So for over 20 years they couldn't get the "real" movie made, so it's time for "Screw it, Gimmick Reboot". Never mind that every single attempt to relaunch, revamp, or otherwise make the franchise relevant to a mass audience again after 1990 has been an abysmal failure.
Few things in life meant as much to me growing up as Ghsotbusters, so I'm pretty hurt by this. I know I'm a cynic, but I'm really upset by how quickly this thing got fast-tracked before Ramis's body was even cold. For the longest time, the desire among the original crew to "Do It Right Or Not At All" was the biggest obstacle. Then, when one of the co-creators dies, suddenly everything is a "Go" right away. It's like, "WHEW, now that we got THAT guy out of the way, let's get this POS rolling! Anybody got that fat, goofy broad's phone number?"
In fact, the fact one of the main people behind it is gone means it's much more appropriate and respectful to never touch it again. But, of course, that's never how Hollywood works.
It's going to be SO horrible. Nothing will erase the first movie or the second (which was pretty derivative but I still like it), but it's going to be frustrating having this turd stapled onto an otherwise-mostly-stellar franchise. "But all franchises that last a while have their fair share of garbage!" Yeah, still no excuse.
