“Ghostbusters 2020: Transexual amputee SJWs team up to defeat and capture the evil, conservative ghosts of George Washington, Ben Franklin, and other Founding Fathers. Starring Kathie Griffin, RuPaul, Kaitlyn Jenner, and featuring Rachel Maddow as the brainy, wisecracking Professor. Rated R for language and utter stupidity.”

They needed a palate cleanser for the dreadful chick flick version.

[Magnatron]

Apparently, in Hollywood at least, there are no more stories left to be told...

[MrEdd]

And the original was an abysmally bad jumble of storyboarding saved by brilliant add-libbing from talented actors.

[NorthMountain]

Yes it’s true. This man has no d!(k.

[dfwgator]

LOL, he played a good jerk. He was also the reporter in "Die Hard" who got punched by Bonnie Bedelia.

[wastedyears]

what audiences want, perhaps more than anything, is originality?

Anime is better than regular programming.

[Flick Lives]

Print is dead. And so apparently too is Hollywood.

[Daniel Ramsey]

You know dam well Hollyweird will cast Trump as an evil ghost spirit or something.

It’s still too soon to reveal the plot of the screenplay, who the new characters will be, or whether the original actors like Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, or Bill Murray will return. Harold Ramis died in 2014.

Okay. So that means Harold's definitely in and the others are "maybes"?

[EdnaMode]

[plain talk]

The first 5-10 minutes of Ghostbusters has the shock scene with Bill Murray in his prime. I never tire of it.

[Getready]

Hate to break this to ya’...but there is a sizable segment of the population who want and need sequels. You can here them talk about the significance of characters in movies as if they are speaking about real events and people. Also note the huge followings for mini series tv shows. You are correct that originality trumps sequels but movies are about MONEY...ideas are tertiary in the movie universe. Box office...good filming experience(i.e...salary..locale...food...drugs...sex)....then ideas. All meant to placate viewers need to escape the perceived banality of their existence.Cuz shakers and movers dont talk about movies much.

Before this were 30’s/40’s films like “Ghoster Chasers” etc. One starred Oliver & Hardy, or Richard Carlson and possibly StepNFetchit as in “Feets don’t fail me now”.

Another film had Bob Hope in it, or was that the one with Richard Carlson? Don’t have a movie guide around right now.

I am the keymaster. But I don't remember what the key is for any longer.

I am the gatekeeper. But the hinges are rusted shut.

[COBOL2Java]

Bet it will make a lot more money than the female led reboot from a few years ago.

Aw, I liked the female reboot.
