A female-driven "Ghostbusters" reboot is happening!

Paul Feig took Twitter, Wednesday, Oct. 8, to announce that he is directing the reboot and will co-write the script with Katie Dippold.

"It's official. I'm making a new Ghostbusters & writing it with@katiedippold & yes, it will star hilarious women. That's who I'm gonna call," tweeted the 52-year-old "Bridesmaids" director.

This won't be the first time Feig and Dippold are collaborating. Dippold wrote the 2013 female buddy action comedy "The Heat," which Feig directed.

The film was initially intended to be "Ghostbusters 3" with the intent to bring back the original cast (Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis), but script setbacks, Ramis' death and Ivan Reitman's exit from the project as director eventually turned the sequel into a complete reboot, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Feig and his Feigco Entertainment partner Jessie Henderson will executive produce. Reitman will also produce.

While promoting his new comedy-drama movie "St. Vincent" at the Toronto International Film Festival last month, Murray told Toronto Sun that he is in favor of the then-rumored female-driven reboot of his comedy classic film series.

"I'm fine with it," the 64-year-old actor said." "I would go to that movie, and they'd probably have better outfits, too."

Murray, who plays Dr. Peter Venkman in the first two films, was also generous in sharing his personal casting choices.

"Melissa would be a spectacular Ghostbuster," said the Oscar nominated-actor, referring to his "St. Vincent" co-star Melissa McCarthy.

"And Kristen Wiig is so funny," he added. "God, she's funny!"

"I like this girl Linda Cardellini a lot," continued the Wilmette, Illinois-born comedian, referring to the  Emmy-nominated actress who played Sylvia Rosen, in the hit AMC period drama "Mad Men."

"And Emma Stone is funny," he said. "There are some funny girls out there."

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Feig said that Murray's personal choices definitely make an "awesome" cast, but he said that there are other funny actresses out there that could star in the reboot.

"For me there's so many ways I can go with this because there are so many funny women that's going to be the hardest thing to narrow down is who to put in," he said. "I've got a lot of ideas on that but nobody set in stone. That's part of the fun for me is figuring out what's the best combo, what's going to be relevant and fun. Bottom line: I just want the best, funniest cast."
