Apparently The X-Files star Gillian Anderson had no clue about Paul Feig‘s plans for an all-female Ghostbusters reboot, but after checking out the project, says she wants to star in the film. It all started when while speaking in a recent Reddit AMA, Gillian Anderson was asked if she was interested in the reboot.

OH MY GOD, I just looked it up online. Paul Feig, cast me now! Start a Twitter petition! I’m free!!!!! I’m free I’m free and I’m funny, goddamnit!…MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

My inner nerd loves the idea of Gillian Anderson appearing in a new GHOSTBUSTERS movie, however I still think an all-female team is unnecessary. It’s not like I’m a member of the “He-Man Woman Haters Club,” but I just don’t see why it can’t at least be a mixed gender team.

There have been recent talks of a third X-FILES movie, and Gillian Anderson was also asked to give an update on the project, however all she would say is, “Keep your ears to the ground.”

Do you think there’s a chance Gillian Anderson will end up playing one of the Ghostbusters in the reboot?
