I don't have an issue with it as long as the movie is good.

Yep.

Wow, yet another retread.

So in other words... And SNL failure...

And I hate that black chick... I saw her for the first time last weekend on SNL, and I don't like her one bit...

Won't be seeing this until it shows up on tv...

I can't think of a movie that had bust written all over it before it had even been filmed. Well, maybe that Carrot Top movie.

I'm not completely against reboots, but I just don't want Ghostbusters rebooted. It's not only a "classic" (in the loose sense), but one of my personal favorites as a kid and IMO was done perfectly the first time. There's no need to redo it, and this one can only be worse - it can't improve on the first and seriously doubt it matches it in quality.

I will pass on seeing this.

I guess I'll be the guy who is excited for this! Kate McKinnon is the best thing about SNL right now and am excited to see her in more movies. Also they had me at Paul Feig

Winston looks the same.

Seriously, there's no way this is near the quality of the original. Ghostbusters is a classic. Even redoing with the same guys would not have been the same.

I may avoid out of protest until it's on TV.

I may be wrong, but this isn't a reboot/remake: it's a sequel that is passing the jobs onto new people (in this case, women).

There was a .01% chance that Ghostbusters 3 was going to happen with the original cast. Akroyd had a script and could never get Murray to read it. Now with Ramis passed away, any chance of the original cast reassembling is gone.

Last I heard, the next idea was to have at least Akroyd appear in the new one and selling the franchise rights to the new cast. The idea of Ghostbusters being a franchise for sale was mentioned in the original. There were rumors of Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, James Franco and others being considered.

I'm not commenting on if the female cast is a good idea, just that I don't think this is meant to be a remake or reboot; they aren't dismissing the original continuity, just bringing in a new cast.

I like KcKinnon, Wigg, and McCarthy (shoot me), but Leslie Jones is horrible

I would happily bust my ghosts all over kristen wiig

But yeah, all female cast seems like more forced crap from Hollywood

Might as well ruin all my childhood movies as well...let's reboot Stripes with an all female starring cast and Caddyshack with an all female starring cast...BASURA!!!

What's next rebooting Bloodsport with either Miesha Tate or Ronda Rousey as the protagonist?!

Omg it's happeningggggg!!!!

If the story truly is written around the Ghostbusters retiring and selling the franchise, then it's a sequel and I'll give it a chance. If it's a remake/reboot of the origin story, hell no.

Ghostbusters franchise, sequel or not, consists of comedies. None of those women are funny. I'll not have my nostalgia tainted. Pass.

Won't see, I've had enough of my childhood favorites destroyed by Bay, don't need anyone else stepping in and adding to it

i don't think it's that a female cast of ghostbusters can't work...i just have my doubts about THIS female cast of ghostbusters

i'm not even sure a bobby brown theme song can save this one

Before I clicked the link, I thought to myself, "I'll probably watch it as long as Melissa McCarthy isn't in it".

---

I enjoyed her in a few movies at first. Now her act is getting old, and quick.

The sad thing about McCarthy is that I actually think she's really funny when she's not being female Chris Farley and screaming "lol laugh at me I'm fat". Unfortunately, that's the only way people will cast her.

This is so annoying.
I'd be much happier to buy in if it weren't making a big deal about being all female.

If it were a sequel/reboot/whatever where two of the ghostbusters just so happened to be female, It would be much more palatable.

This movie will bomb.

And it will bomb because no matter how much certain elements want and try to completely re-engineer normal gender based roles, it just doesn't work. We are wired they way we are.

She was hilarious in "This is 40" where she had a parent teacher meeting with Rudd, Ms. Apatow and the principal. Most of that was ad-libbed too.
