I can just watch Ghostbusters
And what is this Ghostbusters universe? there is no universe without Murray and Akroyd and the black guy that saved the baby from the ridiculous hot nanny that banged Tom cruise on the L train
Yeah, I am afraid that the garbage that was the "reimagining" may have ruined some of my enthusiasm for more.
Finally watched the original Ghostbusters for the first time about a year ago and I thought it wasn't very good. Come at me, bro!

Lately this board has been good for challenging my aging mind and memory. Well done sir.MookieBlaylock said:

Ghostbusters....Ernie Hudson/Hand that Rocked the Cradle.....Rebecca De Mornay...Risky Business/Chicago
I'm assuming some new generation of paranormal hunters who pick up the torch?

Great news.
Really hope Akroyd and Murray are involved in some way...wouldn't they kind of have to be if it's set in the original universe?
Will be interesting to see who they peg for the cast. It definitely needs someone that can nail the Venkman-like humor (not a carbon copy, but in that same spirit). That's what made the originals so great. It can't be too serious. And I wholeheartedly agree, please keep all the forced SJW crap from the 'other version' out of it.

I think this cast would be awesome:
Alden Ehrenreich - the Venkman character
Jonah Hill - the Egon character
Michael Pena - the Ray character
Donald Glover - the Winston character

Yeah, with Reitman directing (and his dad producing), there's no way the original remaining cast members don't make some kind of cameo. Heck, I bet they're even involved in more than just a cameo capacity.
Since it's taken this long to finally get a continuation of the originals moving, that would make sense.TCTTS said:

I'm sure there will be a lot of opinions as it moves forward, but at the end of the day it's nostalgia from my childhood, and it sounds like they're trying to do it the right way...so I'm going to choose to enjoy the ride.

Reitman shot the teaser hoping to raise rather than answer questions: Whose lonely property is this? What became of Stantz, Spengler, Zeddemore, and Venkman? Why is a vehicle once used to save the world from demonic takeover gathering dust in the middle of nowhere?
This tells me the original crew will likely be back (save for Spengler, of course). I've also heard that they're looking to cast four teens in the primary roles - two boys, two girls - and seeing as this teaser almost has a Stranger Things vibe, I could see it going in that general direction (though a bit older, I'd imagine). We'll see, though, as that's just a rumor for now.
There's also no guarantee that it WON'T have a fun story or interesting characters.C@LAg said:this.MookieBlaylock said:

the company producing it is still the same one that allowed the prior garbage to be made. in fact PUSHED for it.
no guarantee it will have a fun story or interesting characters just because it is by the son of the original director.
But it is TexAgs, so let's go ahead and jump to that conclusion early and avoid the rush.
Starring...
Shia Labeouf

Sony's main franchises are Spider-Man, Men in Black, Ghostbusters, and Jumanji. They have a few other more minor franchises, but in order to compete, and yes, to keep investors happy, they literally can't afford to let any of these properties sit any longer. Notice how they have movies coming out for all four once again over the next two years. Sure, this is a complete a cash grab, but so is all of Hollywood, and if this movie HAS to be made, at least it's in the hands of the original and capable filmmakers.

Now that's how you do a teaser!
Just hearing the original score, seeing ECTO, and hearing the proton pack coming on...

Still waiting for a Fletch re-boot.
The last thing I'm going to bash Hollywood for is trying to make money. We're talking about mega corps here that exist to provide acceptable returns to their shareholders, I get it. The "cash grab" is just part of the business.
That said, I'm optimistic about this, especially after seeing the teaser.

Me, about 10 years ago. Then, Ramis unfortunately passed away and the rest of the cast couldn't agree on a script (well, Murray wouldn't agree).Hello there said:

Unfortunately, Sony opted to go with the all-female "reboot" that left a stench that is pretty putrid right now and has soiled the Ghostbusters name.
It'll take a lot to burythat reboot and start fresh. Sony finally admitting it was a mistake and never should have happened would be a good start.
They're basically admitting as much by "erasing" it from the franchise, with this movie.
Here's your cast..Urban Ag said:

Venkman type:
Egon type:
Ray type:
Winston type:
Louis type:
Slimer:
The original characters exist in this continuation and will likely be *in* the movie themselves. So I can't really see the filmmakers essentially making the next generation in the mold of the original. In other words, expect all new character types, and probably a younger cast too, if the teen angle is to be believed.
I could see this story as this:
After Ghostbusters II, things calmed down in New York. The original Ghostbusters capitalized on their fame, but without supernatural experiences, there was not much of a need for them anymore. Hence, the Ecto-1 being in a barn in a location where maybe Egon retired before he died.
Now, 30 years later, there has been an upswing in ghost activity and the Ghostbusters are needed again. But -- the old team is just too old to deal with the major fights -- like the one with Zuul. So, whey have to find teens (maybe relatives) to help. the old Ghostbusters train the teens to take down the baddie at the end -- a passing of the torch so to speak.
I'd be in for that.

Maybe I am in the minority but I remember as a kid the ghosts in both I and II were on the edge of scary, which made it more Gremlins/Poltergeist than Scooby Doo. The female remake was so campy and technicolor cartoony that it just didn't feel like a ghostbuster story.
Hopefully this new Ghostbusters will have that same edge.
