Ghostbusters the reboot (2015)

[Edward J Grug III]

This is the first bit of news that makes GB3 sound like it could potentially be good in the history of the idea of GB3.

I find this more of a positive thing than the female cast itself. More good female writers is sorely lacking in Hollywood.
That being said, Twilight was written by a woman, primary female character, and the first movie was directed by a woman, and it's script was written by a woman. So it's not exactly a guarantee of quality.

No, of course not, but for every Twilight example, you could name a hundred movies written by, directed by, starring dudes that stink too!

I would love to see GH3 begin at the Vatican with priests attempting an exorcism on somebody and the Ghostbusters pop in when their efforts fail and kill the ghosts. Bill Murray would say something along the lines of "Are you gonna ask me if I'm God? because based on our performance, I'm gonna say YES."

Oh, absolutely. I'm just saying it's not any guarantee.

In my opinion, so many female characters in movies suck because they are most often written by male writers who don't know how to write them well. But executives insist they put women in, usually as shoehorned in and unnecessary love story subplots. I often hear women complaining about the quality of female characters in movies, but then clamoring for more of them. As if it's some sort of quota system. Or some idea that the percentage of good to bad characters will stay the same, so increase the whole. Frankly, I'd rather see fewer female characters IF that meant the ones we get are better. If a writer doesn't know how to write women well DON'T MAKE THEM DO IT. Get more writers (male or female) who can.

"Are you God?"
Nope! But I killed one."

Part of me is scared to see a Ghostbusters movie without Ramis and Reitman. Most of me is more scared to never see anymore Ghostbusters. Bring on the She-Ghostbusters! Let's see how this goes!

If the last Kate Dippold/Paul Feig collaboration is any indication...if nothing else, I look forward to the commentary from Joel, Trace, and Josh!

(And speaking of bringing back Freaks and Geeks actors...come on, Feig. Linda and Busy as busters. Make it happen.)

Just keep Aykroyd away from the writer's chair.

I'd love to have him cast Trace in a cameo as an R&D guy or something.

I doubt you'll "never see another Ghostbusters" if this doesn't happen. They'll reboot it eventually. It's too big of a franchise name for the studio not to.

If I had a shitton of money, I'd hire Christopher Nolan and Edgar Wright to make it.

If I had a shitload of money, I'd pay them to stay away from it.
