'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig has revealed that the upcoming 'Ghostbusters' reboot is inspired from 'The Walking Dead'.

Speaking at a post-'Walking Dead' talk show 'Talking Dead', the director shared some info about what fans could expect from the untitled Ghostbusters reboot, reported Ace Showbiz.

"I will say, I was very inspired by this show," he said, as quoted by ComicBook.Com.

"What I love is how they play with the danger, they play with the scariness, but also the idea that it's always about gauntlet run. And that's something, an element I want to bring to this 'Ghostbusters' reboot is having to get through these various obstacles that are supernatural and all that. I really feed off of 'The Walking Dead'."
 

The upcoming 'Ghostbusters' movie is set for release on July 22, 2016. Feig will serve behind the lens in addition to co-writing the script with Katie Dippold. Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon are set to play the team members.
