So, they’re having a sequel after a reboot? That feels all kinds of weird.
Marvel seems to have pulled off deagifying (is that a word?) Samuel L. Jackson, but it’s probably going to be a bit more difficult with Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd, who have aged much more noticeably. Harold Ramis will be even more difficult :(.
I wasn’t able to read the link, which pulled up a blank page for me, but the whole thing seems like a terrible idea.
The link says, “sources say Reitman has begun testing teenagers for four mystery roles.”
This sounds worse than terrible.
Just make a sequal of the 2016 movie. It was way funnier than either of the original two.
Lots of other links. Here is one of them. (It includes the very minor teaser.)
“Ghostbusters: The Next Generation”?

That might work if they fix the biggest problem that movie had. The whole point of Ghostbusters should be that the villain is a ghost or supernatural entity of some kind. Gozer, Zuul, and Staypuft were good villains, and Vigo had his moments, but a human villain that I don’t even remember the name of just didn’t work. Having a human be the main villain ruined that movie.
I ain’t afraid of no sequel.
FlikTheBlue, did you walk out halfway through? The villain of the 2106 Ghostbusters was human… for the first half of the movie. Then he committed suicide using his ghost-amplification-device, and so turned himself into a super-powerful ghost. Which was at about the same time in the movie where the original crew first encountered their boss monsters.
I found the 2016 movie just appalling. It was like an experiment in how to make the least funny movie with the most objectively funny actors. The original had some laughs, though in retrospect parts haven’t aged well.
Really, maybe just do something else. The world does not need more Ghostbusters.
I did watch the whole thing. I remember him turning into a ghost, and I suppose at one point Vigo was human, but this latest villain still sucked. A guy who wants to get revenge against humans because he felt bullied doesn’t compare to an ancient Sumerian goddess or even a medieval count who was a master of black magic and is still around 500 years.
Leslie Jones is not taking this well.
I hope they don’t get a Great Dane.
Buried down at the end after the drama
That sound like the four mystery roles are the new generation.
They really should have done this with Ghostbusters 2016 at least instead of wasting the original crew as cameos. Would have fixed some of the movie to me, but instead in true Hollywood fashion they wanted a blank slate solely because they wanted to make this an “Extended Universe” and didn’t like having the “future movies” tied to original continuity.
So in this film the ghosts will be bank robbers wearing rubber masks?
Does it? AFAICT it’s also being done with, for example, Spider-Man films, where Tom Holland’s Spidey is going to go on appearing in the Marvel movies despite the release of the very different Into the Spider-Verse in the meantime.
There’s been two separate Halloween movies that have been direct sequels to the first film after a series reboot.
Loved loved loved the original, was underwhelmed by the sequel, didn’t see the all-women remake. Unless the reviews of this new movie are boffo, I’m sure I won’t see it.
