Re: Ghostbusters 3

"Agree that everyone is way too nervous about how this issue and how we. present it but it's isn't a sequel to the 80s movies and it is gonna be totally original with completely different characters and our job is to find a clever way to connect the movie to the original franchise so that we can use all the assets and everything that is great about the original franchise [sic],"

This quote embodies everything that I've been saying about what's wrong with Hollywood today.


Look at that quote. Then look at it again.


They do not care about making a quality film. they care about "connecting" to the "assets" of the original material. In essence, they dress up whatever crappy film in the intellectual property of the previous film and call it a day.

This is how Hollywood works now.

When you pay to see films like this, you tell Hollywood "Keep up the good work, guys, and remember -- I'll see anything if you slap the logo on it and make a halfway decent trailer!"

Yup. Sad. I hope the hackers shake-up all of Hollywood, not just Sony.

Really? You want these cyber terrorists to reveal more private plans and personal email exchanges of companies and their people , which is then likely to go beyond just Hollywood. These private exchanges and many like them weren't meant for public record, no matter how unsavory their content was.

This isn't a matter of people's right to information or freedom of press, this is a fallout of cyber terrorism. Let's not lose perspective here.

Nope. Not what I meant. Just that they all now need to proceed with caution.

Okay, yeah that has likely led to others taking further measures with their communications and security.

At least two actresses have been approached about starring in the new GHOSTBUSTERS reboot! - Ain't It Cool News

I don't get what they could do legally against Murray unless he had some kind of clause in his previous contract about sequels.

I love Amy Schumer. I hope she's in it.

Re: Ghostbusters 3

The plundering of old franchises is unfortunate. What surprises me is not that they do it, but that they fail to realize this is bad for their own bottom line eventually.


WB won't crank out a series of awful irreverent Batman or Superman movies (not purposely, anyway). The last thing Disney wants to do is fumble the new Star Wars movies. Etc. But for some reason the studios categorize a lot of old franchises as disposable.

It's disposable, but it's being remade, because it's the best project idea they have today.

Hey at least it's not James Franco and Seth Rogen. If that's the last movie they do I'll be extremely happy.

Ugh. They are going to miss the mark by miles. Do they even understand the concept of Ghostbusters?

Of course! People crack jokes and shoot laserbeams at slimy ghosts. They wear brown suits with black backpacks that connect to the laserguns. They drive a white car with a bunch of lights on it, and the car, their firehouse base, and their outfits all have the no-ghosts logo. And it takes place in New York, but it can be expanded to any city, really, depending on how many sequels you want to make.

That's the concept, right?

Re: Ghostbusters 3

I've just never thought of Ghostbusters as having a horror aspect. It's just an action comedy in my eyes. Why try and make it scary?

Re: Ghostbusters 3

Did anyone see the "Land of the Lost" movie? I have a feeling this is going to end in a similar situation. I really don't mind reboots or remakes if there's actual artistic reasoning behind it and if it's handled with a modicum of respect to the original.

Disney (and JJ Abrams) seem to have realized when they took over Star Wars that there is a great value (and potential profit) in keeping the original fan base happy if you want longevity in reviving a stumbling franchise.

Not bad. But if they ever did it as an actual anime, I think the dark style that's in Wicked City would definitely best fit.

Re: Ghostbusters 3

I'll be avoiding GB3 if it has either of the following:

1. An original GB actor in any role other than their original GB role

and/or

2. Melissa McCarthy.

Just my two cents...
