I was so surprised about this..... what do you think of this? 

Possible spoiler on his role:

However, a report earlier this year claimed Sony wanted the actor to appear in Feig’s reboot in a new role: a supernatural skeptic named Martin Heiss, who attempts to debunk the Ghostbusters’ work.

I think this is BS, for a number of reasons, but most of all because from what I remember, a true Ghostbusters 3 sequel never happened because Murray kept saying no to it.  And now he'll do a cameo for this reboot/respin, sure it's not a big part but w/e, smh!

I doubt that this is just hot air. Murray pretty much suggested on who he would like to see in an all female Ghostbusters movie. 

My expectations were low when they announced a reboot. They dropped lower when it was announced to be an all female cast (nothing against that per se, but it was in the wake of a lot of reboots trying a more feminine vibe.)

Having seen photos and interviews, I'm calling this a flop. It'll make enough money for them to think about a second round I think, but that won't last long.

meh, he was probably the character I disliked the most in the original films so I don't really care either way. 

Most people here thinks the film is going to be bad so that means its going to be a hit. I seen people here get hyped for movies on here that turn out bad too many times. :laugh:

You're saying that as if SNL is a stamp of quality and not a stamp of absolutely horrible "comedy"(and I use the word extremely liberally)...

Well.... Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd came from SNL and the original Ghostbusters was pretty darn funny....

But I get your overall point.

Should there be concern for director Paul Feig that people seem more excited over the cameos in "Ghostbusters" than his new cast? With Dan Akroуd, Bill Murraу, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts all confirmed to return, fans have been anxiouslу waiting to find out if Sigourneу Weaver would be joining them, and now we know that she will. Feig announced on Twitter (and had some sharp words which we'll get to in a minute) that Weaver had joined the cast of his "Ghostbusters" reboot, but don't expect her to be reprising her role of Dana Barrett. [ 121 more words. ]

I think what the fans think has been clear from day 1, most don't care about the reboot or whatever you want to call it, and hell, even Paul Feig knows, otherwise if he had so much confidence in his cast he wouldn't grab all the original cast to do cameos left and right, there just wouldn't be any need or reason to.   I don't buy the thing that it's out of respect for the originals and all that, very few reboots bother to do this type of thing, no, I think the studio knows it's got a uphill battle to try and win the fans over and that's the only reason this is happening.

    • 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.
