Talking on the most recent edition of Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast, Reitman went out of his way to reassure those still seemingly traumatized by Paul Feig's all-female 2016 reboot of the franchise that his movie wouldn't be anything like that, saying, "I'm not making the Juno of Ghostbusters movies," referencing his 2007 Ellen Page film centering on a pregnant teenage girl.

"We are in every way trying to go back to original technique and hand the movie back to the fans," said Reitman, noting that his team painstakingly researched techniques used in the 1984 original film, directed by his father Ivan Reitman, for the movie's first teaser.
he apparently had to apologize for this portion of his statement, because somehow this was deemed sexist or something.
I interpret that statement to mean they're handing the series back to the fans of the original storyline. The long-time fans that wanted a Ghostbusters 3 with the original cast all these years.

Nothing sexist about that.

To me, the Juno comparison was more of a jab than this statement.

(1) I don't care about the politics. Make a good movie and people will see it. The problem with the reboot wasn't the women; the problem is that it wasn't any good.

(2) Watching that teaser, I didn't realize how badly I wanted a Sam Raimi directed Ghostbusters/Evil Dead crossover.

Maybe Sam and Dean Winchester pop in and become the new ghostbusters. That would go over well with you guys right?

They didn't do themselves any favors with putting the "I don't know if it's a black thing or woman thing!!" line from Leslie Jones in the trailer. Really set a poor tone from the start.

But I agree, having female ghostbusters isn't the issue. It's the quality.

If they add females to the team in this new version, but it's done in the spirit of the originals...great. Just put together good characters that focus on the purpose of the film, not making dumb secondary statements.

I think we probably covered it in the original thread, but any remake of this movie with new actors was going to be met with resistance. If you are lazy and dont make original content, and you chose a beloved franchise/movie, you have to nail it.

That's huge.

Can they just go ahead and line up Downey, Hemsworth (he can even make a joke about he had the weirdest dream that there were all female ghostbusters and he was possessed and they can all laugh), and Boseman and maybe get Evangeline Lilly as well?

There's no way that wouldn't make enough money to cover payroll. It would hit average Marvel success easily.

Rudd being cast in Ghostbusters makes about the most sense of anything you'll see across any spectrum of your life today.

I was gonna make this exact suggestion... so either great minds think alike or it was just a way more obvious comment than I thought.

The first trailer debuts Monday. Ahead of that is a new article and pics from Vanity Fair, which are very much giving off a Super 8 / Stranger Things vibe (even casting Finn Wolfhard as the main kid). And I have to say, the plot direction in this write-up is certainly unexpected, but actually sounds like it could be pretty great...

So it seems obvious they are setting up the two kids to be the new generation. But are we expecting Paul Rudd to also be one?

And somewhere in the movie Ray, Winston, and Venkman show up?

Who are the other 1-2 Ghostbusters?

TCTTS, you hearing any rumblings?

Could this movie possibly be a movie portraying the new generation through their journey to becoming the next Ghostbusters, and lining up future sequels where the actual company of Ghostbusters is started back up and reprises its old building?

This is my guess. I'd be shocked if the goal isn't to set up a new team/franchise going forward, with Rudd as more of the leader/mastermind rather than a "teammate" of the younger group. And yeah, I could see the final scene being Rudd moving to New York and re-opening the old building - something along those lines. Otherwise, I haven't heard a thing about this movie, other than Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts are all reprising their rolls. By the sound it, though, I get the feeling this is going to be The Force Awakens of the Ghostbusters franchise.

This definitely looks like Stranger Things/Super 8 and not Ghostbusters


Guess that could be a good thing, and kind of a necessary route after Girlbusters

I didn't have a problem with the female Ghostbusters. Kate McKinnon is the funniest woman alive and Chris Hemsworth was funny as the Mimbo.

I like it.

Ghostbusters 1, between all the comedy a goofyness, was genuinely creepy. The scene where they explain in the jail cell the developer of the apartment building and his cult following and their ties to Gozer.. it would be riveting sci-fi if not for the comedic nature of Ghostbusters.

I think going down that route again.. presenting what might be genuinely scary material in a comedic nature.. thats how it should be.

Has that mad solid black lady from the fake girl ghostbusters movie gone off on Twitter yet?

In any event, cautiously optimistic.

I'd see it more as Ray's grand kids than Egons though it gives a nice way to carry on the name. The farm house aspect just seems more Ray (his family farm talk)

Nah, the problem was the women. Not that women comedies can't be great. It's that they went out of their way to take a classic and said "no, this should have been made with women", as if the most important part of making a movie is about which minority group is included in the cast.
