Honestly this may or may not happen, Ghostbusters 3 has had directors and screen writers in the past.  Lee Eisenberg & Gene Stupnitsky were set up back in 2008 and nothing happened, back in 2012 it was Etan Cohen & Ivan Reitman and obviously Dan has had several scripts himself.  We will see where this goes.

I'm a big fan and think this version should not happen. I've got nothing against movies with all female casts but not for this movie. I don't think it will work, it's not something I even feel I should go see and I'm a big fan like I said.

If you can't give us a real sequel that adds to the franchise then forget it, enough with the cheap reboots, it's just a money grab.

I am also fine with a female cast (as long as McCarthy isn't in it. I want her to stay away far as possible from this franchise.) I am not fine however when they totally decide to pretty much ignore the two movies ever happened. All the characters of the GB universe do no exist. Feig is wiping the slate clean. As Mr. Ernie Hudson says " Why bother calling it Ghostbusters then? " I wholeheartly agree with him. I also don't like the fact they are completely ignoring Dan's script and making their own script. It's also the script the late Harold Ramis also worked on. That's just disrespectful in my opinion. Not cool. Do they know anything about the Paranormal? I mean Dan is a massive fan of the unknown, he believes in Ghosts and stuff. Half if not all terms came from him or from his research on the project. I.e Class 5 FRV (Full Roam Vapor), EMF scrubbers, PKE.. etc etc etc whether it's real or if he made it up.. I don't know, but hey it sounded cool. I mean hell, he could name most if not all the stuff on the Roof Rack on the Ecto-1. Anyway, I"m ranting just a bit.. so yeah.

I'm with you, I hope this never makes it past the script stage and they can find someone else who can respect the past 2 movies and do a good sequel not a silly reboot that takes advantage of the well known name to make it some silly all female comedy, we don't need bridesmaids with proton packs guys, just stop.

yep, it's sounds crap, it's a guy movie, sorry is that sounds sexist. If this gets made it'll be stupid, i imagine revealing costumes and bad jokes....

Speaking of new equipment and stuff I'd rather they have the old Proton Packs but upgraded a bit. Think the game's version put more compact to fit the pack's original design. It's pretty much perfected. I think that would be cool. Flight suits should stay the same IMO. Either Tan/Khaki or the Blue/Grey versions. Or maybe the new one is black. Although this probably won't happen. We will probably see them in formal dress wear as their uniform probably. Just because Feig is wiping the slate clean.

Ghostbusters Reboot To Be Set In New York
 

Director Paul Feig tells Empire Magazine, emphatically, that the new Ghostbusters reboot will be set in New York City, as the original films were. In fact, he says he

 

I don't care where it's going to be filmed.. as long as McCarthy is gone. If she's on board.. she better be a animated free roaming vapor.

Doubt that's going to happen shes a big actress now

She's big alright...but super annoying to even listen to.

 

I agree with the others.. if McCarthy is in it I will NOT go to theaters to see it and highly sure I won't even catch it till its on HBO or something so I can fast forward thru anything she is involved in.

 

We need a #NOMcCarthyGhost hash tag or something to get going to show that people do NOT want her in the movie!

i agree!    this is NOT the movie for her. its ######ing ghostbusters.  my childhood memories.

not a lame comedy about a fat chick who is comfortable enough with her body to shove it in out faces!

    • If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.
    • Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"  
    • TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results
    • Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?
    • There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
