What possible reason could anyone have for doing a Ghostbusters remake? I mean, the original was in a class by itself, and I can’t imagine how anyone could top it.
But Sony seems to think they’ve got what it takes to do the job. They’re rebooting “Ghostbusters” and are looking at Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg to write it.
The studio has recruited The Office writer-producers to work on a new installment of the 1980s franchise that starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis as bumbling ghost-hunting scientists.
More after the jump…
The writing due recently sold a spec to Sony titled “Bad Teacher,” about a seventh-grade teacher who’s dumped by her sugar-daddy boyfriend.
The original “Ghostbusters” filmmakers, including director Ivan Reitman, and cast are aware of the project and involved in its development. Some original cast members might be involved, but the focus will be on a new cast of “Ghostbusters.”
Ok, so I guess it could be good, if they keep the feeling of the original movie and don’t muck it up with crude humor a la Superbad.
