I Don’t like the idea as most of fans agree to having a new group of ghostbusters. I am sure that the studios want to refresh the franchise and if they cant sign on the original cast.. they will creaate a new group of ghostbusters yet use cameos of the old ones to pass the torch. I would like to see a darker version of ghostbusters with lots of scares but at the same time kinda keep some comedy to it to keeps its past to it. Either way.. Ghostbusters is an icon and with icons.. you have to be careful not to screw it up… otherwise it will be lost until a great ideas years away brings it back to life.

I haven’t seen Ghostbusters 2 or Robocop 2 in a looong time, but I have two distinct “cool moments” etched into my brain: Winston getting an eerie “Winstonnnnn” instead of an echo in the sewer and the psychotic Robocop pulling off his helmet leaving a screaming skull. Good times!

“I will take a human life if they shit on BACK TO THE FUTURE.”

I think anyone would…please don’t say this again as it may bring about a curse…hopefully no one is willing to deal with the genocide such a reboot would inspire.

“I have faith in Aronofskyâ€™s Robocop.”

I do too. I think it has to do with the fact that the sequels weren’t that great (and even the original itself isn’t a visionary work). Aronofsky couldn’t ruin something that is already tainted by age.

As for Ghostbusters; I’d rather it not happen at all. If it has to I think a reboot may be the only thing that would work. It sounds blasphemous but the original cast are all way to old to reprise those roles.

Since Ghostbusters 2 sucked, I’m assuming that the Office writers can be a good addition. I think if they handle it as a passing of the torch film and not a reboot, then it might just work.

Have all the original cast make cameos, perhaps.

but why wouldn’t Dan Ackroyd do it?

It’s not like anyone is offering to make Dr.Detroit 2

(disclosure: I am just kidding, D.A is one of the greats.)

I don’t know why, but I have faith in Aronofsky’s Robocop. Like Batman, a different vision splitting up the franchise wouldn’t bother me. Ghostbusters is a different story – even with a new cast it should be set in the same universe with the same style.

OF COURSE IT WILL DISAPPOINT ME!!!! Ghostbusters exists in the 80’s…that is when they were great…they aren’t great now, shit will be screwed up if they make the movie now…right down to the fact that the film stock and the FX wont look the same. And fuck them…not written by Akroyd or Ramis, fuck the office. Man, I cant wait to hear a bunch of lame modernized humor coming out of Ghostbuster mouths “Hey Egon, remember when you tried to connect your brain to that cellphone” “that would have worked if Verizon gave me more minutes per month”…god dammit…shit on indy, shit on star wars, shit on robocop, shit on ghostbusters etc…

It has been said on these boards before, but I will take a human life if they shit on BACK TO THE FUTURE. why? because I have nothing better to do and its that important to my pathetic brain.

Well, a bit of both I guess. Star Wars I, II & III, Die Hard 4 & Indy 4 all disappointed, so I’m not expecting much nowadays of such projects. A reboot could be nice if it had some real talent. I’d sure want to see a new team consisting of Steve Carell, Will Ferrell, Jack Black and John C. Reilly.
