And possibly the guy from green lantern. Have to keep the same music. The original is still excelent even to this day. Cant wait.

You would forego that chance because you dont think they can? Considering that Hollywood measures Success with dollars, Star Wars and Indy4 were very impressive comebacks. Furthermore, for Star Wars it opened up an entirely new generation of Star Wars toys and marketing that wasn't there before. People criticize that there are "no new ideas left in hollywood" but then criticize that if they try something new on an old property it cannot be creative. Even you who mock that they shouldn't even try have a pile of ideas off the top of your head that could make it "good". But remember, no matter how good you think it is, someone is going to think it sucks. Do too much tribute and its people trying to swim in nostalgia - and it sucks. Or do something original to rejuvenate the franchise with a different tone and its just attempting to monopolize on the existing fan base with something that is nothing like the original. You can't win. But they can try. So what happens when a studio DOES put out a movie 20 years later that is awesome? You would forego that chance because you dont think they can?

Indy 4 was a flop, the star wars prequels were special fx shows, dirty dancing havana nights? I think the cash cow has been milked... its quite geriatric, no prune juice or bengay will help it. Building upon a plot established so many years ago only serves to stroke the memories of the people who saw it in 4th grade when the flicks were magnificent at the time. Trying to make it smirky with quips reflecting The Office is just a testament that the producers and actors are themselves hoping to relive the experience. A great GB sequel will either need to be super campy or a darker reinvention that can sustain a new story line. Hell, put Nolan or Whedon in as the director, kill off the old cast either mid film or in flashbacks, and enjoy watching NYC plummeted into a ghost-Armageddon for three movies. Watching 2 dorky scientists, a slacker, and the black dude play paternal roles, or relive the 80s is going to as big of a flop as a 3 mile Twinkie falling from the sky.

I'd prefer it be written by Ramis and Aykroyd but the other two are good writers as well. I could even learn to like the younger ghostbusters but I hope if this one is made, end it there. People have been talking about a third for 25 years. Don't have them talk about a fourth for another 25! I’m in support of a third film after I enjoyed the recent Indiana Jones.

Bring on the Goddamn Ghostbuster baby! I've only been calling for this sequel for years now. I'm even ok with if they pass on the torch to Carrell & Company, just bring back the original 4 for at least some of the movie. FUCKING A! Bring on the Goddamn Ghostbuster baby!

I recently bought the first two movies on DVD. :) I don't want the cast from 40 year old virgin in this movie but instead some other people coming in as the new generation. I agree with Karma that the "updated cover" will be a lame cover. :( Just don't make a cover at all and keep the same song intact! I’m looking forward to a Ghostbusters 3 with the original cast!
