Wow, they sure are dedicated to screwing over Scarlett Jo. UPDATE: Disney has responded, and says Scarletts claims are sad and disturbing, and that she is ignoring the devastating effects covid has had on film production. They also claim her contract did not promise her any such thing. First...

Sting was fantastic in the part though. :D

I think with Paul Rudd, there will still be plenty of humor. But the trailer does make it seem they are leaning more towards a serious tone, which I have no problems with.

That is a shame indeed. I get that it is a loaded term in the current political climate, but that was kind of the point.

Possibly. I believe Reitman senior is more active as producer lately, and according to IMDB he is still pretty involved with other Ghostbusters projects.

Yeah, lets go with that.

I'd argue it's a bit of both. It is a sequel, in the sense that it follows the continuity of the original two films. But it is a reboot, because it is introducing a whole new cast of main characters. So.... soft reboot? Requel?

I think reboots can have plenty of merit, when they improve on the original in some way, or help introduce an old franchise to a new audience. Jurassic World continues the plot established in Jurassic Park, but takes a new angle on the formula. What if the park wasn't a failure, and was...

I always loved the heart plug scene. The 80s Dune has a great aesthetic and a wonderful soundtrack, along with a lot of memorable moments like the afore mentioned scene. The problem is that the story of Dune is too big for 1 film, and it requires a high level of special effects to be told...

I saw Ghostbusters II in the theater as a kid, and it left a big impression on me. The winking painting and the severed heads in the subway, are pretty scary for a kid. The special effects were also mind blowing, and the same chemistry between the actors is still there. As an adult, I really...

EDIT: Tonguez beat me to it! Well, that was very different of course. Sometimes a name is still in use. No one would ever associate the name Ghostbusters with that old tv show, about two men and a gorilla. But since they didn't have the rights, they bought them. Filmation then immediately made...

I honestly don't know what to expect. It's a story a lot of us are probably already familiar with, so there may not be a whole lot of surprises storywise. And yet I'm hopeful it will still blow me away with its style, scope, music and amazing cast.

Yeah, that was it. "Used car salesman". Its a shame they cut the dialog about the nerve-gas, which is hilarious. But I suspect it would have taken the punch out of Venkman's line, so that might be why they cut it.

A new trailer for Dune dropped recently. I didn't see a thread for it yet. This is still looking really good. This may be the new Lord of the Rings if they get it right; a movie that we'll be talking about many years after its release. I hope this is that kind of movie. The casting is on point...

Judging by the trailer, they might also be paying hommage to the cartoon and the toys. I don't know if the cartoons are considered canon, but I hope they are. Because as mentioned, they expanded the lore of GB in all directions. Also, in case you missed this: The original GB seems pretty...

Payn pretty much sums it up. Say what you want about Afterlife, but it looks like they at least know what the original film was about. Whether you like the angle of expanding on the Shandor mythos or not, they at least know who Shandor is. I feel Rudd is the right actor to carry this film. I...

Then I have bad news for you. I really liked the Mandala-node plot in the videogame, and I liked that it tied the two movie plots together.

I can see why you might have that opinion, as the tone isn't exactly as in the original film. But I think it is close. I'm referring specifically to the more serious approach the original film had in regards to the supernatural. In between Murrays wacky antics, there was a feeling of...

That is offensive and wrong in so many ways, I don't even know how to respond. So because there are people on the internet hating on a film because there are women in it, I can't criticize the same film and need to distance myself from those groups of people? I'm not in those groups and I don't...

Agreed on Paul Rudd. He's great. Yeah, Finn is growing up fast. He can't play a Kid forever. And I hope they don't keep casting him as pretty much the same character as in Stranger Things.
