Ghostbusters reboot with all-female leads

[greygoose]

This really does get worse day by day.

ugh it's official

Rebel Wilson Has Met for Ghostbusters Role - ComingSoon.net

About damn time.

Rebel Wilson isn't funny. To me, if this is the kind of "talent" they're looking for, then this is really just a bad spoof on GB and not an actual movie.

I guess they're going for flash in the pan casting. This might make Fantastic Four Oscar worthy.

Tatum, Pratt and the Russo Bros. in a spin off?

Exclusive: Sony Emails Reveal Channing Tatum and Chris Pratt

Now, emails uncovered by The Daily Beast have revealed that Sony and one of the studio’s biggest stars, Channing Tatum, are planning a Ghostbusters spin-off film starring pals Tatum and Chris Pratt. The two appeared in the 2012 movie 10 Years together, which was produced by Tatum as a starring vehicle for his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, and Tatum has a longstanding relationship with the studio, with the 21 Jump Street franchise and the recent Foxcatcher, the latter for indie shingle Sony Pictures Classics. Pratt, of course, just exploded with Guardians of the Galaxy and the upcoming lead in Jurassic World.

An email from Tatum to Pascal concerning Ghostbusters dated August 21 says, “Let us show the world The DarkSide and let us fight it with all the glory and epicness of a HUGE BATMAN BEGINS MOVIE. I know we can make this a huge franchise. Fun adventure craziness. COME OONNNN!!!”

The following day, an email from Hannah Minghella, co-president of production for Columbia Pictures, to Pascal and a team of Sony execs outlines Tatum’s plan: to star in a Ghostbusters spin-off film with Chris Pratt produced by the Russo brothers, who helmed Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

“So… in a curious turn of events - the Russos and Channing want to develop Ghostbusters as a vehicle for Channing and Chris Pratt to do together,” wrote Minghella. “The Russos, Channing and Reid have been brainstorming ideas and want to create a whole new mythology that would support multiple movies (the way that Nolan reinvented Batman). To be clear - the Russos want to produce (not direct) and while Channing and Chris are looking for a movie to do together they haven't mentioned this to him yet because they weren't sure how we'd react.”

Minghella adds, “They want to make it simultaneously super scary while also super funny. They love the idea that they are mortal heroes who are believers in the paranormal and the only people who can defend mankind from a paranormal threat. I know we're mid negotiations with Paul [Feig]. I'm not sure whether we'd ever develop two different versions simultaneously. Joe Russo is open to the idea that both movies could be developed in partnership so they compliment one another within the same Ghostbusters universe. Apparently the Russos are very close to Paul and Joe suggested Paul could be attached to direct both. Personally I think it's possible for the female version to co-exist with this other version so maybe they're not mutually exclusive.”

specially if she is going to do one of her accents..... so annoying

You do know that Rebel is a Kiwi and that the accent is real.........................................................................right?

(in the camp who thinks she's funny as hell)

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

the funny thing is that all they have to do is paint her green and they are done

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Rebel Wilson's casting now makes this a must-see.

 

[Khev]

Maybe one of the ghostbusters will try not to think of her and make her appear at the end.

Pratt and Tatum would actually be a good buddy-cop duo but its been done already with Tatum and Hill. I could see Pratt, Tatum, Donald Glover, and a fourth guy I can't think of right now in a GB movie.

That rumor screams like the studio's attempt to save some of the fans that have jumped ship from the all-female reboot.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Wait until we get a James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson GB reboot.

 

[Khev]

It's going to be stupid if they build a new Ghostbusters team with four "Bill Murrays." You need a straight man or two.

I would rather have that

Zach Quinto or Steven Yeun for Egon or the Egon-type then.

none of these announcements/leaks fill me with any real hope but has made me wonder about who i would cast for a reboot/sequel.

Obviously there would be room for all of the originals, but i quite like the idea of Christopher Waltz (quirky, mesmerising and adds gravitas), Owen Wilson, (easy talking ladies man), Simon Pegg (geek), and maybe someone like Chris Pratt as the 'main guy' a la Murray.

I'd consider having Gillian Anderson on the team, maybe heading up a Research and Resources Dept. (along with Egon and Ray would obviously have been ideal), I guess acting as the GB equivalent of Q, but in a larger capacity. That would allow the GB's to concentrate on busting ghosts.

Id want to watch believable characters rather than just todays popular comedians playing it for laughs. Ghostbusters is more than that. Leave them for a cameo or 2

 

[YankeesFanboy]

that would be amazing, so amazing they will never consider casting quality guys like that.


i dont understand why the new GB need to be so young now that i think about it

Youth must be served. Especially when it comes to Tinseltown.

Why couldn't North Korea be upset about this movie and force theatres to not show it?
