This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]517053[/split]
But what about Ernie?Murray + Aykroyd + McKinnon + Wiig could've worked.
It is gratifying that Wonder Woman's box office success deprives the apologists for this movie of the "people were too sexist to see it" narrative.
There weren't that many "woman haters". But that was the excuse the studio, producers, director, and actors were trying to push as the reason the movie failed to make money.Not sure how many of those there actually were. I think there were more "I don't want to see Ghostbusters rebooted" than "ew, women" haters.
Hopefully there won't be a "next go around". And Hollywood or Sony just leaves the franchise alone for good.Wheels said:I would try a 3D animated film the next go round. That's the best way to bring back the classic characters and get around the obvious issues. I'm not seeing any type of sequel without Venkman and Egon;; it just ain't happening. That's why I was cool with a reboot in the first place.

That's what I was saying from the beginning. Feig was such a terrible choice for Ghostbusters. The second he was announced, I knew we would get an all female cast, and I could already see the type of humor that he would implement, which is exactly what it turned out to be.Again I just think they made a big mistake thinking they could plug Ghostbusters into Feig's standard comedy formula. Look at something like the jail scene in the original...

Just a **** show on Sony's part.
Kevin Jagernauth said:With Dan Aykroyd dropping his truth about last years Ghostbusters reboot, now its time for franchise co-founder Ivan Reitman to weigh in. Unlike his partner in all things comically supernatural, Reitman isnt here to kick Paul Feigs movie, but is instead looking to the future. And because we live in a world where #branding is key for almost every major cinematic property, the idea being tossed around is to take Ghostbusters global.
In an interview with Super News Live, Reitman shared his vision for the franchise, and its not bad one, as he sees Ghostbusters teams in all corners of the globe, fighting spectres that are unique to their setting.
What weve been doing a lot of is thinking about the franchise rights for Ghostbusters. Because Ghostbusters, that idea doesnt have to just take place in New York, it can happen over the world. I think it would be really cool to see Korean ghosts or Chinese ghosts. All those great traditions in the world have all these tales and things those people are afraid of. To have a sort of local group of Ghostbusters that tie with the head office in New York would be fun, he said.
Again, thats an interesting concept both creatively and financially (global box office receipts are more important than ever), so itll be curious to see how that develops. As for the proton pack heroes of the current films, Reitman wants to see them actually come together (as youll recall, the original cast of Ghostbusters cameoed in the reboot, but as different characters).
Were doing a lot of work about where do we go next with Ghostbusters. I think one thing that fans have clearly wanted, and so did I, that somehow we tie the worlds together. I think it was a little awkward that it wasnt connected, and we certainly heard a lot from everybody out there. So I would definitely want to connect to all of that, Reitman shared.
