If you absolutely HAD to reboot it how would you have done it?

WTF is wrong with the world?

Chris Pratt and Will Smith in his prime (not now) are the only people here suitable for the ghostbusters. Ryan Reynolds is too XD random and Adam Driver is only fit to play a rat ghost. But then your cast is too attractive and it's no longer realistic in it's characters

Rick Moranis has no interest in Ghostbusters, he's not a faggot who relies on past fame to boost his ego. He's the opposite of Bill Murray where he can move on with his life and find meaning in things other than "XD I'M AN (E)CELEB XD"

I wouldn't because the originals weren't funny at all

Forgot to mention,


This wraps up the original cast's stories without having to pull them onto the set and show they've melted. It lets them spend 5 minutes in a recording studio, take a couple of grand home while not over shadowing the new cast or doing what Cisbusters did where you cringe at all of them. This is the only way to do cameos that work in the ghostbusters setting IMO

...

These days Rey would hate the city, he'd ask why Stay puff was the only white guy here any more.

I would have told it from Winston's perspective. He is the most normal guy out of the bunch being a construction worker.
In a movie with strange shit and weirdos normal guys make a good anchor for an audience to relate to.

Keep the 'science conquers the paranormal' theme, add a 'technology is beneficial to humankind' theme.

Show how the proton blasters and ghost traps actually are constructed, tested and perfected.

Make Ecto-1 a Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 station wagon and towards the end introduce Ecto-2 (gyrocopter like in the animation).

Have a point of view of Ray where he actually sees through the goggles he is wearing.

why didn't they make more Ghostbusters game with a new team lead by the Rookie? This game was perfect with handing the torch off to you, the player and Ghostbusters fan, which is something no movie could've done, and would've easily lead to more games.

if I absolutely HAD to?…. Probably keep the story very similar to the first one finding actors who could play the roles. I'd also use puppets and keep special effects to a minimum so it was really impactful when they would happen. That's pretty much it.

I believe that game used a bit of the original script for the third film. Of course, that was scrapped for the new female spider-women didn't work out Ghostbusters film.

I believe the Ghostworld stuff was inspired by the Ghostbusters going to hell in one of the GB3 scripts.
