The 'Lost In Translation' actor - who was an original Ghostbuster alongside Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis in the 1980s movies - said that he would like to see the 'Tammy' star appear in a female-led sequel to the film, along with fellow 'Bridesmaids' actress Kristen Wiig.

Michael Bay says the great cars he got to use in 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' was the "coolest" thing about making the movie.
The 49-year-old director has worked on all four films in the robot franchise, and the petrol head always got excited when a new vehicle would be delivered to the set
He explained: "One of the coolest things about doing the 'Transformers' movies is car companies see the value in having their new cars in the film.
"So, they'd literally fly their new cars from car shows in Europe or wherever to my office. Bugatti, Mercedes, Chevy, Lamborghini. They all wanted to be part of this franchise."
Despite receiving the sought-after automobiles, the filmmaker admitted he did consider leaving the franchise after 2011's 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon', when Shia LaBeouf revealed he would not be returning for another movie. However, the movie maker was tempted back when 'Ted' star Mark Wahlberg - who he worked with on the 2013 crime comedy 'Pain & Gain' - expressed an interest in the film.
When questioned on whether he contemplated quitting, he said: "I did think about it, but I came to the conclusion I didn't want to hand it off to somebody else.
"The franchise has a big, loyal audience all around the world. We started working on the script and I worked with Mark on 'Pain & Gain' and it was great fun. When Mark showed interest in doing a Transformers film it got me."
The acclaimed director - who previously worked on 'Armageddon' and 'Pearl Harbor' - also confessed the studio was not sure about the 43-year-old star featuring in the film, as they thought a younger protagonist may be more suitable.
He said: "Yes there was [talks of using a younger actor]. The studio suggested that, but I liked the father-daughter story and my experience with Mark on 'Pain & Gain' was so good it seemed like a natural fit."
'Transformers: Age of Extinction' is out on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Download now

Steve McQueen is working on a biopic about Paul Robeson.
The American star rose to fame in the 1920s as a singer and actor, and soon became involved in the US Civil Rights movement and director McQueen is now going to bring his story to the big screen.
Speaking at the Hidden Heroes awards in New York, he said: "His life and legacy was the film I wanted to make the second after 'Hunger'
"But I didn't have the power, I didn't have the juice."
Throughout his career the actor campaigned against racism and took part in anti-Nazi demonstrations and even supported the miners' strike in South Wales between 1984 and 1985.
Later in his career, Paul was branded a communist by President McCarthy which ended his career as a performer and led to him losing his passport.
Inspired by the man as a teenager, McQueen, 45, recalled the moment a neighbour gave him a newspaper cutting when he was 14 about Robeson.
He recalled: "It was about this black guy who was in Wales and was singing with these miners.
"I was about 14 years old, and not knowing who Paul Robeson was, this black American in Wales, it seemed strange. So then, of course, I just found out that this man was an incredible human being."
At the event, the '12 Years a Slave' creator also revealed Robeson's friend, singer/songwriter Harry Belafonte, will feature in the film.
Speaking of the 'Day O' singer, McQueen said: "We get on like a house on fire. I never thought I'd make a new friend, and a man who is 87 years old but I'm very happy, he's a beautiful man."

Paul Walker's brothers are "chipped from the same brick".
The siblings of the late actor - who was killed in a car accident last November, aged 40 - stepped in to replace the star in the seventh instalment of the 'Fast & Furious' franchise following his death, with his dad, Paul Walker III, claiming they were the obvious choice to do their brother justice because they are so similar.
Discussing the conversations between him and his sons Caleb and Cody Walker, he admitted: "They said, 'Dad, these people really loved Paul!' And I said, 'Yeah, now they love you. You're the same,'
"They're the same as Paul. They're all chipped from the same brick."
Paul - who starred as Brian O'Conner in the franchise - had featured in all six films as well as parts of the seventh, with his father revealing he often told stories about the cast and crew including Michelle Rodriguez and Vin Diesel, who he had grown close to since the first movie was released in 2001.
He said: "Michelle Rodriguez he said was the most fun person to go out on the town with,"
Talking to ETOnline, he added: "I don't think Vin realized how highly Paul thought of him,"
'Furious 7' will be released in cinemas in April 2015.

Natalie Dormer has praised Jennifer Lawrence for keeping everyone's spirits up while filming 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1'.
The 32-year-old actress - who plays Cressida in the dsytopian film series - was full of good things to say about her co-star Jennifer, 24, and the film's director Francis Lawrence, 43, as she revealed that the pair stopped the cast and crew from feeling homesick during their long shoots.
Natalie shared: "It's important on nine-month shoot. Everyone is homesick and the energy always filters down from the top. So to have two such happy, positive people in Francis and Jennifer was to everyone's benefit."
The blonde beauty also admitted that hanging out with Jen and their male co-stars Josh Hutcherson, 22, and Liam Hemsworth, 24, had led to some tomfoolery on set.
She told the Metro newspaper: "It was a blast on set. When Jen and Josh are together, things get raucous. And with Liam.
"Jen and I hadn't met before. She is so talented. Everything you hear about her being grounded and fun is true."
Natalie - who hails from Reading, England - explained that she was happy to spend time with the 28-year-old Suffolk-born actor Sam Claflin, who plays Finnick Odair in 'The Hunger Games' franchise.
She joked: "It was certainly nice to have another Brit on set. You can talk about the biscuits you're missing, like bourbons and KitKats."
