Who Ya Gonna Call? A New Ghostbusters Movie!?!?!?!

Ok. I’m going to say it. The latest Ghostbusters movie was dreadful! Just dreadful. I was so excited to see what Melissa McCarthy could do with the franchise.

No. It’s not because of the female cast….it was because the writing was dreadful. I mean….DREADFUL.

Apparently, there’s a new installment in the works, but it’ll ignore the all-female version that came out in 2016.

Which isn’t surprising, given that it’s being directed by JASON REITMAN, the son of IVAN REITMAN . . . who directed the first two movies back in the ’80s.

Jason says he has “so much respect” for the 2016 version, and would like to see those Ghostbusters continue.

But he explains “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ’80s happened in the ’80s, and this is set in the present day.”

What he WON’T say, though, is if anyone from the first two movies is coming back. “This is very early, and I want the film to unwrap like a present. We have a lot of wonderful surprises and new characters for the audience to meet.”

The three surviving Ghostbusters, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson, had cameos in the 2016 movie . . . as did Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts. The fourth Ghostbuster, Harold Ramis, died in 2014.

Now, Ghostbusters 2 was “no prize” with the writing…..but still it stayed on course. I like what Jason said though….the 2016 version was a “reboot” so I need to keep that in mind. Let’s hope this happens and Winston has a couple more lines. 🙂 – Parker
