The original cast are in this. So it isn't "too late". Nor is it any sort of reboot.

Jason Reitman posts first look at Ghostbusters 2020 cast

I can't speak to the quality (or lack thereof) of this upcoming sequel but the original was an amazing coalescence of talented actors, writers, FX, a great director and an excellent score by a legendary composer.
The original Ghostbusters is every inch a classic.
The guy who directed Up in the Air, Juno, and Thank You for Smoking?
I am curious. What "political bullshit" is hijacking movies lately?
As you almost exclusively only hear people make that claim when talking about "forced diversity" or outward feminism/"social justice" in blockbusters.
If you haven't watched The Leftovers yet....that's top Carrie Coon right there. She's not in the first few episodes much though.

It's a 7/10 on a good day. Most of the time I'd lean toward a 6. That doesn't mean it can't also be a classic.
hopefully we can dispense with the dumb narrative that the existence of this movie constitutes some anti-SJW reaction to the 2016 film
Maybe they are confusing him with another "Son of a famous comedy movie director that also happens to be a director", Max Landis.
Those damn nostalgia-obsessed weirdos. Not like us Ghostbusters fans!
Coon is younger than Torv. You monster.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. People bitching about "forced diversity" in shit and then turning the conversation about the quality of a film into some fight between the "alt-right" and "SJWs." I don't give a fuck about this feud. I think more representation is a good thing, also it doesn't in and of itself make a film good. But if you point out that you like one of these "controversial" films you get called a cuck, or conversely if you say you don't like something like the Ghostbusters remake you see indignant responses like some in this thread.
I really don't care about all that. The ghostbusters reboot sucked. The Last Jedi had a dumb plot and that stupid marvel humor I hate, and the only redeeming quality *was* its characters! I liked purple hair lady. So I'm glad there's more representation, and it's a shame film quality hasn't kept up IMO. But if you dare say something bad about these films lately it's like oh so you're a bigot? No man it's just not a good movie.
I get why they did what they did with the Ecto-1 in GB2016, but it still ended up so plain looking. So happy the original is back.
Also love the turret seat like the original TMNT Turtle Van!

Pretty much my thoughts. I'm not a big fan of any of his movies. That being said, if reception is positive, I'd be interested in seeing this.
Nah, Ghostbusters is often cited even in screenwriting classes as a damn solid script with solid story fundamentals and very good dialogue.
Pro-tip too ... most of the "classics" are legit good movies, you can't be popular for 30+ years by just "faking it". There's something obviously working there.
I often get Reitman and Ramis mixed up in my head, so I sympathize.
Noone cares about your garbage opinions about a classic movie...
On topic: any sequel trying to emulate the originals or even a proper 3rd movie is never going to meet expectations, so doing a more low-key offshoot like this is probably the best route they could have taken.

That movie really soured on me with age. It's definitely not bad but it feels like a sheltered nineteen year old's idea of what having a job and being an adult is like.
Hotter take: I really enjoyed Ghostbusters 2016 and it's at least as good as Ghostbusters 2.
Ghostbusters reboot was mediocre improv comedy with nothing tying it to the legacy of the original?
Juno, Thank You for Smoking and Up in the Air are excellent movies. What are you talking about?
Im asking how he knows this movie will be better based off this one cast shot einstein.
Maybe he's read more info about the movie than literally the one photo and all indicators are that it will jive with the original more?
There's other info out there you know?
I definitely wouldn't make any claims about the quality of the film yet though.
But seeing as Jason Reitman has made some of my absolute favorite drama/comedies... I'd say the indicators are probably pretty good.
I loved it, and it's a damn shame the post-credits scene will never get to lead anywhere...
guess after leslie jones killed it last time they're not even bothering with POC this time around then?
let em know
let em know
Winston will be in the movie in some fashion. The primary focus of the story seems to be around the grandchildren of the original members (my gut is telling me the main girl will be either Egon or Ray's granddaughter, but more likely Egon's), but we still don't know the full cast at this time. Just that the surviving three OG Busters and Sigourney Weaver will be in it.
He's no Paul Feig, the best film director of the century! Haven't you seen Ghostbusters 2016? The defining film of our generation! The comedy to kill all comedies!
Barf.
That movie actually made me angry. It had such a good cast, and it was one of the most bland, unfunny things I have ever seen. It could have been SO good with the core cast that they had.
I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would but it's not a good movie at all lol
