Sigourney Weaver will appear in Paul Feig's Ghostbusters reboot

Anticipation is already high for director Paul Feig’s forthcoming female-led Ghostbusters reboot – but fans of the original 1980 movie will be delighted by the director’s latest announcement.

Sigourney Weaver, who played Dana Barrett in Ghostbusters and in 1989’s Ghostbusters 2, will be appearing in the new film, Feig revealed via Twitter today.

“Gang, trying to keep surprises but this is about to leak, so I'll tell you myself: the awesome Sigourney Weaver is going to be in our movie!” he said.

Filming for the reboot, which stars Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones as the four Ghostbusters, and Chris Hemsworth as their secretary Kevin, finished earlier this year.

Original cast members Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts all have cameo roles in the film, meaning that all of the surviving main actors will now be reunited in the new film. Harold Ramis, who played Ghostbuster Dr Egon Spengler and co-wrote the film with Aykroyd, died in 2014.

It's currently unclear whether or not Weaver will be reprising her original role, or playing a brand new character.

Earlier this year, Weaver joked that she would only appear in the film if one very particular condition was fulfilled.

"I offered when I met [Feig]... at the Saturday Night Live reunion," she told Digital Spy back in March. "He said, 'We'd love to have you in it'. I said, 'Well, only if I can play Slimer'. He said he didn't think that would work out."

Injured man charged with Cairns murder

A man who was found bloodied and injured at his Cairns home has been charged with stabbing his partner to death.

The 47-year-old is facing one charge of murder after police found the body of his partner, Crystal Ratcliffe, at their Woree home last Thursday.

The accused also had life-threatening stab wounds and was revived by paramedics before being taken to the Cairns Hospital, where he's still being treated.

He'll face a bedside hearing on Tuesday, accused of killing his 38-year-old partner.

It's been reported the pair had two children, who arrived home from school last week to find the Woree property taped off and police combing the scene.

The community is rallying around the couple's teenage son and daughter, with a fundraising drive so far generating more than $2000.

Kangaroos Rugby League Club coach Jim Millar, who coached the son, says the siblings need all the help they can get.

"Being only 16 & 13 years old they are going to require support from the community to ensure their needs are cared for," he writes on the mycause.com.au page.

"There has been an outpouring of grief for Cyrstal and great emotional support for these two kids. It's time to dig deep to for these two wonderful children."
