Ghostbusters - All Female Reboot - Good Or Bad?

Ever since it was announced last year that Bridesmaids director, Paul Feig, was rebooting 1984's much loved Ghostbusters and making it an all-female team up, fans went FUCKING NUTS, and they weren't alone, I went full on pissed off and created memes showing my utter hatred for this 2016 reboot.
Now, I'm not sexist, but you can't have an all-female Ghostbusters movie. Have some girls and some guys team up even. Then the cast was announced and yes, love both Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, but the other two, SNL stars, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, don't know them, too big a job for them to handle. I honestly HATED this film before I saw a trailer or even just some promo pics, fuck this film!!!!

The cast got weirder and weirder. They cast Chris Hemsworth and I was like okay, maybe he's gonna be the male Ghostbuster we need because I love Hemsworth........NO, he's playing the fucking secretary. They're just reversing the main roles.

Original Ghostbusters, along with Sigourney Weaver, are all returning in small cameos in the new film. Weaver, we don't know who she's playing but we know that Bill Murray is playing some dude who hates the Ghostbusters, Dan Aykroyd is playing a taxi driver, Ernie Hudson plays Leslie Jones's Uncle and well, Harold Ramis's cameo agreements fell through.
So yes, didn't want to see this film.........UNTIL..........I saw the trailer and I was like FUCK, I actually like the look of this film. It's fresh, it's brighter, the women are funny, the ghosts looks brilliantly done, Kate McKinnon's character was sexy looking......everything just looked good in my eyes. Other people....hated it. It's became the most hated trailer on YouTube....YIKES!
Now not much is given away in the trailers, the lead villain is a more demonic version of Stay Puff Marshmallow man and he's called Rowan, played by SNL actor, Neil Casey. He's built a machine that releases ghosts in to the city, that much I know but other than that, just need to see it in cinemas I guess.

Then a second trailer was released just a few weeks ago, it was better, people enjoyed it a bit more but the latest trailer from just a few days ago, it's hit the ball out the park. This reboot, speculated to be a sequel and set in the same universe, could indeed work and kick-start a whole new franchise. Yes, there's a few times when you still think WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! But people, you just need to get over it, it's happening. 

There's still rumours going around about an all-male reboot/sequel with Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) and Channing Tatum (22 Jump Street) leading the team. I really hope this happens and that they maybe team up with the ladies for a crossover Ghostbusters film? Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd have set up a Ghost-Corps headquarters over at Sony, where they are currently working on new live-action films, sequels to this reboot, a prequel set way before the 1984 team, animated movies and new games, all for the new and old generation of fans. 

For now though, here's both trailers for this summers Ghostbusters reboot:

"21 Jump Street" and "Amazing Spider-Man" Stars To Become Ghostbusters?

Rumours have surfaced again over the on and off again "Ghostbusters" sequels casting. This time Emma Stone is reportedly up for a role as the franchise's first female Ghostbuster, well on the big screen anyways. Once again Jonah Hill's name has popped up and he is expected to be playing one of the next generation of Ghostbusters too. He's been rumoured to be up for the role of the adult Oscar, who is Dana Barret's son in the lack-tastic "Ghostbusters 2".
There's also a rumour that he's up for some different role in the film. The roles still a Ghostbuster, but he's called Jeremy and Stone is said to be called Anna and they're set out to be brother and sister in the film.
Obviously, take all this news with a pinch of salt because again, these are all rumours. One says Hill is playing Oscar all grown up and the other is saying he's playing Stone's sister so yeah, loads of salt people.
Filming is said to begin filming in Cleveland in Spring 2014 around the time of the 30th anniversary of the original "Ghostbusters" release date. Again, we'll see how this pans out because one minute it's happening and the next minute it's not so we'll see........

"Ghostbusters 3" Actually Filming Next Year After All?

I love "Ghostbusters" and would love a new film to get made, but I'm really getting sick and tired of keeping blogging about the on-off-on-off-on again highly-anticipated sequel. I keep getting news that it's happening, so I post about it. Then I get news that it ain't happening anytime soon. It's filming then it's not filming. 

Now there's new news that it is in fact filming next Summer after all for a 2014 release date. Again, similar reports have said that it's filming next year and then they get debunked so take this news with a MASSIVE pinch of salt and don't get too excited! 

It's been kind of confirmed by Dan Akroyd in recent reports that the new sequel will act as both a sequel and a reboot, but more verging on reboot after this report, 

“We’ve got a brilliant new writer on it and we’ll be passing the torch on to a new generation. We’re working on it to make it just right to satisfy our fans. I’m confident we’ll be in production in the next year.”

"Ghostbusters 3" Gets "Men In Black 3" Writer!

