As long as Dan Aykroyd is absolutely no where near it then it might have a chance.

Needs Rick Moranis. It also needs to be twice as good as it did before the 2016 disaster.

The 2016 film was fine, certainly better than other reboots of beloved franchises like Robocop or, shudder, Point Break. Yet for some reason these didn't attract anywhere near the level of vitriol. I wonder why...

I agree with the Forbes piece on this being a...two sided announcement:

On one hand, you're rewarding a white male director whose last five movies bombed (and of those, only the two starring Charlize Theron and penned by Diablo Cody received positive reviews) the keys to a hugely valuable franchise mostly because he's the son of the guy who directed those first two Ghostbusters movies. And yes, unintentional or not, you're essentially rewarding the specific demographics who reacted in the very worst way to the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot with the thing they claimed to want instead of the... horrors... all-female sci-fi comedy. And yet, we have only ourselves to blame. Studios aren't charities and they tend to want movies that attract moviegoers and make money.

Still haven't watched John Wick 2 as the first one was a bit of a disappointment after folks on here had hyped it up so much!

We all know Lagamorph and Ironhide have awful opinions, but I would like to nominate Jenuall for a place in the WRONG WRONG WRONG triumvirate.

Well possibly my favourite movie of all time came top in the movie eliminator so therefore my opinions are now unquestionably right. :P

I did enjoy JW quite a lot, but some people or here were making it out to be the greatest action movie of all time or something!

Also his dog had it coming. ;)

John Wick was excellent fun. The second was that film again but a bit flabbier, a bit less lean. Still great, but not quite as sure of itself.

Still can't wait until the third.

Leslie Jones not happy about Ghost Busters 2020, she said the proposed film, which ignores the movie she made is like something Trump would do. I didn't even know he made movies.
