For those of you saying you're fine with an all female cast, just not this one...who would you cast instead?

fair question and i'll give it some more thought later, but off the top of my head and without just listing a bunch of mega A-listers:

Venkman role- Anna Kendrick or Emma Stone
Ray role- Aisha Tyler or Linda Cardellini
Egon role- Mindy Kaling or Kristen Bell
Winston role- Maya Rudolph or Aubrey Plaza

Anyone but Wiig and McCarthy.

I think that McKinnon will be the best one in this film hands down. I'm already excited about her "look" and think she'll pull off a great Egon equivalent. I support your Anna Kendrick suggestion, only because I'm also madly in love with her (as I am McKinnon). Aubrey Plaza is an interesting idea.

I'm ok with the casting decisions for the most part (minus Leslie Jones...how she is on SNL is beyond me. She has one character, Angry Black Woman). I would probably keep everyone, but her. If I had to remove anyone else and sub in someone else, I would probably remove McCarthy and put in Poehler or Fey.

Lorne Michaels was guilted into putting her in front of the camera by the social justice warrior crowd.

Was that Lorenzo Music (Garfield)?

Lorenzo Music was Venkman (and Bill Murray was Garfield!)

She has one character, and it's not even funny.

We are fine with all female casts in OTHER movies, just not this one. Notice the emphasis.

I posted this in the last thread and I stand by it:

I think the reason this I don't see this being good is that I don't care that there are women in it. The people making it care that there are women in it. When your whole casting is set up as away to further a political agenda, then I usually don't find those movies entertaining.

Plus the casting in the original was so legendary, it was a bunch of comedians at the top of the food chain. Kristen Wiig might be in the top 5 for women comedians. McCarthy might be top 10. In the grand scheme of things, these names are just not a huge draw.

I really don't think this is an agenda thing so much as "how can we take an existing property and make it different? I know! Make them all women!"

It's more of a possible swing-and-miss creative idea than someone trying to make a statement.

Maya rudolph, ellie kemper, Retta (parks and rec), and Kate upton

They carried Bridesmaids

Have to admit I do like the variety of new weapons.

This is MUCH better.

my hatred of that annoying black lady from snl kills any interest i might have in watching this

lucky for us, looks like they dropped about 90% of the plot in that trailer. wait for it to come on HBO, and watch the last 15 mins. Or don't. actually, just don't.

I don't know many people who thought Bridesmaids wasn't funny.

I remember laughing at some parts, I just don't remember more than 10 seconds of that movie right now.

Why was Egon blonde in the cartoon anyway?

That was back when diversity meant having a blonde & brunette white person in the cast.

The airplane part was funny when Kristen Wiig was drunk and high on pills. Otherwise that movie licked taint.

So in my opinion, that all female cast was a big bucket of fail.

It was funny, but entirely forgettable.

can't wait for the all female Expendables.
