Ramis is dead, Murray is out and Ivan Reitman just bailed as director. Sony figured it's time to give it the green light.
I dont blame Billy for not wanting anything to do with it!!

Sadly he changed his mind. Doing a movie with the original cast one more time was out of the question for decades, but he decided on tagging along for this shitty reboot instead.

Big paycheck for probably one day of work.

From my understanding they are pretty much doing a carbon copy of the original move.
The director Paul Feig was asked to do a pass the torch type of movie to the woman cast members but he did not want to do that kind of movie.

They should have done a pass the torch now that I think of it. Most of the old cast is going to make an appearance in the movie any ways. I think it would of been a better movie.

This is the rumor that I heard so take any way you want.

feels like a lot of the movie is propagating Hollywood feminist nonsense; they couldn't do a "pass the torch" because that would imply that women needed men to do it first

I saw the commercial for it today on TV and was like oh please no, just stop.

Even if I had never seen the original Ghostbusters I would still say no thanks.

looks like it going to be more annoying than entertaining.

will probably have a big box office opening and then quickly fade away.

Eh, I think it *might* have a big opening, but I'm certain it's gonna tank like a mofo immediately afterwards. The movie looks stupid as fuck.

why are they making two versions of the same movie? i just don't see how the male oriented movie would make sense when they're just coming out with the all female cast?

Unsurprising, but I still harbored hope against hope that it would still be entertaining. The Goonies had an awful movie trailer but was a great movie. Sometimes it's just the editing. Not so in this films case apparently, too bad.

It is kind of a shame because I think this movie really deserved a better reboot and the talent exists to make that happen. I think that the female cast thing was an effort to be 'daring' by the director in hopes that it would pay off. Because of that much of the focus has been around that aspect of the movie and not about the content of the movie itself.

A movie cast without the focus on gender would have been a much better choice.

There were lots of great young comedic actors to choose from to make this movie and they blew it.

And yet all these people said we were hating on it just because it was a female cast. No we were hating on it because it just didn't look good.

The damnest thing is that when the trailer got scathing criticism Sony actually mass deleted all the comments with well worded legitimate concerns while leaving the few sexist/misogynist posts alone. As if to create the perception that the only people down voting it were just sexist people.

What's the difference between "All Critics" and "Top Critics"? I'm seeing that while it's currently sitting at 74% with "All Critics" it's only at 46% with the "Top Critics". That looks like a large gap, which makes me wonder how that came about.

It could be the movie was screened first for critics that have a proven record of being forgiving on movies in certain genres in order to inflate the rotten tomatoes score long enough for the big "opening weekend" where they make most of their money. It's a way of mitigating the losses when a studio knows their movie is shit.

We've seen time and time again, movies will score high first then when the regular public gets to see it the score drops fast
