This reeks of "notes."
I'm thinking it reeks of something else entirely!

Perhaps! If it is, it was an early note.

Yep. Treading old water by design. I'm actually waiting to hear if they shot it or not (or used another song), but it was the plan as far back as the plot outline!

yeah, what solo said. I thought that was popping up at least as far as the third leaked sony outline. I didn't know this was in it since the begining...
so really, as far as we know, the only things that have changed since that outline are the main villain (no more stupid; becoming super ghost as lightning hits electric chair ..that might work in an earnest movie, but not here) and the comic con scene being replaced by a heavy metal ozzy concert (of all things...should have kept the comic scene...maybe NYCC wouldn't let them film due to over crowding).......
the reason that picture makes me think 'dance number' is because of the discoey looking broadway lights in the background. I picture a big musical number like the one scene in the mask with the cops and jim carrey ;o).

If we get confirmation that this is indeed what it was/is... it will be the greatest final battle in all of cinema.
and the fact that NO ONE at sony stepped in and said... "WHAT THE FARDOOKIN ARE YOU PEOPLE ON?"
;o)
hey, it worked here, why not try it again? ;o)

Are you guys serious about this Thriller thing? Is that for real? Didn't they recently do that in 13 Going On 30?

So....anyone want to take guesses on what this is? a way to save face if feig busters fails? maybe someone high up saw dailies...
I can't remember an instance of two movies in the same franchise being announced before the first one came out..three if you count prat busters

It could be that, yeah. It could also be a total lack of inspiration. Like, nobody was excited by what Feig originally intended, so they kept injecting more and more references to the old stuff. Or maybe that's actually what Feig came up with. Or, maybe Feig's original idea wasn't that well fleshed out after all (beyond the outline) and the actual day-to-day of it ended up being WAY more referential because it turns out nobody could think outside of that box.
Whatever the reason...
Does anyone see Ivan Reitman producing a new cartoon GB based mainly on Feig's movie/characters, instead of the original GB? IMO that is pretty much the only scenario where a new cartoon doesn't undermine Feig's movie to some extent.
GB isn't Star Wars, where there is enough audience to justify multiple branches of the franchise. It wasn't that long ago that GB was considered pretty much dead. There still hasn't actually been a new movie/TV released since then.
Even if they want to incorporate both new & old GB in the new cartoon, it still implies that they should have done more of that in the movie. They don't make cartoons aiming at 40yo fans of the original GB. If anything the cartoon would be the one aimed more at the younger/newer fanbase.
