Quoted from CrazyLevi:please god just let this franchise die.
ONE GOOD MOVIE.
And it's still stumbling along 35 years later like a zombie?
Errr...a ghost!!!
Good old Hollywood studio money grab... this is unfortunately where we are with most if not all of the old/classic franchises out there.
Reboot reboot reboot until they suck every last red cent from it... it doesn’t matter where it ends up.
Quoted from ktownhero:It's not a reboot, it's a sequel. Stated in the article.
Doesn’t matter ... call it whatever... the net effect is the same.
There is always a chance it could be good... but rarely is this the case.
Quoted from fisherdaman:The last terminator movie should be about someone from the future traveling back in time to prevent them from making more terminator movies....
This made me spit my coffee out !!!!
It’s unfortunate... bottom line is that is less risky for a studio to recycle their property than to invest in creating something new and fresh... it’s corporate thinking/marketing/business model.... and all the big studio corporations own all of the blockbuster franchises.
This has been going on for a long time in the industry but it really has become a bit of an epidemic in the last 10-15 years. I mean heck .... you can see its effect on pinball... look at how many times licenses have been re-cycled.
Quoted from ktownhero:It's literally being created by the son of the original creator of Ghostbusters. It's not your typical situation where a studio is just buying up licenses and remaking them for easy cash grabs.
Yeah, actually it's not. If there is any chance of it being a decent follow-up to the first two, this is it.
Literally created by SONY (Columbia) studios... they own it... they finance it... they drive the IP... they decide how it is to be made. I like your optimism though. Personally I would like it to be good... who knows.
Quoted from ktownhero:Well, that's just a dumb statement.
So what you are saying is that not only is it being created by the son of the original creator, but it's also being created by the SAME STUDIO THAT CREATED THE ORIGINAL?
Sweet.
Nope not the same ...Ghostbusters came out in 86... when Columbia was a smaller independent company... SONY entertainment came along in 88 and slurped them up.
SONY Entertainment is the same studio of today that thought the 2016 reboot was a good idea.
Anyway... big companies have to play by corporate rules. Again ... it’s just the state of the situation with the studios. There is a possibility it could be a hit... I hope it is.
