The Ghostbusters franchise has always been tied to “Saturday Night Live,” and 2016’s reboot is certainly no exception. With three cast members already on board, it looks like another may soon be joining the mix. Read on for the latest!

Film Divider reports today that director Paul Feig has a role in mind for current “SNL” star Cecily Strong (below), which is being described as a key supporting role. No word yet on if the deal has been made official, but here’s what we do know.

According to the site, Strong’s role would be one of the biggest non-Ghostbuster parts aside from the villain (potentially being played by Peter Dinklage). She’s an authority figure who liaises with our heroines, privately backing their activities and acknowledging their legitimacy but publicly denouncing the group to the media in order to avoid panic amongst the wider populous.

Ghostbusters is set for release on July 22, 2016. The new cast includes Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones.

Scarred For Life
Episode 267: The Legendary John Harrison and The Haunting (1963)
This week we chat with filmmaker, producer, composer, writer, author...this guy's done it all...John Harrison. From working with George Romero on everything from Creepshow and Dawn of the Dead to Tales from the Darkside to the Dune miniseries to his Netflix series Residue...he's done it all. He even directed Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, which was Andrew LaSane's Scarred for Life pick, which is one of Terry's favorite movies. We chat about his long history in cinema; about how he started working with Romero to some insights into Tales from the Darkside. And we discuss his latest work, the novel Residue: Paramentals Rising, which is a sequel to the Netflix show. After learning about his horror history--including a memorable viewing of Night of the Living Dead--we find out why The Haunting terrified him as a twelve year old. John references an article written by Anthony McKay in Little Shoppe of Horrors, which can be ordered here.
