"there is a demand for Holtzmann, Yates, Tolan, and Gilbert."

The all-female Ghostbusters ride again?

Oh brother please don't be the fiegbusters again. Go with a new group of ghostbusters. Also keep Paul Feig away from this movie

That sounds sexist.

ya I am a sexist misogynistic manpig :lol: cause I hate fiegbusters.

This is a bit misleading. Person was saying it COULD happen and "fans" COULD expect it in 2019.

The first movie was unwatchable. What makes them think this is going to be any better?

Paul Feig has probably learned from all of his mistakes. Like, look at how much better the "Director's Cut" was with the 4 new dance numbers vs. the theatrical version.

Obviously, I can't wait for this movie.

I'm guessing that's a joke? I hope that's a joke. WTF!

edit: **** me that's an actual thing
This must be one of the signs of the apocalypse. This truly is the end of days.

Not a joke.

Make the movie with 2 girls and 2 guys busters and keep Paul Fieg away

Andrew, was "Answer the Call" actually better on DVD? I did want to see it in theaters out of curiosity but never had the opportunity.

I still wish we had a passing of the torch movie, but if there is a sequel, I hope it doesn't attract the same controversy and can be a solid flick for most.

Until then, I have the IDW comics and 360 game to satisfy my Ghostbuster needs for now. Which reminds me, if there is a sequel by then, I expect a better game tie-in. The 2016 game sucked badly.

It was significantly worse.

Goody, now I retract my first statement. :lol:

I do wonder how the reactions are going to go, and so far, I'm getting a chuckle out of them. Please let this sequel be decent.

It's really not clear at all that this IS a sequel, or even has anything to do with the female Ghostbusters. The line in the article about "Response to Ghostbusters: Answer the Call was mixed, but there’s no doubt, with the inclusion of the all-female team in video games and comics, that there is a demand for Holtzmann, Yates, Tolan, and Gilbert" was entirely speculative of the article writer. And not really accurate, in any case. They appear in the video games because the video games were already in development before the movie even came out, not because the movie was a hit and there was all this fan demand. It would have cost them more money NOT to release the games. They appear in the IDW comics because IDW wanted to use them (probably an attempt to cash in on controversy... smart), not because anyone was beating down their door for them to do so.

That article Andrew posted was dishonest and click-baity, but--

If they had a competently written script with a memorable villain and main characters that could actually be differentiated from one other, I'd give the new team another chance. The 101 comic shows that the characters can be funny and effective.

I like the OG 'Busters best obviously, but with Ramis dead and the others as old as dirt, it's not going to realistically happen. They'd be smart to look at what IDW's done with multiple teams worth of characters occupying the same universe/multiverse. Lots of possibilities for a sprawling, branching film franchise.

I'd also love to see a new animated series on the same level as Real/Extreme Ghostbusters with the new cast.

what do you expect Themarysue is a feminist website :lol:

this movie was the beginning of the end of free sensible speech online...and the start of everyone going bat crap crazy....

all you have to do is mention 'ghostbusters' now and the hate and vile and insults start flying one's way, and the man tears memes start popping up.

these are the kind of people this movie brought into the franchise, and sony still forces IDW to do a mini series on it?

if they wanted to do it on their own they would not have waited a year to do so...

sigh..

thanks man hating sites like themarysue and guardian and a few dozen others. you're not helping the situation at all ;).

I still don't get why Ghostbusters as a movie franchise is a thing. I understand the comics and all, but the live-action movies have no reason to exist without the original cast and they're all just too old now.

The new one might be what everyone wanted to see with the reboot to begin with... a new cast, some mix of male and female members, with Ray and Winston around to help them out and equip them. If Venkman can be there, all the better.

I'd love to see another movie with Abby, Holtz, Gilbert and Patty. A crossover with the old team would be pretty sweet.

Just give me Ghostbusters with the cast of Whose line and I'll be set.

I did not realize how badly I wanted this...

That would be absolutely glorious :lol: !

Yes, and one white, one black, one Hispanic, and one Asian. Ken Jeong anyone? Lin-Manuel Miranda perhaps? :)

I saw this yesterday. I said it's not surprising for movies that underperformed to get sequels. Most of the issue was the reaction not the movie.

I hope it happens and they connect it to the originals. It might not be a direct sequel but I'm sure they'll keep it and it's characters officially part of the franchise and canon now.

There's no way they'll ever write it off with all the hate it got. It would be seen as giving into to the controversy and the complaints.

I guess this means we can gear up for the 3rd entry of the Bay-verse TMNT?

Hopefully this new film wouldn't be more of the same drek we got last year. And if it is, at least IDW's still representing the brand in a good way.

This offers a clue:

If they are actively talking about whether or not they should or will do a CGI Egon... and this says they are... we can kind of figure out where their head is for the new movie.

Ugh. Sony, please stop.

Can they even do a crossover in a new one? Didn't Answer the Call establish itself as a reboot or could that be retconned?


Answer the Call is also not "terrible" I half-watched it in a flight and it seemed generic/mediocre but not horrible.

I would check out a new GB with the old cast & a CGI Egon ghost cameo. As long as it's done tastefully & his family's into it, it could be a really cool tribute to him.

At first I was against a CGI Egon when I heard it but if it's something small it could work. Like if he appeared on a video screen to warn the the others of a threat or something where it wouldn't be so apparent that it was cgi.

A ghost would be ok too I guess. I remember some art people made when he passed away. One had him going into a ghost trap but that really did not make sense. The team would not capture him and put him into the containment unit.

I'm still disappointed they're going with the alternate universe thing to merge them. It's alright but I would have done that differently.

Although a long time ago before the reboot Dan Aykroyd mentioned a supposed plot for GB3 about a new team discovering alternate dimensions. It fits. It is about the supernatural.

I posted in the other thread one way it could work. It could be the female Ghostbusters find out Gozer has made the whole world forget the original Ghostbusters ever existed, and gave them other civilian identities. The female Ghostbusters could snap the original Ghostbusters out of it, then they all team up to put Gozer down for good.

That or a variation of it would work nice if they don't want to get into alternate dimensions. I'd kind of rather they didn't, myself.

Ya I remember. I said the government erased people's minds but I like your way better.

I'm not against alternate dimensions. They fit with the series. The reason I'm against the use for this situation is I don't like that the original GB and new GB do not exist in the same world.

I feel it discredits both. As in "you're not good enough so we're making you into an alternate universe".

I know it's Paul Feig's fault for not making it some kinda continuation but they could try a different way to connect them. It's not that hard. I guess it's up to Ivan Reitman or Dan Aykroyd. They control GhostCorps.

I would incorporate Egon's death into the movie rather than use a CGI Egon, unless it would appear in a flashback scene.

Yeah, the thing about making alternate dimensions/universes to try and reconcile things in a franchise -- and this comes up often in comics -- is that you don't actually end up doing that. You just end up compartmentalizing them and making things even more convoluted.

you already put far more thought and effort into something than the people who made the last movie.

The ATC girls are getting their own series in October.

I like the movie and I've loved the GB101 crossover with the original team, but I'm extremely tenuous about getting behind any GB comic that isn't by Burnham/Schoening/Delgado.

I feel the same way.

Judging by the cover art, they're going for that "Tumblr webcomic with heavily decompressed storyline" aesthetic.

Abby and Holtzmann's facial expressions are freaking me out.
