All your original Ghostbusters favourites will be appearing in Paul Feig's forthcoming reboot - with one notable exception.
Rick Moranis, who played Louis Tully in the '80s classics, has revealed that he turned down the chance to cameo in the comedy blockbuster.
Yes, Feig was able to snag the elusive Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts but not Moranis.
"I hope it's terrific," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "But it just makes no sense to me. Why would I do just one day of shooting on something I did 30 years ago?"
The Honey, I Shrunk the Kids star added that, despite an 18-year absence from the screen, he hasn't retired from acting. Instead, he took a break from Hollywood to raise his two children after his wife passed away in 1991.
"I'm interested in anything that I would find interesting," he said when asked about a comeback. "I still get the occasional query about a film or television role and as soon as one comes along that piques my interest, I'll probably do it. [But Ghostbusters] didn't appeal to me."
What to Read Next
Ghostbusters (sans Moranis) will return to the big screen with Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones in the lead roles.
An animated movie is also in the works with original director Ivan Reitman producing.
