As someone who genuinely feels the over feminisations of todays media is one of the reasons movies today suck... this is the worst possible news I could have heard about one of my favourite franchises.

Those bridesmaid/melissa mcarthy type movies are just not funny, not one bit. How the the hell did the studios thought this would be a good idea.

Box office was 10x the budget

I agree it's not hugely funny, but it seems to sell reasonably well. I have personally accidentely watched it 3 times... It's watchable, even if it's not something I'd choose to watch. It's probably not offensive enough to get off a comfy sofa to avoid

Another victim of the politically correct crowd with the help of femmenazi hollyweird.

It should be left alone. period.



 

WOW, the responses here...

So essentially; Women cannot be funny, or poke fun at themselves or appeal to a non-female demographics.

Equally; An all male cast is normal, doesn't even get questioned, it fits the characters, its the default. An all female cast= Feminist Agenda.

I have no hopes of the film being good til I get a good look at the writers and director but still, y'all are evidence for why there needs to be an active push bring gender equality.

Ghostbusters 2 was such a mistake they should see you won't be able to recreate the magic


It quite easily lends itself to a reboot, unlike some films the concept could lend itself to countless sequels (not saying there should be) and the orginal film is dated enough to be completely ignored by todays generation.

Probably will be shit though.



The all female cast isn't really an issue imo, I don't agree with the casting suggestions though. And to whomever suggested Rogen, Franco etc; another Apatow-ish samey-samey porridge with gay innuendo and chummy-chum dialogue out of a hazy bachelor party? No thanks, besides the annual Will Ferrell releases this appears to be one out of two recipes Hollywood "comedy" resorts to today.

I have to agree with the consensus here though; this will likely be a shit movie regardless.

Well if you can't have the original cast, gender flipping is a good way of avoiding unfair comparisons in the performances. If you tried to recast the same characters with modern actors it would just feel like a pale imitation. By completely flipping the cast you can at least approach it from a new direction and try and do something fresh with the concept. 

You do realise that they can change the characters rather than imitating them, right? They can be male, but different.

My argument is that having some women in the team makes sense, but having all-women seems like they're trying to make a feminist statement rather than a movie (note: this wouldn't be true if they were simply making a completely different movie with the same basic theme - the issue here is that it's a "Ghostbusters").

Other than that, in my opinion, this is just another example of hollywood having lost the ability to be creative - they insist on remaking/rebooting movie after movie, instead of coming up with genuinely new ideas.



I want to punch someone in the face.

2 was OK, would be considered a masterpiece if this all female reboot gets made...



Is this backed by some feminist group? Because I see no point in an all-female ghostbusters team. Its like an all female Ninja Turtles or all female Black Hawk Down or Saving Private Ryan. It just doesnt fit.

OR like an all-male girls club or Bring it on!
Ah well whatever we have a shitty Turles movie with 4 times SHREK being the main character  people just have no respect for legacies and our childhoods.
