Apparently Aykroyd is going to be a Executive Producer who is going to work closely with Feig on the script. He's also optimistic about an actual Ghostbusters 3 ... I guess take it for what it is.. with a grain of salt. 

I remember I watched old cartoon called The Real Ghostbuster.... Janine Melnitz decided to help her Ghostbuster teams too, because she wanted to save them too.

 

As a Proper Ghostbusters
 

She is most commonly been seen wearing a pink uniform when she was playing the part of a ghostbuster. She can be seen wearing a uniform in the following episodes:

Executive producers typically only get their name on the poster to add credibility to the movie, with little if any input outside of maybe getting to see some work in progress previews. and maybe a lunch date with the producer.

Not in this case, He said it himself he was going to work with Feig on the script in an interview.

Casting a male receptionist seems like a great move. It's basically flipping the dominant ideology on its head. If they add a relationship between him and an older woman it would be icing on the cake.

Still stupid blatant pandering

 

The movie can still be good, but they decided to do this latant pandering before they even started on a script, and then they make a script to fit their idea of pandering to this group... bah.

It's no more pandering than to have a male cast and a female receptionist, it's just that that is the established norm. Unless people challenge the status quo it will remain the same.

Except it is. especially when you consider who wrote the script for the original one. They just wrote a script. For this new one they first decided that they are going to have all female cast and a male receptionist and then wrote a script around that.

 

one isn't pandering the other is.

You can call it pandering, I can call it social progress.

Social progress would be to make a story and let the story dictate casting, not dictate casting based on super feminism(no regular feminism isn't giving women more right then men or giving them quote jobs or stuff like that)  and then make the story based on casting dictated by that again. that's pandering.

 

Had the team been 50/50 (which is also stupid,  if it's 50/50 because of quota but anyway) then I could agree it would be progress, but it would only be progress if you assume the original movie was cast as all male because they thought women was weaker which wasn't at all the case. hence it's stupid pandering. 

 

I like some of the cast at least so there's still a chance it'll be good, but I say the movie would have been better if the script would have been written without being forced into pandering to the SJW's and if the team had been mixed. The opportunity for interaction would be so much better then.

How do you know that isn't the case? I wasn't aware that the script had leaked.

 

At the end of the day we have countless movies that have had all male casts and women in supporting roles, so I don't see any problem with turning the tables. If this movie is 'super feminism' then every movie with an all male cast is 'super misogyny'.

Even if it is, it won't be the same without Egon  :(

 

If they wait to see the success of this one to make a 3rd it won't matter anyway they will all be dead. To say they are waiting is just nothing more than wishful thinking. To make this movie anyway as I said with the cast they have is a slap in the face to those that love the Ghostbuster movies. Tired of Hollywood ruining my childhood.

I'm not gonna go see it. I'll stick with the first two. I don't really care for reboots either except F13 2009.

This sounds more and more like Bridesmaids 2 with a few ghosts thrown in. Who's going to pay to watch that crap? Hell I wouldn't even waste my bandwidth torrenting it.

And when it fails commercially, which it will almost certainly do, perhaps Hollywood will get the message to leave identity politics out of movies. Though I won't hold my breath.

    • Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta has announced a major leadership change at WhatsApp, with Will Cathcart stepping down after seven years of leading the world's largest messaging platform. CRED CEO and founder Kunal Shah will take over as the next global head of WhatsApp. CRED is an Indian fintech company focused on creditworthy consumers. As part of the transition, Meta is also making a minority investment in CRED through its Series H funding round. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Will Cathcart will remain at Meta and move into a new role focused on building new products from the ground up. Cathcart led WhatsApp during a major growth phase, helping the app reach more than 3 billion users worldwide. He also played a key role in expanding WhatsApp’s business offerings while keeping privacy and end-to-end encryption central to the product. Meta’s Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, said Kunal Shah was selected after a search for a leader who understands WhatsApp’s global scale and future potential. In a leaked internal memo, Cox described Shah as a “serial founder” and one of India’s most respected entrepreneurs, adding that he brings “entrepreneurial energy” and a strong product mindset to the role. As part of the Series H funding round, CRED is raising ₹8,550 crore, or about $900 million, in a round led by Meta. The funding values CRED at ₹43,239 crore, or about $4.5 billion, on a post-money basis. It is important to note that this investment will not give Meta access to CRED customer information. Kunal posted the following on X regarding his new role at Meta: Although Kunal Shah will be stepping away from his operating role as CRED CEO, he will retain his personal shareholding in the company.
    • It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
