Jason Reitman to direct new Ghostbusters in original universe

I... I... I don’t know how to feel right now.

I think Ivan Reitman would make a good Egon

If it is a good story and does not rely on queef and poo jokes it will do well.

Jason reitman is the hero we need!

I have confidence in him putting together a fun and competent story.

Eugene Levy, ftw

Need to just let it go. They want do desperately to revive the brand but it's gone.

Egon is dead. The remaining original cast is super old and fat and depressing.

Theres simply no way this will be any good or live up to expectations.

Young kids are not going to go see a movie with a bunch of geriatric Ghostbusters.

The old fans don't want to see their beloved heroes replaced with new imposters.

I'm sick to death we didn't get more than two real Ghostbusters movies, but that's all we're ever going to have.

Reitman worked with Bill Burr on "The Front Runner". He'd be great as a pissed off ghost that needs busting.

Not true. I'd go see a Ghostbusters with new actors if it's done well and reflects the well on the older movies instead of the mega-CGI scooby doo female Ghostbusters.

I dont disagree that they need to drop a 3rd movie idea, but the brand is far from dead. It's more popular now than it was 15 years ago.

When Harold Ramis died, they should've left it alone. I'm not opposed to the idea of an animated movie, but live-action should've been over with. Dan Aykroyd told me a good 10 years ago that he was taking information of fan groups wherever he stopped because the studio would be contacting us for promotional work and cameos.

Ghostbusters has always been his baby. Its come so close to happening so many times since the mid 90s. If you look at the extras on the Blues Brothers 2000 DVD, it lists Ghostbusters 3 in his filmography. They just never could get things off the ground whether because of Murrays hesitation, or the studios hesitation, or whatever else.

As long as Paul Feig stays far away from this, I'll stay cautiously optimistic. Regardless, if it has Ghostbusters in the title, I'll be there opening night. I was there opening night in 2016(which, on a side note, I found out a day before that I had an invitation from Sony to be in LA for the premier ??)
