Ivan Reitman now says Ghostbusters should probably be remade? You with him?

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Let’s just poll up front…if you had to choose, would you rather see a GHOSTBUSTERS sequel or remake? Or would you boycott the whole damn thing?!

Well, now that GHOSTBUSTERS 3 is all but kaput (right on Billy Murray), Ivan Reitman has taken to the next best thing – which is to say the next most lucrative thing – remaking GHOSTBUSTERS instead. Apparently he’s serious.

When pressed by Collider about the nature of sequels and remakes in general, Reitman had this to say:

“Well, I’d like to go forward and make new things. I think Ghostbusters probably should be remade, if we can get it all right. We’re working on it, so we’ll see.”

Probably? If? Sounds like a game of odds to me. Of course, you know where I stand…if a competent continuation of the characters couldn’t be done in 1989, why then would it 2012? And who wants to see a bunch of gap model next-geners as replacements? Really though?

To hell with what I think, it’s all about your demand. Is there still a hungry market for a new or rehashed GHOSTBUSTERS movie? Make a case either way below!
