Hello, do I speak with Originality? Yes? Why did you leave Hollywood?

Lol.

I think it sucks, in all blunt honesty. As a lifelong fan of the Ghostbusters movies and Real Ghostbusters cartoon, I think it sucks dogshit, frankly. I think it's disrespectful to do a GB movie now, that Harold Ramis is dead. And what's worse, there are hints from Bill Murray that he might appear in it? To me, that is the height of bullshit, as it was him who held up "Ghostbusters 3" ever happening, because he's such a fucking pansy, and to me it would be a total slap in the face for him to finally consent to do a new movie, NOW that Ramis is gone.

I just think it sounds like a bad idea, and an insult to the originals. It's just a cheap, shitty cash-in, and of course, like almost every other cheap, shitty cash-in, whether it's a "remake", sequel, "reboot", whatever, people will probably go out in droves to see it, and it will be lauded for it's "girl power" bullshit angle that it's taking, with Melissa McCarthy in tow, I'm sure, because she is, after all, SO very funny.

I just don't like it. No sir.

This is the worst idea I've ever heard in my entire life.

If I had unlimited funds I would buy Sony just to make sure this film would never get made.

(Inserts snide joke about how it doesn't cost much to by Sony

gets banned)

That cartoon was SO good. I remember that I loved when I was a kid!

I think the problem some people have is that they could have made an original all female cast movie instead of taking a classic and turn it in a very obvious cash in reboot. I mean Bridesmaids did great at the box office and that was original why not go that route again... well cause brand value and recognition.

What made Ghostbusters good was the chemistry on the team, so it's not a bad idea to pursue it gender-flipped, as long as you have an EXCELLENT writer on board who gets how to write funny women as much as Reitman got a good performance out of Ramis, Murray, and Aykroyd.

The true sign will be if the new characters aren't slotted into the same character archetypes.

I think it could work with the right cast. I enjoy Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's work and there are some other funny women in the industry, so I think it could be done right. Will it? Most likely not by reasons beyond the gender of the cast.

There you go, make a movie called GIRL GHOST SQUAD or something, put that girl from Parks and Recreation, that gorgeous Nick and Norah woman and Emma Stone, there you go.
