Reitman, will direct & co-write the film; with his father: Ivan Reitman (the original director of the first two) to help produce, as the film is slated for Summer 2020.

The film, will be set in the original universe; and will be a direct sequel to Ghostbusters II.

Perhaps we should blast those speakers to be louder for those in the back?

I love a lot of what Jason Reitman has been able to do; and Juno was one of my favorite films of the 00's. I am all for this "Passing Torch" film, especially if this takes on a direction similar to Jumanji (and MiB as it's seeming).

The Hollywood Reporter is, um, reporting that the leads are four teenagers.

I think there are a lot of ways that could go very wrong, because so much of the appeal of the original two movies is in the "blue collar scientists" idea, but I guess we'll have to see where they're gonna take this.

The people who made GHOSTBUSTERS couldn't even make a passable sequel.

Let it die.

You know it to be true. The first one is great, the second one is bad, the newer one is weird, and this one will also be bad, because the concept only worked for one movie.

VERY happy to hear this. A "passing of the torch" reboot is the best way to go about this. It worked for Extreme Ghostbusters.

Also am I the only one who kinda likes GB2? Yeah, it's not perfect, it's not as good as the original, but it gets way more hate than it really deserves.

This more than makes up for the remake nobody wanted. Now we can really forget that ever happened.

Really hoping this does well so Uni can make a full-on ride out of this. Huge pipe-dream here.

I mean, there's a high probability this one turns out to be equally as bad.

I think GHOSTBUSTERS 2 is a lot of fun. No, it's nowhere close to as good as the first, and yes, it has a major problem in that, structurally, the story retreads the first in an almost beat-for-beat way, but I find most of it very, very funny. Peter MacNicol as Janosz is a pure delight throughout.

True, but there's no way it turns out as bad as the remake. It's pretty hard to reach that low.

I liked Ghostbusters 2. :shrug:

The remake shouldn't have been remade. Different filmmakers. That's a mulligan.

The reboot wasn't that bad. Wasn't any worse than Ghostbusters 2. Was just different. I don't see this one being any better than either of those.

I respect your opinion even if it's an extremely unpopular one.

I think there's little debate at this point the #1 reason for Ghostbusters I's success was the on-set improv ability of Bill Murray (with an assist from Harold Ramis). And Ghostbusters II was one of the first--if not the first--to use the "sequel that's really a soft remake"approach that never really works.

But yeah, still excited. Hope springs eternal. Wish UOR would pay attention to how evergreen this IP has proven to be--imagine a dark ride where Shrek is.

I always enjoyed it. Esp when the "on our own" song comes on. Still watch it and listen to the theme song to this day!
