After the pure delight that was the Reunited Apart Lord Of The Rings Zoom reunion, Josh Gad has done it again, gathering a good part of the original Ghostbusters cast for a socially distanced hangout. The call included Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, Annie Potts, Ivan Reitman, and Jason Reitman, who all proceeded to spill their guts on Ghostbusters secrets.

　　While the full half hour video is worth a watch, some of the highlights, as picked up by EW, include director Ivan Reitman talking about how many people had a fixation on adding dogs--like John Candy, who was originally offered the part of Louis Tully.

　　Now Playing: Ghostbusters: Afterlife - Official Trailer

　　"I sent the script, the very first script, to John who didn't really get it. He kept wanting to play him with a German accent with a couple of dogs, big German Shepherd dogs," Reitman explained. "I said, 'I think that'll be confusing given that dogs that are already on the roof. I don't think we can bring more dogs.'"

　　Sigourney Weaver also decided dogs would be a part of her role, albeit in a different way. "I was really willing to become a dog for the whole show," Weaver said, describing her audition for Reitman. "So he looked quite reluctant, I kept going and howling and growling."

　　Reitman added, "The wonderful thing Sigourney said at the audition was, 'You know, I read the script and it's very funny but really, my character should become a dog at some point.' And we didn't have that yet, it was Sigourney's idea."

　　Jason Reitman, Ivan's son, was also a part of the call, as he's set to be the director on the new Ghostbusters sequel, Ghostbusters: Afterlife. All of the cast included in the Zoom call will be returning for Afterlife, which will be releasing on March 5, 2021 after a COVID-19-related delay.
