmer Paul Feig was a guest on AMC’s “Talking Dead” this week, gushing about his love of “The Walking Dead”, and declaring the show to be somewhat of an inspiration for his upcoming “Ghostbusters” reboot.

“I will say, I was very inspired by this show”, Feig said. “What I love is how they play with the danger, they play with the scariness, but also the idea that it’s always about gauntlet run. And that’s something, an element I want to bring to this Ghostbusters reboot is having to get through these various obstacles that are supernatural and all that. I really feed off of The Walking Dead.”

We knew Feig was aiming to make a darker, scarier movie than the 1984 original.. but The Walking Dead!? It and “Ghostbusters” go together like Vegemite and soup!

“Ghostbusters”, out July 22, 2016, stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.
