Ghostbusters to audition in Chicago

Given the Second City connections, Chicago improvisers probably have a leg up with casting for Ghostbusters 3. Auditions will take place in Chicago but I don't know when for sure.

The long awaited "Ghostbusters 3" is finally set to go into production early 2011. Initial casting for the film's main characters will take place in Los Angeles, and additional casting will be conducted in Chicago, where filming is to take place.

Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd will reprise their onscreen roles, as well as serve as executive producers and character writers. Academy Award nominated director Ivan Reitman will return to direct the third Ghostbusters film. In addition to directing the Ghostbusters movies, Reitman has also directed such films as Twins, Kindergarten Cop, Junior, Dave, Fathers' Day, Six Days Seven Nights, My Super Ex-Girlfriend. As a producer, Reitman has been involved throughout all phases of the filmmaking process in over 45 productions.