A few weeks back Dan Akroyd confirmed that a new writer will be brought on board for the next "Ghostbusters" film. Etan Cohen, who wrote "Men In Black 3" has been brought on to re-write the script for the third "Ghostbusters" film, which is set to sequelize and reboot the much loved 80's franchise.
 So "Ghostbusters 3" is back on track again, but the question is...............for how long this time round?

"Ghostbusters 3" Still Going Ahead!

While promoting his new brand of Vodka, actor Dan Akroyd was asked about what's happening with the long-awaited "Ghostbusters 3". He confirmed that it's still in development and there's a team of new writers on board to pen a new script. Akroyd says that it has to be prefect for it to happen.

It's All Over For Bill "Fucking" Murray!

Yes, fellow Ghostbuster, Dan Akroyd confirmed that Mr Funny Man himself, Bill "Fucking" Murray will deffo not be participating in the planned sequel to the 80's classic "Ghostbusters". He was rumoured to be a ghost in the new film, but it now turns out that he ain't going to be in it at all.
So what now for "Ghostbusters 3" then?
Akroyd said that the studio still want to go ahead with the new film wither Bill Murray returned or not. We'll just have to wait and see.

"Ghostbusters 3" Secretly Filming Without Us Knowing?

Comic actors, Jonah Hill and Kristen Bell uploaded pictures of themself next to the Ghostbusters trusty vehicle, Ecto-1, onto their personall Twitter accounts the other day. These pictures have left loads of fans wondering if "Ghostbusters 3" is really happening or not somewhere.

Jonah Hill and Kristen Bell were both rumored to be starring in the possible sequel, but nothing had been confirmed.......maybe this is it or maybe the two of them are just teasing us and nothing is happening with the second sequel.

"Ghostbusters 3" Confirmed By Dan Aykroyod!

There's been a lot of rumors over the making of a third "Ghostbusters" film. Is it happening? Is it not? Then Dan Aykroyod has said it's happening, then he's said they're waiting on Bill Murray's response. But now, Aykroyod has spoken out and confirmed thathe has the script ready and that production should begin Sping next year................wait for it.............WITH OR WITHOUT BILL "FUCKING" MURRAY!!!!
Murray was expected to return as a ghost himself, so he got a draft of the script sent to him months ago and still hasn't read it, so Aykroyod has confirmed that himself and the studio plan to go ahead with or without him................most likely without him.
He also gave us some details on what the long-awaited third film is going to be about, “The promise of Ghostbusters 3 is that we get to hand the equipment and the franchise down to new blood."
“My character, Ray, is now blind in one eye and can’t drive the Cadillac. He’s got a bad knee and can’t pick up the pack.”
“Egon (Harold Ramis) is too large to get into the harness. We need young blood and that’s the promise. We’re gonna hand it to a new generation.”
He said that the next generation of Ghostbusters will consist of four guys and a girl. Those were near-enough the original rumored ideas anyway.........The girl anyway!
I'm really really excited about another "Ghostbusters" film, even if it doesn't have Bill Murray in it. It's interesting to see who the new blood will be and see if they can take over for deffo and get their own franchise, "Ghostbusters 4" and "Ghostbusters 5" possibly.

"Ghostbusters 3" Scheduled For 2013 Release?

Sony look as though they may deffo be going ahead with the long-long-long-long awaited "Ghostbusters 3". It's been said that they released some statement saying that they are hoping that the film will be out around 2013.
They also look as though they may actually go ahead with or without Bill Murray, who is yet to read the draft of "Ghostbusters 3" that both Ivan Reitman and Dan Akroyd posted to him. It's rumored that they want to make a sequel/reboot to appeal to the "now" generation.
They want to try and keep the original cast members and have them train the new team. And then for the new teams sequel, assuming that would be "Ghostbusters 4", the old team would walk away and get on with their lives, assuming again that they would retire then.......

Who I Think Should Be In "Ghostbusters 3"

Obviously, the return of the previous cast members, Dan Akroyd (Ray Stantz), Bill Murray (Pete Venkman), Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore), Harold Ramis (Egon Spengler), Sigourney Weaver (Dana Barret), Rick Moranis (Louis Tully) and let's not forget about Slimmer!

And now onto the new team of Ghostbusters and other possibly cast members!

Ed Helms as the newer verison of Egon (the brains of the new team)

 Seth Rogen as the Pete Venkman type character

Paul Rudd as the Ray Stantz type character

Anna Faris as a new female Ghostbuster

Idris Elba as the new Winston type character

Jenna Fischer as the new teams secretary

 Either Kiren Culkin or Michael Cera as Oscar (Dana's child from "Ghostbusters II")

Jon Hamm as the Peck type character (the dick-head of the film who tries to stop the Ghostbusters)

Sharlto Copley as some demon leader

And

Kevin Smith as Mayor Lenny Jr (cameo role)

"Ghostbusters 3" Lies In The Hands Of Bill Murray!

