Chris Hemsworth Joins Paul Feig’s ‘Ghostbusters’
Director Paul Feig has taken to Twitter to announce that actor Chris Hemsworth has joined the cast of the upcoming Ghostbusters film, apparently in the role of the receptionist for the supernatural fighting foursome. He joins Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones, who will be the protagonists of the film.
According to Variety, Hemsworth was wanted for a role in the film from early stages. However, the initial part they had in mind was too small, according to the star. Since then, the script has been reworked and the part made more substantial.
Feig is directing the film based of a script written by him and Kate Dippold. Ivan Reitman is producing the film.
The film’s expected release date is July 22, 2016.

The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.

The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
