RE: Ghostbusters finally has a cast… and it’s AWFUL
— Posted by Elliot Hopper
The characterization of the ghostbusters was what made it fun, yet this all female cast is like you said extremely predictable. I like Wiig, I think she’s actually cute and sheepishly funny. Not in a way to say she is sheepish, but that her comedy isn’t flamboyant a McCarthy, who I fully expect to be doing fat jokes throughout the movie like “why are there so many stairs in this building” or “why are these proton packs so heavy” type of thing. And part of her hilarity comes from the outright vulgarity for example The Heat. Even thinking about that, Sandra Bullock could’ve been a much more interesting casting job.
But the predictability here, especially if it’s a reboot, to me, is pretty bland. If a modern representation were to happen, given all the horror or supernatural films we have today. This new film should focus more on the lore, with a simple nod of say a cameo of Ray and Winston perhaps teaching or passing the torch. It doesn’t necessarily have to be blatant, but it should be smart. I haven’t watched the league yet, but I’m with you in the premise it should’ve been young students or the like. Maybe mythbusters or paranormal chasers and playing to that angle. The all female cast feels stereotypical even with its ethnicity. I honestly can’t help but feel we’ll be getting the exact same original movie just with females.
I dunno, after the ghostbusters video game ended up being the real sequel to the films. I figured this franchise was already long and buried.
