EW:
On Wednesday afternoon, Paul Feig tweeted that he was indeed going to direct a new Ghostbusters film, and it will, in his words, star “hilarious women.”
Just a few months ago the future of Ghostbusters seemed uncertain, with Ivan Reitman deciding not to direct a new movie after the death of Harold Ramis. Feig, however, has taken Ghostbusters in an entirely new direction. He’s not making a follow-up to the ’80s classics, but rebooting franchise with women as the titular ghost-fighting heroes. The concept fits within Feig’s oeuvre. His critical and commercial successes, Bridesmaids and The Heat, were comedies led by women, and he has enlisted The Heat‘s writer, Katie Dippold, to script the new Ghostbusters with him.
Feig got on the phone to talk to EW about his plans for Ghostbusters.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I'm not sure about where he's going with it but I'll keep an open mind.
BAH! Gutter trash.
I'm fine with the all-female cast and different direction...but I'm NOT happy about it being a reboot. That's such a cop-out. Rather than work hard at integrating new characters into an engaging story set within the same universe, they're just going to reboot it.
Poor storytelling in my opinion for a great franchise that could have kept going.
He's doing a supernatural Bridesmaid because doing that with the Ghostbusters brand is better then doing a sequel.
I hope this fails, I'm not trying to be sexist but an all female cast just won't work. Maybe one female fair enough but all of them....nope
Plus it's a reboot.
Crash and burn Paul.
