So it's official now:
http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/10/08/ghostbusters-reboot-paul-feig/

Paul Feig is the man to call. Feig confirmed on Twitter that he is indeed working on a new Ghostbusters movie starring women, and is bringing his The Heat collaborator Katie Dippold along with him.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that Dippold was going to co-write the project with Feig earlier today. In August various outlets reported that Feig was in talks to direct the movie. Variety reported then that his film would not be a sequel, but rather a reboot with female Ghostbusters.

Now it’s time to let casting speculation begin. The combination of Feig and Dippold raises hopes that Melissa McCarthy will be involved. After all, Feig re-teamed with McCarthy for The Heat after she shined in Bridesmaids, which he also directed. McCarthy is also on the list of women Bill Murray floated when asked about the reboot at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Toronto Star reported that Murray’s ideal Ghostbusters would be McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Linda Cardellini, and Emma Stone.

Feig’s announcement give hope for the future of the franchise, which has long been in question. After Harold Ramis died in February, Ivan Reitman backed out of directing the third Ghostbusters film.

Well I'm down just for a different POV and if I don't like it, I've always got the original sitting on my shelf:whoknows:

Well the problem is if you're branding it as Ghostbusters then you're putting alot of pressure on the entire production to live up to a certain standard or expectation

Without those subtle visual cues and bits of familiarity of the previous franchise then you have something thats completely foreign to the viewer which always merits hate and rejection

I'd be less likely to compare it and subsequently hate it if I didnt have any specific expectations

Interstellar could turn out to be Battlefield Earth 2014

But the current title makes me curious instead of anxious

Well I think it falls on the viewer at that point to compartmentalize. There has to be a line mentally where you say this is its own thing and that's its own thing. It merits hate and rejection because the viewer can't separate and look at it like that. I don't mind remakes mostly because if I don't want to see them, I don't have to. If I do see them and don't like them, shyt doesn't bug me one way or the other and if I end up loving it, that's great. I won't compare it and say is it as good or is it worse because it's new filmmakers and with this one being from a completely different perspective, I feel like that helps it out a bit in my eyes. I feel where you're coming from though, just see it differently

When a movie becomes folk legend because it took you on an adventure

Or however you may connect to it... it heightens that initial good feeling you had went you first exoerienced it.

Anyone remaking a movie is blantantly telling us...you can expect to see something you can identify with from its origins or backstory

If you dont deliver this in an organic or REAL way for the audience then you should expect the backlash to be much stronger than a normal unknown entity that just bombs at the box office

We...the current generation of movie/media consumers have the largest amount of options than any previous generation

We can see through an obvious cash grab (those of us old enough to remember the origins)

I can spend my time and money on going out for drinks, watching netflix, playing Xbox,

Fawk going to the movies to see some average halfass remake like there arent already 57648484959 million of those out there already

Again breh I feel where you're coming from I just see it differently. I understand your point but my brain just doesn't work that way anymore. The thing is a remake and a great one. The wizard of oz also along with true grit. There are bad ones and good ones. And for me I can easily discard one for the one I prefer. Shyt just doesn't phase me anymore
