Director Paul Feig tweeted the first look at the all-female reboot of Ghostbusters. Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon stand in front of the Ecto-1 in full costume, proton packs and all. Dont worry, it only took about three replies for a dude to get angry about vaginas. In better news, MRAs have more than a year to get further incensed by a movieGhostbusters is scheduled for release on July 22, 2016. Twitter

(63,263 posts)After all, people in 1984 didn't really go to see a "Ghostbusters" movie; they went to see a Murray/Aykroyd/Ramis movie.

However, it wasn't just Murray, Ramis and Ackroyd. The movie had great effects for the era and was also PG rated, when some of their previous movies (Animal House, Caddyshack & Stripes come to mind) were R movies.
I think it could work. Not only do they have a great cast, but Paul Feig has a pretty good resume as a director.

Ghostbusters II was cinematic genius compared to the utter awfulness of Caddyshack II.

NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)it is a cast worth going out to see. They're not Murray/Ramis level yet (who is?), but if 2 or 3 of them have more good movies together, who knows?

(95,337 posts)I am bored with Melissa McCarthy who essentially plays the same character she plated from 'Bridesmaids'. I get it, she does fat, slobby obnoxious woman really well. So does Queen Latifah yet Ms Latifah made it a point to get other diversified parts which is why I think she is so much more talented!
