I look forward to us all realizing that men and women are the same when both of those movies come out and suck equally hard
All-Male Ghostbusters Film is in The Works

I would say she should write it, but then everyone would be asking "girl writes what?"ki11joyace said:I'm an MRA and I demand 50 Shades of Grey be recast to represent meZhukov said:

Ot: maybe if we were going to bring back the original cast, and make it that they are training the next generation, although that would really just bring up more questions of "why are you splitting the teams up based on gender?"
Well thank god, It's about time men get their fair shake in film. I can't wait to hear those oppressive female supremacists get mad because a studio finally put men in a position of power.
But seriously, if done correctly, this could be really funny, Of course, it is Sony, so I'm sure they will cock it up like the idiots they are.

You know, instead of two movies people are now going to hate from the off, why not take Melissa McCarthy and Paul Feig away from the "all-female" one, can this "all-male" idea and stick Channing Tatum and the Russos on that first film.
Perhaps if they'd done that from the outset, it would've cut down on a lot of whining, from all sides.

There on a time limit it's been shown time and time again that in most cases a sequel needs to be out within 2 years any longer and people stop caring.
This is why Disney has till 2020 locked up in Marvel films plus all the new Star wars films. Why Warner has 3 Harry potter spinoffs planned and all those DC films and Universal already has 3 more Fast & Furious films planned.
Oh God, oh no, oh please...
Let it end. Someone please, step in and stop this fucking madness! Just chuck some phoenix downs at Sony's shambling corpse, just please... won't anyone think of the Ghostbusters?!

"The good news is that the Ghostbusters revival train isn't just stopping with the all-female reboot"
Oh, that can be interpreted in different ways.
But yeah, looks like they went for the all female one, because it'd allow them to make the all male one they actually wanted to do.

I think you rather missed the point there.kael013 said:
Sounds like the kind of lame idea film students get when they're drunkenly discussing old movies:
"How about we remake Ghostbusters, but this time with nothing but women?"
"No, no, no, how about this; we remake Ghostbusters but only with men."
"Wait, what about we make a Ghostbusters movie with latina women wearing hitler mustaches?
We need someone to come in and tell these people that remakes as cashgrabs and change for the sake of change is not something we want.
Hollywood should try to look to the future instead of just rehashing old movies with slightly different twists, and if that future includes male only and female only teams that is fine, just don't make it so blatant. It should be because the story allows or encourages it, not because someone wants to pander to a certain subset of the population, whether that subset be male, female or anything between or beyond.

Releasing this information before the first movie is out is messed up and I hope is not going to end well.
Maybe Sony is afraid that original Ghost Busters will not make it till they can cast them in one, hopefully Bill Murray will avoid this Sony train wreck.

Phew! That's a relief. I was dreading having to go an see a film with women in it.

I don't see how. All-female Ghostbusters = pandering to the internet activists calling for more diversity. All-male Ghostbusters, according to Zhukov, = pandering to MRAs. I was pointing out (indirectly) how whatever they did, someone was gonna call it pandering.thaluikhain said:
EDIT: Oh, wait, was Zhukov being sarcastic? If so, yeah I missed the point, but I've seen people say similar things about other franchises straight-faced, so my point still stands.
