On one hand, hey, more Ghostbusters.

On the other hand, why don't we just focus on getting the first movie to work before we make that leap.

To be fair, Reitman is on a roll of making great movies that people care about and have heard of like Draft Day, No Strings Attached and My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Not to mention Akroyd whose most recent writing credits are Blues Brothers 2000, Coneheads and Nothing But Trouble.

Like all remakes, reboots and sequels what upsets me the most is that movie studios are going to break into my house and take my copy of the original away.

You jumped the gun! No one's said to not reboot it yet.

Speaking of gun, I'm also upset they force me at gunpoint to watch every remake, reboot and sequel when as an adult I could just choose not to see it

Man, you must have material to burn! Jumping the gun again!

And I feel like you wouldn't even have to wait long...

This is just another movie that A) I won't believe is actually happening until I see a trailer, and B) I definitely will wait for some reviews to come in from people I trust before I see it in a theater.

As many as four Ghostbusters movies currently planned:

Actually kind of makes the announcement less gross, but I still would let Dan or Ivan near it.

So now there's another Ghostbusters project coming...with males.

It would be funny if the one with all women turned out to be good, and this one was crap. Just to piss off all the whiners about the gender swap.

It sort of would be, but the deck is stacked against them. If they fail, it's because they were women and should have been in a ghostbusters movie poop poop poop, and if they succeed, they've 'improved the brand' and the guys version will, naturally, do better based of the ground work the laid by the Ladybusters.

I don't trust you, Kete. I don't think you're really riding that Sriracha.

It sounds a little like a George Lucasian, "It's what was intended all along," idea with a little bit of evidence, since apparently the original Ghostbusters script involved several competing groups of Ghostbusters all over New York.

Or maybe they'll actually be using the "franchise opportunity" idea that they teased with one line of the original movie and kept trying to work in over decades of video games.