For some reason, Sony aren't moving any step forward with "Ghostbusters 3" until Bill Murray reads the script and likes it. If he doesn't like it, then we get no third film. NOT FAIR! Basically the life of "Ghostbusters 3" lies in the hands of The Murraymiester!

The Film Sequels That'll Be Confirmed This Year!

Below is a list of sequels that hopefully will get the all clear this year. Because, none of these sequels that have been announced in the last few months have deffo been greenlighted by any studio, but here's hoping they all do this year.
1. Ghostbusters III (Dan Akroyd says things, but is anything actually moving forward for REAL)
2. Die Hard 5 aka Die Hard: 24/7 (rumored title and Bruce Willis has said that he wants two more films and a script is been written as we speak, but no studio have greenlighted a thing yet)
3. Iron Man III (no director now, but does have a release date, but it still hasn't been confirmed what's happening with it yet)
4. Indiana Jones 5 (Ford, Spielberg and Lucas are all wanting it to happen. Spielberg and Lucas have a plot idea, but no studio have confirmed anything yet with it)
5. HALLOWEEN 3D (Basically fuck knows whats happening with this film. There's a director, Dimensions want it, but they kinda haven't fully greenlighted it yet as well)

"Ghostbusters 3" Is Full Speed Ahead!

While promoting "Yogi Bear", Moviehole.net got a chance to speak to Dan Akroyd and asked him how the script for "Ghostbusters 3" was doing and he told them that "GB3" was on full speed ahead. The script is great and casting should begin sometime in the next month or so. AWESOME!

Big Ernie Hudson Don't Think "Ghostbusters 3" Is Really Happening..........WHAT THE FUCK ENRIE?

Ernie Hudson doesn't think that "Ghostbusters 3" is deffo happening. He's not that convinced. WTF? He thinks that Dan Akroyd is talking crap. Guess he's kinda right.
The cast and crew have been saying that the film has been happening for years. But I'm so convinced this time as Akroyd is writting the script and beginning casting. But I guess until we see a teaser trailer, who know's what to believe after Hudson's said this.

"Ghostbusters" Confirms Casting Rumors!

Dan Akroyd has came forward and announced that Anna Faris and Bill Hader are on the top of his list for potential future Ghostbusters. And yes.....he did say Ghostbusters. That means that Miss Anna Faris could most possibly the first FEMALE Ghostbuster. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

"Ghostbusters 3" Casting Rumors!

So, we know that Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson and Sigourney Weaver all returning for the new sequel, which begins filming next year. And we know that the film will have a new generation of Ghostbusters battling it out with ghosts.
SO! Casting has began on who will fill the roles of the "new generation" of Ghostbusters who will (I guess) take over and come back for sequels, if the third film is successfull enough.
At first, Ben Stiller was set to be a new Ghostbuster, but now he aint. Next was Seth Rogen. I would fucking love to see him play a Ghostbuster. But he aint as well. But rumors have began, saying that Bill Hader, Anna Faris and Will Forte are all attached to the film, possibly as Ghostbusters, maybe not. But I'm sure we'll find out soon, if filming is deffo the beginning of next year.

"Ghostbusters 3" Begins Filming Next Year?

Production Weekly are saying that the upcoming sequel to 1984's "Ghostbusters" may go into full-on production with filming beginning in May 2011 for it's 2012 release. AWESOME!

Ghostbuster Rewritting "Ghostbusters 3" Script!

"Ghostbusters" actor, Dan Aykroyd has taken the reigns and is rewritting the script for the technically not yet greenlighted "Ghostbusters 3" film. This is what he says about it, "I gotta be careful here, I don't want to hurt someone's feelings. When I hurt someone's feelings, I really want to hurt them. Harold Ramis said, 'Oh, I've got these guys, they write on The Office, and they're really funny. They're going to write the next Ghostbusters. And they had just written this movie that he had directed. Year One. Well, I never went to see Year One, but people who did, including other Ghostbusters, said it was one of the worst things they had ever seen in their lives. So that dream just vaporized. That was gone. But it's the studio that really wants this thing. It's a franchise. It's a franchise, and they made a whole lot of money on Ghostbusters."
And this is what he says is gonna happen to his character (Ray Stantz) in the next film, "Now [in Ghostbusters 3] my character's eyesight is shot, I got a bad knee, a bad hip-I can't drive that caddy anymore or lift that Psychotron Accelerator anymore, it's too heavy. We need young legs, new minds-new Ghostbusters; so I'm in essence passing the torch to the new regime, and you know what? That's totally okay with me."
