DS Fantasies: The new 'Ghostbusters'

Earlier this month, Dan Aykroyd confirmed the news that every '80s kid has been waiting to hear for 20 years - there's going to be a third Ghostbusters! After years of rumours that Aykroyd was sitting on a script, he's revealed that the sequel will focus on a "new generation" of 'Busters. So who can possibly fill those hefty boots of Venkman, Stantz, Zeddemore and Spengler? DS has picked out the stars we'd like to see "cross the streams" in the third movie.

Vince Vaughn
Vaughn's recent turns in tacky festive frolics Four Christmases and Fred Claus may prompt many to sneer at the suggestion he deserves a crack at the legendary comedy franchise. However, we reckon Vaughn's lackadaisical approach to life would make him the perfect man to take over the baton from Dr Venkman. The 6ft5 comic's legendary wise-cracking roles in Swingers, Dodgeball and Old School more than make up for his recent indiscretions in our eyes. Anyway, even the legendary Billy Murray has some turkeys in his locker (*cough* Garfield *cough*).

John Krasinski
Vaughn would bring in the box office bucks, so for our second choice we've gone for a less well known name with the American Office's John Krasinski a.k.a. Jim Halpert. Krasinski has a habit of stealing the show from Steve Carrell in Scranton, Pennsylvania, so why not have him duelling with Aykroyd for the bumbling nice guy role? He's not a bad bet for the job either, with Office scribes Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg signed up to pen the third flick. We reckon he'd look pretty dashing with a Proton Pack at the head of the Ectomobile as well.

Rhys Darby
Like Vaughn, he may have damaged his credibility with a recent outing (Richard Curtis's The Boat That Rocked has a lot to answer for), but we're choosing to focus instead on the New Zealand stand-up comic's performance as the bumbling music manager Murray Hewitt in HBO's Flight Of The Conchords. We'd love to see him try to helm the Ghostbusters gang in the style of one of his legendary band meetings and we reckon he'd provide a good funnyman ying to Vaughn and Krasinki's straight-men yang.

Tina Fey
Bill Murray said in a recent interview that he'd love to see some female Ghostbusters, so who are we to argue with the great man? And who better to bring some estrogen to the world of Ghostbusting than 30 Rock's Liz Lemon, the world's finest Sarah Palin impersonator and SNL legend Tina Fey? While American TV's hottest comedy talent has little big screen experience, we're more than confident that she could hold her own when the ectoplasm begins to fly.

Who do you think should star in the new Ghostbusters? Would you have Judd Apatow or Ben Stiller's gang, or maybe you think the '80s classic should be left alone? Post your views below!
