Sony Looking At Bridesmaids Director Paul Feig To Helm Ghostbusters III

It will focus on female Ghostbusters...
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Sony is currently looking at Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat) to direct Ghostbusters III. No formal negotiations have started and there has to be a lot of details worked out before serious talks begin and Feig takes the job. He is currently their first choice for the reboot, which will focus on female Ghostbusters.
Ivan Reitman (1984's Ghotsbusters, 1989's Ghostbusters II) was previously attached but he left the project partially due to the death of Harold Ramis. It was rumored that Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (22 Jump Street) would direct but this turned out to be false. The original script was written by Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg (The Office, Bad Teacher), and has been revised since Ramis' death on February 24).
The story will introduce new Ghostbusters and may include some of the originals. Dan Aykroyd has said he would come back. Bill Murray has not agreed to return.

So I'm in the minority but I was looking forward to a third film IF AND ONLY IF all of the original cast were willing to return. For years, it seemed like the only holdup was Bill Murray. Even after names like Seth Rogen got thrown around, I was still somewhat interested in a third film with the original cast returning to "pass the torch".
Now, however, I'm done. With Harold Ramis dead and Ivan Reitman out what's the point? It also seems like Bill Murray is less interested than ever. My lack of interest has NOTHING to do with all female Ghostbusters. I don't care. What I do care about is Egon is dead, Peter won't be appearing and the original director isn't even interested any longer.
Please let this movie franchise die with Harold Ramis. They should do another video game or something if they want to take the franchise in a whole new direction. On PS4, it would actually be pretty cool. The last game was very well received. I see no point in doing another movie anymore though.
Thoughts?
