I don't have much interest in a reboot of Ghostbusters, but Amy Poehler would be perfect for playing Ray. Having the film as a sequel and not a reboot would actually introduce more story possibilities. Imagine a world where it is proved that ghosts are real, and we have the technology to catch and study them. The Ghostbusters would have become a massive corporation, with franchises worldwide. Like any big corporation it has become stuck in its ways and thinks it knows the best way of doing things. Introduce our new team, who are running a struggling franchise because they don't play by the usual rules. The fact they do things differently means they uncover a threat, others don't believe them and when it's finally proven to be real dismiss them from being involved in the solution. The new team saves the day, are celebrated, cue cameo from one or more of the old cast and roll on the sequel(s).

I think my python with a reboot is that the original was really a lightening in the bottle moment. It was a big budget blockbuster film with huge special effects while also being a fun and inventive comedy. I just don't know if a remake can capture what made the original Ghostbusters.

I am gonna say it, I liked Melissa McCarthy in The Heat. The movie looked like an absolute train wreck, and in a lot of ways it was, but on a really base level, watching her yell and swear and say filthy poo poo was legitimately enjoyable. That kind of angry character being recruited by some bookish scientists to help them fight ghosts with the equipment they built? I'm not saying it's poetry, but I'd be fine with it.

Melissa McCarthy is actually really good at physical comedy, and absolutely atrocious in the "haha fat girl did something outrageous" type of comedy she is normally in. Gilmore Girls is the first thing McCarthy did of note, and they managed to do her justice, by making her character very sweet, but excitable and accident-prone. I could see that working really well in the Louis Tully-type role, though it would get pretty grating making her one of the top four.

You realize you're literally inventing arguments and then being angry at them right? Like, what the gently caress does it matter what gender the ghostbusters are? It's been clear for ages now we were literally never going to get the original busters together again, so what does it matter what gender the reboot cast is?

Thats the million dollar question. Murray is open to the idea as of that press junket for St. Vincent/or was it the TIFF event?, Aykroyd hasn't commented publicly on the all female ghostbusters idea that I know of. Though one would assume that Reitman stepping down means he's in for whatever Sony wants, and who knows whats up with Ramis' portion of the controlling interests-- if Ramis' portion of ownership is aligned with Sony then it doesn't matter what Aykroyd thinks.

It is believed they do not. Sony has taken the position that Murray gave up his right to veto the project by refusing to read GB3 (so he hasn't explicitly rejected it -- Sony says this was tacit approval), and because this is a total reboot they don't have to go through Aykroyd. The funniest thing to me is if this were the tipping point that made Murray say, "What the hell, I'll do it." The meltdown from Aykroyd and Reitman and Hudson would be incredible. "YOU COULD HAVE SAID THAT FIFTEEN YEARS AGO! YOU COULD HAVE SAID THAT BEFORE HAROLD DIED!"

My anger is more at this being a reboot than the all-women thing. Aisha Tyler, Amy Poehler, maybe Tina Fey or Isla Fisher, we've got something. But add me to the no Melissa McCarthy bandwagon. I just don't find her funny. (Oh, and put Jon Hamm in the Sigourney Weaver type role. That's a loving movie right there.)
