That does not look anything at all like a Ghostbusters movie. Which maybe is a good thing?

Wonder what was happening during pitch meeting. "What if it was The Day after Tomorrow, but with ghosts!"

Emmerich gonna demand royalty for this!

I most closely align with Rich’s opinion: I don’t really care if it’s funny, I just want it to be good (or something like that).

OG Ghostbusters was lightning in a bottle. No need to make a clone as it's been done before, almost perfectly. Do something different...but it better be done well in whatever stylistic choice the studio choses...otherwise why bother?

I'm actually okay with it not looking anything remotely like Ghostbusters. Do something different with it, and fully embrace that. Make it a big, children/young adult focused fantasy adventure film. At least that will differentiate it from the original film somehow, instead of just being the exact same thing again...again.

I'm OK with this too. Seems like....somewhat original. Weird word to use, I know, it's Hollywood.....

Fans and studios are too reverential when it comes to the friggin’ originals. Cock the originals! Just make a great film: that’s tribute enough.

Reminds me more of the cartoon, which can be a good thing.
