In a chat with the LA Times, Dan Aykroyd floated the idea that the upcoming Ghostbusters 3, still in development, could feature several new female recruits. His dream picks? Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku. Interesting — if not exactly out-of-the-box — thinking, Dan. But we’ve got a few ideas of our own…
Zoe Saldana (The Geek Queen)
Hot off of Star Trek, Saldana would would add some crackle to the cast of old-timers. And as a classically trained dancer, she’d probably look pretty great kicking ectoplasmic butt, too.
Emma Watson (The Touch of Class)
She’s had more than enough experience fighting supernatural bad guys in the Harry Potter Movies. Plus, a British accent would be the perfect foil for Aykroyd and Bill Murray’s midwestern whines.
Megan Fox (The Sexpot)
Let’s be honest — pretty much any movie in town would kill to get the foxy Transformers star (pictured). But wouldn’t we all love to see how she’d look in that brown jumpsuit?
Charlyne Yi (The Wild Card)
Michael Cera’s girlfriend — and co-star in the upcoming Paper Heart — doesn’t have a long resumé right now, but she does have just the right nerd-girl charm for the Ghostbuster crew. Hey, maybe Cera could even stop by for a cameo…
Those are our picks, PopWatchers. Yours?
Please, God – Anyone but the empty-headed Megan Fox.
I was thinking Rachel McAdams would make a great Ghostbuster

Yi! I love that idea.
Please not Megan Fox! She’s hot and all, but her acting skills make me cringe!
If Anne Hathaway would do it, she’d be perfect.
1. She’s funny
2. She can do action
3. They can pull out a “Hey Anne- you look white as a ghost!” joke
Stop with the Megan Fox nonsense. She is hot yes, keep her in magazines and Michael Bay fluff pieces. Keep her FAR AWAY from films that require acting. Emma Watson idea is interesting but too young maybe? Rachel McAdams?
Cloris Leachman all the way.
Interesting, that when picking male Ghostbusters, we go for funny, but when picking females, we go for hot. Ghostbusters is still a comedy, right?
Megan Fox…uh, no thank you.
Alison Janney. I don’t care if she’s nearly as old as the originals.
Alyson Hannigan. She’s geeky enough to be a convincing scientist, but also funny and cool.
Let’s not forget that the ‘Busters should be scientists. None of the above could pass for such. Some could barely pass for human.
Let us not forget Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist in Tomorrow Never Dies.
Kristen Bell has spunk & great comedic timing. She could hold her own in any Boy’s club movie.

Megan Fox for sure! I also vote for Shia LaBeouf to star as one of the new Ghostbuster too!!!
I think Eliza would be great actually. But I like the Kristen Bell idea.
