Ghostbusters 3 - Part 2

[The Guard]

I understand being attached to Peter, Egon, Ray, Winston, Dana, Janine, Louis, etc.

I don't, however, agree that somehow this new approach is "dispatching" the old team or the old concept. That's a bit much. Those movies still exist, so the mythology is very much intact. The animated series still exists, as do comics stories about them.
And you know what? There are people who didn't grow up on those movies and with those characters. Who don't associate those characters with The Ghostbusters. There are even people who don't know what The Ghostbusters are.

I don’t think there’s a chance this will ever be as good as the original movies. That doesn’t mean it can’t be good.

That said, I’m fairly certain that by the time this movie rolls around, it will likely have some kind of connection to GHOSTBUSTERS and GHOSTBUSTERS II.

I think Sony would be responsible for something like that. Might even get a boy on the team so that it's an easier sell for action figures that you know they want to sell. But I'm still intrigued by the interviews mentioning of how Sony wants this film to happen, but everyone's afraid to touch the property. With Frieg taking over they're going to want to give him some creative control to keep him enticed, but GBs is still their baby and they'll want a say. Look what they did with Amazing Spider-Man 2.
