They originals are going to do a remake? Is the baby now going to be all grown up and a 5th member?

I'd agree. Jones' version was alright for what it was....I liked it, but didn't love it. The comedy and character interaction just didn't flow and nail it like the original.I think the reboot failed for multiple reasons. I think one of the biggest was the fact that practically no one wanted a reboot. I know I didn't. I wanted to see a continuation of the originals. Another reason is because the movie moved far away from what the original was. The original movie wasn't made as a comedy but a serious movie with a lot of comedic elements. The banter, conversations and situations they found themselves in were chances to get laughs and tell jokes while still taking the movie and the plot seriously. I didn't see any of that with the reboot.
Here's to hoping that the new movie follows the very successful formula of the first movie.
Here's hoping they can convince Moranis to come out of retirement for this film.
I thought Ghostbusters 2016 was insulting and a cunt move.
Why do women have to try and take over? Star Wars, Ghostbusters etc. Why don't they make their own thing?
I'm sorry if Leslie Jones doesn't like it, but the fact of the matter is that their movie just wasn't good. It had nothing to do with the fact that it was a group of women, at least not to me. It just wasn't good as are most remakes/sequels/prequels, etc. I really had hoped it would have been better.
That said, I am excited to see this cast reunite but am worried it'll be not great as well. I guess we'll see.
The Robocop remake also suffered from that. One of the cleanest examples of a city in a movie, hardly has any actual crime portrayed in the movie(which is odd since the whole premise was crime being so bad they wanted drones, and there isn't even graffiti anywhere), and the end result was that it just looked fake.for me it was odd how "clean the set was" maybe nyc is like that now a days but the originals captured a real city. this looked like a real stage set
I don't care, the sound of the proton pack made me rock hard.
If she's calling it that then... it's going to be a great movie!!!Leslie Jones, who starred in 2016’s disastrous all-female reboot, has called the sequel “insulting” and “a dick move.”
He can go piss up a damn rope.I wonder what Paul Feig has to say?
Wait. Lemme get this straight. It's insulting and a dick move for them to do a remake with the original cast, but it's not the same when it's done by a new 'all female' cast? Which wasn't done in a vacuum. They specifically chose to do an all women cast ie not have any men. How is that not insulting and a dick move?

It's the first funny joke to come out of a female Ghostbuster's mouth."Dick move".
Lol, i see what you did there.
Reboots aren't made because people want it, there isn't much demand for reboots. The problem here is not the fact that it was rebooted, but how it was rebooted: Badly. If a reboot turns out good people like it regardless of not wanting it beforehand.I think the reboot failed for multiple reasons.

As I see it it's no more a dick move for the original cast (RIP Egon) to take back their franchise, than it was for the all female cast to steal it in 2016 to begin with.
The 2016 remake wasn't a terrible film. I mean, it was nowhere as good as the originals, but it was OK for an hour and a half of entertainment. In 2051 when the 2016 film is 35 years old, my guess is it will be all but forgotten, but we are still talking about the original 1984 film 35 years after its release today for a reason.
I wonder when Hollywood will learn their lesson and stop changing films with a cult following. They tried to blame the hate of the 2016 film on misogyny, when in reality fans just don't like seeing their favorite things messed with.
Writers, directors and artists need to stop seeing remakes of old cult favorites as an opportunity to "make the franchise their own". They need to color inside the damned lines and stay true to the originals and not change anything. Star Trek, Star Wars, Ghostbusters, you name it. When you mess with something old that people like, what they are doing is essentially what these idiots did when "restoring" these paintings:

Stop messing with old shit, and COLOR INSIDE THE DAMNED LINES!

It's why Winston was probably one of the most important characters in the franchise, he's the audience surrogate that steps in during the second act one things start getting more off the wall.
He's probably my favorite character from the first movie and I think he had the best part. My only gripe about that was that I wish he'd entered the movie sooner. Originally it was Eddie Murphy who was supposed to have the role and he was supposed to be in it from the beginning. When he wouldn't take the part and they recast it, they changed the character and cut down the screen time. Personally, I think cutting down the screen time was a bad move but I'm glad they re-wrote the character since Eddie Murphy's part wasn't as the straight man and the movie wouldn't have been as good.

Which is something I find odd about the 2016 remake. the 1984 movie had a black man stand in for the audience as the everyman. The 2016 remake with modern sensiblities cast a black woman and half her jokes were just barely... barely short of having her bug out her eyes and start howling "feets dont fails me now!". So more or less pretending to be modern an enlightened, but really coming off as a bit more racist. At least to me.
Plus the cameos were terrible. If only they somehow reprided their roles...Ghostbusters 2016 was really bad- fart \ poop jokes, non-stop pointless talking, boring plot, etc... The male characters are all idiots as well. Typical dumb feminist movie. Hopefully the 2020 version is good but I don't have high hopes for any Hollywood movies these days.

When I saw murray I expected him to reprise his original role and pass on the torch...not the bullshit they did. I mean it wouldve been fine to kill him but not with the idiocy that they did it with.
The only reason Murray even appeared was Sony were considering pursuing litigation against him due to his "meh" attitude about being in a sequel. There was a series of leaked emails of all the behind the scenes stuff that went on and that was part of it.
Thats fine but that doesnt preclude a better script.
LOL if the originals come back trans!Where has it been said WHAT the gender of the newcomers will be?

"It's been me all along!"
