Why is is so terrible already? They're trying way too hard to appeal to the opposite sex and not make it fun for everyone. Sony even tried to sue Bill Murray to just appear in it. Being that desperate must mean your film quality is already bad.

Melissa McCarthy

soiled it

It will be terrible rubbish. Making all cast all girls, does not equal comedy or a good film.

I thought this was going to get canned after almost everyone even some women being upset about a remake? Even the original Ghostbusters cast thinks this is a bad idea. This shows you how idiotic Hollywood is. They are never original and they blame it on the Consumer because they say we don't want original stuff. So they shovel shit in our face that we don't even want. I won't be seeing this movie. Don't care if I'm labeled sexist by liberals or anyone. I wouldn't seen it even if it had males as the leads since it doesn't even have the original cast in it. It has no Murray, Hudson, Aykroyd, Weaver, or even Rick Moranis. This is just a sick twisted joke to me personally. I grew up with the Real Ghostbusters.

watch one of her movies and find out. normally, she is fucking hilarious in my opinion
but in this case its just weird, just no.

There is one reason this movie will fail that is much bigger than how horrible I agree Melissa McCarthy will be. And that reason is gimmicks. This movie is founded on a gimmick. We heard it would be an all female cast months before we heard who anyone in the cast would be. This was cleverly designed to both test the waters and let the humanitarians dig in to support whoever it turned out to be.
As far as the original cast, Bill Murray didn't even want to do a good Ghostbusters sequel so I'll assume he's just sticking to his guns. Dan Akroyd has come out saying he loves the idea of an all female team. Whether or not he said that because he'd be crucified for saying anything else is open to interpretation.
But the final nail in the coffin was this story. http://www.blastr.com/2015-6-11/paul-feig-casts-avenger-receptionist-his-ghostbusters Chris Helmsworth, Thor, is going to be the receptionist. Get it? Four women with a male receptionist. It's a switcheroo. Give this director all of the Oscars for being the most progressive man ever!

I will be surprised if this even brings them out of the red let alone make a profit. I grew up watching ghost busters and this mockery is literally taking a shit on what we grow up with.

It isn't unique and it is something I will stay away from.

Yes, clearly my objection to cynical gimmick casting meant to serve no purpose towards storytelling but merely to say they did it and rake in the free publicity means I'm upset women can vote now.

I wasn't coming down on you bro
I agree with you
maybe it didn't come across well in my post

Sorry. Tone can be hard to read online. So it's agreed neither of us are seeing this. But we're on for Magic Mike 2, right?

Ok, then I'm gonna have to find another dude to go with me. I can't watch male strippers alone. That'd just be weird.

Information leaked on the web about how most of the Ghostbusters original cast thinks this is a bad Idea. Especially in Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson's case. The Sony scandal leaked Murray's real opinion about this movie and Ernie Hudson has the biggest balls of them all. Hudson came out and said he thinks it's not a good idea to tamper with a classic basically.

I honestly think you guys should only complain about this when it comes out. There's no reason for a gender-opposite Ghostbusters to be bad, unless the comedy sucks or they push the gender angle too much.

I'm not saying it's going to be great - I thought the Mad Max movie released this year would suck, but apparently it's worth watch. But to chastise a movie just because of opposite sex casting is pretty weak.

This is the root of my objection. That the early announcement of the concept and the further stunt casting heavily implies that they're pushing the gender angle. The first thing we heard about this movie was that it was going to star "four hilarious women" Nothing about who the women would be, the story that was going to be told, or if it would exist in the same universe, just the gender issue. And then do you think it's just a coincidence the perfect actor to play off them in the supporting role is a burly mans man? They lead with it heavy and it's not anyone's fault for seeing that coming.

My issue isn't that it's an all female cast. I'm sure there are teams of women who, with a good script could have been hilarious. Actually I read one really great idea that this could be a story where Ghostbusting has become a franchise and it's an in universe gimmick that this team is all female.

My issue is that they both lead and ran with it.

lord magic mike is so great and in so many ways
dont start that one

I'll be fine with whatever they do as long as they don't fuck up Slimer or the Ghostbusters theme song, or else I'll fuck them up.

More stuff, honestly cosplayers put more effort in a proton pack than this.

Oh I've seen people with those! They make a loud noise and blow leaves around.

Perhaps these new ghostbusters are busting leaf-based ghosts?

That is a heart in the radiation symbol. Because they're girls.

I will not see it, and I have been telling others to avoid it.

" The New Ghostbusters " be sure to miss it on opening day, and forever.

Now now. They might have some leaf-based ghosts to take care of and you don't want to miss that action now do you?

Who knows what those leaf ghosts might do if they don't blow them away. They might even slowly fall through the air and have the audacity to land on a rich person's car! They will tackle this problem by using gas-burning environmentally-destructive "proton packs" (otherwise known as leaf blowers) to protect the cars of the 1%'ers from being slightly inconvenienced.

There are four of them so one can stand at-guard at all times on both sides and front and back of the car, to tackle any leaf ghosts that might venture forward.

Bah! Women!

They're just cis scum all the same.

What this movie needs is an all transgender cast!

Now wait just a sec...

Oh my. I almost fell for the bait.

Anyway... I'm not thrilled about this film... the Terminator sequel or another Alien film. I'm not even a little curious about the upcoming Star Wars flick.

I seriously hope they don't make this movie two hours of "BTW I'm a girl ;)"...

What a sad, sad attempt at pandering.

Can't wait to watch it.

Dude, Alien 5 is something to be somewhat hyped for. We've Got Neill Blomkamp directing(District 9, Chappie, Elysium) so we'll get CGI, but not something terrible from it. Sigourney Weaver is reprising her role, Michael Biehn and Bill Paxton are also interested in joining again.

I was hyped for Prometheus. I was disappointed. And that had Ridley Scott directing it. HR Giger is dead too. His designs can live on, but sometimes a francise just needs to be put to bed.

Who's directing this New Ghostbusters flick anyway?

That would be paul fieg. director of bridesmaids, the heat, spy, and probably other movies.

Also, if Michael Biehn is going to be in the new aliens movie could he have a scene where he punches the guy who plays Kyle Reese in the new Terminator? Infact, can we just make a whole movie out of that?
