Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2015 Here’s What You Need to Know About the New Ghostbusters Cast Eliana Dockterman @edockterman 5:25 PM ET Melissa McCarthy will star in the reboot, with Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig in negotiations to join her A new Ghostbusters movie is on its way — and this one has a female-driven cast. The Ghostbusters reboot has long been in the works, with many different stars attached to the project. At one point, the original director, Ivan Reitman, had agreed to return with Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson reprising their roles from the first film. But Bill Murray proved difficult to lock down. Reitman then left the film after Ramis passed away last year, at which point the producers approached Paul Feig to reconceive the project. Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat) will direct the reboot of the poltergeist policing movie and has cast Melissa McCarthy, according to The Hollywood Reporter, with Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon in ongoing negotiations to join her. If their resumes are any indication, these women should have no problem measuring up to the 1984 cast. Plus, Bill Murray himself said in an interview that he thought McCarthy and Wiig would be perfect for the film. Not a bad endorsement. I imagine the fat one is playing Slimer. Fuck this film, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2015 Should've put money McCarthy and Wiig being in it, was so obvious. They need a couple of things to make it worse now- Keanu Reeves in some capacity, JJ Abrams to become involved and Hans Zimmer to put together a score to play throughout the entire film.

And Seth Rogan, shoehorned in as a foulmouthed, overweight Jew that women somehow find irresistible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members chokeout Posted January 28, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2015 That's the worst possible cast I could imagine Is it having any involvement from any original cast member, writer or director? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METAL ON METAL Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 This is likely going to be absolutely awful, such an unneeded daft idea in the first place really. Shame because Kate McKinnon & (lesser so) Leslie Jones are really good on SNL. Melissa McCarthy is the fucking terrible go-to woman now for any female driven comedy, every joke aimed at her being fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Why cannot the people of Hollywood just lesve the classics (or at very worst) good films alone. There is no originality anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refused Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm guessing the all-female thing is a gimmick to try and draw in a larger crowd? They know the pathetic nerds like us will probably go and see it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Why cannot the people of Hollywood just lesve the classics (or at very worst) good films alone. There is no originality anymore. Because on the whole, people don't start forum threads about new intellectual properties years before they come out. We don't care about originality, we only care about our childhoods being raped or Christian Bale putting on the rubber Batman suit. If every fucker ignored remakes and sequels and adaptations and instead went to see original stuff, that's what the trend would be. Originality isn't lacking, people's desire for originality is. Plus, they aren't deleting every copy of the originals and replacing them with the new one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do tabloids print pictures of celebrities on their doorstep at 7am? Why does Hello magazine pay a fortune to take wedding pictures of every fucking nomark?
