Ghostbusters reboot with all-female leads

[Adolfo]

Netflix for me. I was hoping for Seth Rogan, James Franco and friends to do this...I'm curious but no interest in spending money on this one. Just saw The interview on Netflix streaming and thought they woulda done a great job. Ghostbusters was a great guy buddy film. If this is a crazy budget it will IMHO flop...I think...who the hell knows nowadays

Is it wrong to want something terrible to happen to everyone involved with this POS?

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but is this idea of an all-female cast some fiendish trick to ensure any legitimate criticism of this pointless and unwanted reboot can be brushed off as the wailing of a group of sexist, misogynist dinosaurs?

Ghostbusters 2 already proved that Ghostbusters was a lightning-in-a-bottle thing, going back to tap the well again in today's risk-averse, creatively-bankrupt Hollywood system seems like a real exercise in futility.

Doing it just to fail? I think they've long accomplished before the cameras start rolling. I wouldn't be surprised if it's failure is blamed on sexism.

Slime is at least 50 percent high fructose corn syrup.

So no Rebel Wilson?

As bad as this is looking I would have been equally repulsed by Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and that whole crew being involved. Can't stand any of that crowd. The fan wank feedback on this makes me wonder why they bother, than I remember that hard core Ghostbuster's fans probably only account for 2% of the potential audience for this film. That is why studios seldom care about fan reaction to superhero costumes and such. Expectation is a very hard obstacle to compete with. I'm convinced this is why the Beatles never got back together before Lennon died. The could have got back together for one show, and if it was the best set they ever preformed together it would still get bashed. People built up in their minds an experience that the band would never be able to capture, because ever one had a different idea of what that perfect moment should be. People can blame Murray all they want for hamstringing GB3 years ago, but he was probably right to not be involved in something that wasn't good. GB3 likely would have been another Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull. An okay movie that was slammed by fans because it wasn't their vision of what a IJ movie should be.

Agreed add Paul Rudd to that mix

No surprises, no interest, I probably won't ever see it despite the original being my favorite movie. However, there is a possibility something positive will come out of this. Renewed attention to the franchise could mean new classic Ghostbusters merchandise/collectibles.

Consider yourself nominated for the greatest deployment of a Bill Murray gif.

That's what happened with RoboCop.

 

[Plastic Bateman]

That's what happened with RoboCop.

'Hey that remake was a bit **** wasn't it? Let us collectable companies rub salt in the film studio's wounds by reminding you how awesome the original was...'

 

[karamazov80]

That's what happened with RoboCop.

Yeah, I'm also hoping we get a bit of that with Mad Max.

 

[RIDDICK]

It's good for fans regardless.

 

[Rock83]

I remember reading about it,but never thought it would happen.I know it was difficult to bring back the old cast after harold Ramis got sick,but they should have just left this alone.
The entire thing smells like disaster.Melissa McCarthy is such a poor choice.Even as a comedian she's not funny at all.Im cool with kristen Wiig though.

 

[The Ween]

Actually, Melissa McCarthy actually fits better than the other 3. But it's not going to work no matter what women you put in there. It's just not going to work.

 

[The Ween]

So no Rebel Wilson?

I like her.......and I also like McCarthy, but not for this. Nope.
