Jesus! Them ghosts are in for a fright.
I thought it was going to be an all female cast?

Not sure what to think of this.
Way to go, Dan ! Time to drown another cult franchise in a steamy pile of liquid shit.
Os still going to be better than Dumb and Dumber To.
Confirmation of McCarthy and Wiig were about as surprising as Tim Burton confirming Depp, Bonham Carter and Elfman for his remake of The Phantom of the Opera.
I'm fine with the gender switch, and I love Wiig, but I find McCarthy extremely grating and just hope it's not a vehicle for her usual schtick.
This should be the litmus test. It's the first thing Feig has written in a while, and presumably what helped him land the gig.
It looks fecking awful.

Ghostbusters 2 was pretty shit. Actually I watched the first one the other day and it wasn't much either. Take Murray out and they're downright unfunny.
I quite liked Bridesmaids but this is just gonna be shit isn't it.
feck off Hollywood. feck right off.

I googled Melissa Mccarthy Slimer. Shitlord google corrected it to melissa mccarthy slimmer! 
I think she should be slimer though, it's made for her. I wonder if the female Winston Zeddemore gets as many lines as he did?

I can already picture it. Melissa McCarthy screaming and making a funny face as she haphazardly tries to capture Slimer using her proton pack - the beam swinging about the room destroying everything. Then she'll fall over the slime and she won't be able to get up no matter how many times she attempts to. Then one of her colleagues will say something about how clumsy she is and everyone else will laugh.
Except the audience. No. They won't be laughing. They'll never laugh at anything ever again.

No, It'll be the token pretty/girly one who faces slimer. She'll get her hair and make-up trashed and be in tears, whilst McCarthy makes a sarcastic unsympathetic "humerous" comment and everyone else will laugh.

Ghostbustahs! A cast full of women? I'm sorry unless Bill Murray is playing Bosley with Cameron Diaz, Lucy Lu & Drew Barrymore then it'll be shite.
As for this re-boot, Kristen Wig so fecking annoying, everything I've seen her in she's played basically the same character. And don't get me started on the mess that is Melissa McCarthy. She probably fancies herself as a female John Belushi when in fact she's just unfunny trash.
Ugh.
Kristen Wig will always be the girl with the "slightly lazy eye" to me.
Who? who? who? and who?
Not surprised by the line up (McCarthy, Wiig and 2 SNL cast members is hardly revolutionary).
Dunno how I feel about it. I didn't hold out much hope for a sequel with an ageing Akroyd and Murray (and minus a dead Ramis) in the first place. Feig will probably make it a slick movie with some decent laughs. It'll probably be a car crash but still a notch above Seth Rogen and co becoming the new Ghostbusters.

Exactly. A male reboot of Ghostbusters served no purpose at all. That's been done, would only invite unfavorable comparisson, and there are far too many sequels, reboots and reimaginings made without an original take as it is. A female effort is a perferctly cromulent idea, especially with the SNL link, and even for those who hate it, it's inherent difference will make it much easier to disconnect from the classics if you so wish.
My only concern is Feig's apparent belief that Melissa McCarthy is the great comic performer of our time. And that the trailer for their recent collaboration looks ball shrinkingly terrible. If it was Tina Fey & Amy Phoeler instead, I'd be all over it.
I'm stealing that GIF.

Is it just me or when a comedy main lead is a woman its less funny and more cringe funny, as for this it can feck right off its more like nob buster than ghostbusters with this cast.
I'll have to check out that Mass Hysteria storyline later.
How about - and this may sound a crazy concept to some - thinking up a novel story idea instead of mutilating an all-time classic to wring some extra cash out of its iconic name?
(Ma)Scar(a)face with Meryl Streep as Antonia Montana? Blues Sisters (They're putting the book circle back together)? Commanda?

I like McCarthy but hate Wiig.
Wiig, Zooey Deschannel and Jennifer Aniston play exactly the same character in every single movie they do. It's always the same quirky, slightly damaged, melancholic outsider but with a slightly different face.

Sigourney Weaver and Bill Murray are the essence of Ghostbusters. I really have no idea how they'll resurrect this with such unfunny cast.
This shouldn't be even called Ghostbusters. It should be a spin off story under different name trying to create something on it's own rather than just leeching on the old franchise for the sake of another cynical cash grab.
It's probably gonna be the next Blues Brothers 2000... Pointless production, you watch this and just asking yourself every 10 minutes, why this is called Blues Brothers and why Dan Aykroyd looks so sad through entire movie.

oh i get it coz they is wimin lmao
It's been years since I've seen the movie, so it's all a bit blurry but was there a scene with a topless Sigourney Weaver. Seem to remember that was a very odd but 80's moment in the film.
Wiig was so great as Lucille Bluth. I want to see that again.
I can only assume this is going to be horrible. It looks very much like it is just a money grab, using the Ghostbuster name to get people to watch it. The cast doesn't look great either. A few people that are just annoying to watch, and not funny at all.
I like the Ghostbusters films.....
They're awful but I love them
This new launch has disaster written all over it

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
Melissa McCarthy is unfunny as hell, why would people want her to ruin the franchise?
Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading Places?
Yes indeed she was. Rogan was shit as George Bluth though.
Yeah, he was just as embarrassing as always.
Wouldn't surprise me if they get Miley Cyrus to remake the theme song. That'll be the crowning turd on this venture.
I think you are confusing Ghostbusters with Alien.
I'm nearly as annoyed by this as i am by the new star wars films! and that is saying something!
