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.

Kristen Wiig:

Leslie Jones:

People are excited.

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