Ah, I see. I would assume his bible is an extensive outline for his film, as well as the franchise going forward. I saw he also mentioned that his team would be mixed gender. I'm assuming two guys & two girls. Faraci also mentioned that the plan would be for both the Feig team and the team from Pearce's script to crossover in a future film.

Yeah. When Ghost Corps and rumors of a second film emerged, Ivan Reitman said that the Russo Bros film would build from the universe Feig creates. They hinted at four films being thought up. Feig's, the Russo's, a crossover event, and a prequel.

As a GB Fan whose been following rumors since the 90's, seeing this possible explosion of Ghostbuster films has a big ol' smile on my face. t:

Let's just work on a sequel, with mixed genders that can do its best to honour the original.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Well I am glad that if we are going to get another GB film that isn't part of the current one filming, that it will be gender mixed instead of an all male group to counter the all female group.

 

[stormtrooper]

good luck trying to get both tatum and pratt; they're very busy.

It was always going to be built on what Feig creates and I think that one still honors the originL, even though it's not a sequel.

All that doesn't matter as much now. Front page of the Hype has an article about Reitman denying another film in the works. They're focusing on Feig's and it's going fantastically.

Official statement by Ivan Reitman:

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/30/ivan-reitman-ghostbusters

“There has been a lot of excitement recently about what is happening with the Ghostbusters franchise. As the producer of the new Ghostbusters film, I feel the need to clarify. There is only one new Ghostbusters movie and that is the Paul Feig directed version coming next July, presently filming and going fantastically. The rest is just noise,” Reitman said.

I can't imagine they are legitimately planning other films until they see how this one performs.

This one could either do great or bomb depending.

Disagree. This won't bomb, but if it did the other film can work as damage control. Sony is gonna want this to work someway or another.

If the first film fails expectations or audiences react bad, the next one has a completely new cast. Potentially including one of the most popular actors right now who puts asses in seats. That along with a creative team who's known for big Marvel projects will have no trouble brining audiences back.

 

[Bruce Malone]

There have been tons of hoped for franchises that never pan out due to the under-performance of the first film.

It doesn't even have to out and out bomb really either. Look at the Tron revival or Mad Max which has barely broken even yet.

I think the only way we're getting spin-offs is if this film does very good. Also this is already a Ghostbusters with a brand new cast why would another brand new cast work if this one fails? If anything it would prove that people really only care for the original cast.

 

[def28]

If they lockdown Chris Pratt it will be green lit. Too many big names on the film making and acting side for the potential spinn off for them not to make it if this one doesn't fair well.

Overall it's a weird scenario.

Thanks for that. All tgtthe info and bizarreness of the situation in one place.

Greatest irony: After hearing Dan play chearleader all these years for a GB3 that would not happen, he's been really quiet lately. I hope we hear more about TV stuff soon.

Ghostbusters cast surprises patients at Boston children's hospital

There wasn’t anything strange in their neighborhood, per se, but the folks at Tufts Medical Center in Boston knew exactly who to call to brighten their spirits. The cast of the new Ghostbusters reboot took time out of their busy filming schedule to give patients at the Floating Hospital for Children an other-worldly surprise.

Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones showed at the center in full Ghostbusters attire, proton packs and all. They made the rounds visiting with patients and their families, and posing for photographs. As depicted in one such photo published on the Tufts Medical Center’s Facebook page, some of them got to hold the stars’ ghost-fighting props. Thankfully, no one crossed the streams.

 

[Galactus123]

They probably thought that why are some Ghostbusters cosplayers visiting us?

Ghostbusters cast surprises patients at Boston children's hospital

That's cool that they did that and everything, but its a children's hospital...this movie isn't even out yet. They have no GB arm patches. Did these kids even know who they were? It feels...weird. Like a PR stunt.

"It's more impressive when Evans and Pratt do it just out of the goodness of their hears when there is no movie or project to be promoted.
Doing this as part of a promo build up to a movie feels...gross."

 

[henzINNIT]

It's always PR, doesn't mean it's not a nice thing to do.

I imagine there were a lot of confused patients though, there's not even been a trailer for this film yet. And it's a little unintentionally dark sending Ghostbusters to visit sick people in hospital haha.

 

[Mike_D202]

Well, at least they brought a professional camera man with them so we can at least check out the new proton guns.

 

[JangoNate]

I gotta say that I'm really digging this idea that we might be getting the evolution of the gear. It's unusual to see so much of a film before even a trailer, but I'm ok with that. Makes me wonder if there's any other versions of the pack to be shown or if these two versions are it.

The prop folks on GBfans sure do have a lot to work with. We've spent 31 years with a pack that only changed slightly between films. Now two packs with very different wands show up. Let's get to work!

The hospital visit was very cool, but I wouldn't be surprised if most if not all of the kids had no idea who those women were. I doubt many of them have seen any of Melissa McCarthy's movies and they might not even know who the Ghostbusters are. They probably just thought they were women in funny looking costumes, or that they were supposed to be firefighters.

To be fair, kids rarely know who I am when I go out in my GB2 suit and pack. I've been called a rocket man, a future army man, and many other variations of military, but most don't guess I'm a GB. Of course, by the time they're done meeting me I ensure they do.

 

[Vaibow]

Which GB team you affiliated with Jango? I'm hoping to join the vancouver/BC family
