Let's discuss how new ghostbusters could've been handled better.
>Make it Ghostbusters 3 and not a remake
>Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd return as original characters
>They are passing the torch to new cast members like spock did in Star Trek 2009
>New team is mostly males with 1-2 females
>Movie has dark and more serious tone with jokes mostly coming out from banter between cast members
>>
no one cares what you think James Rolfe

this movie is going to be a cult favorite, no matter what the patriarchy says.
>>

If I did Ghostbusters 3 I'd have a ghost that is summoned when OP reveals he's a total sperg and posts the most retarded and immature ideas for a movie possible

>new team is mostly males with 1-2 females :^)

>>
>>69751699

Option 1: Pick women that are actually funny like Anna Faris, Tina Fey, etc.

Option 2: DUDE

Seth Rogen, James Franco, Paul Rudd, amd Craig Robinson

Directed by Apatow
>>
>>69751699

the new movie could still work.

the final battle happens, the girls get defeated and they're about to get stomped on, you'd have to have thor there, so it doesn't look sexist. just in the spin of death you hear a proton pack start up, and it pans up to all 4 ghostbusters with egon as a ghost, blast the main baddie, with already combined crossed stream. the giant blast destroys the giant, and bill murray says "the one, the only, ghostbusters" cut to scenes of people in the streets clapping and cheering.
>>
>>69751699
passing of the torch is not a reboot its a sequel, but yes a passing of the torch film would have been perfect

Movie exactly as shown in trailers. Hemsworth just ducks their shit up. The females are about to die...

They save the day...SAVIN THE DAY!

had an idea for a larry david movie once:

>does convince them to abduct Ted Danson
>half the movie is larry and ted making fun of shit on the space ship.
>aliens get tired of endless cynacism and banter
>send larry back, ted stays with aliens to fuck aone that is a shapeshifter
>larry's wife asks how it all was

Honestly, Ghost Venkman could probably carry an entire movie on his own. Just phasing around, being a dick to everyone.

Sounds like Groundhog's Day Spooky Edition.

>>69751699
They could have just casted more interesting actresses like Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence, Michelle Rodriguez, Scarlett Johansson.

Make Ghostbusters turn into a franchise and you get a video of Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray explaining how to use the proton packs and such.

Charlie, Mac, Dennis, and Terry Crews as the new generation of Ghostbusters

Stantz, Venkman, and Zedd are mentoring them, they are getting old. Egon died in line of duty.

Slimer is now trained like a dog.

Sweet Dee as receptionist.

Paranormal activity stopped around NYC and the Ghostbusters are seen as once useful and now unnecessary, except by a few die-hard fans. Paranormal activity begins again and a more cynical population refuse to believe it.

Main villain is a "skeptic" trying to convince everyone nothing out of the ordinary is happening.

Movie starts off slow with goofy training exercises with very low-tiered ghosts and steamrolls into an encounter bigger and more malevolent than anything the Ghostbusters have been involved with. Villain ends up being an actual demon from Hell.

Whenever I see Ghostbusters Trailers, I have to cut out everything I do not like... Movie will be the same. I guess this will become a new hobby, just to reduce movies to the scenes that I like... and watch them alone.

Add a character, maybe it's the main villain or not necessarily a villain, who argues about "ghost rights" and the ethics of busting ghosts and imprisoning them.

Hey do they have a permanent way of getting rid of ghosts, or did they just put them in that big containment unit that the govt forced them to pull the plug on, which released all the ghosts or something??

Duh new gostbustahs pass le tuhch 2 da ol ones and den more gosts come to fite

This shit isnt shakespeare retard. Just write some funny jokes and toss in nonsense 'lore' meant for laughs to explain the plot and then fucking go. That at any point someone thought fucking Ghostbusters required critical thinking about the plot of a third installment is a FUCKING IDIOT

A FUCKING IDIOT
Ghostbusters 3 wasnt made this whole time because no one wanted to do it. We dont need your fanfiction!

Why? Men can be great parental figures.

The issue with Ghostbusters is that it's a comedy and women are physically incapable of being funny. These is not my opinion - This is fucking science.

If we are sticking with reverse gender gimmick:

Make it a sequel.

New team - two females. Let's even stick with casting McCarthy and McKinnon.

There are literally hundreds of ghostbuster teams working in modern New York. People just buy proton packs and ghost hunting licences now.

McCarthy and McKinnon are literally Fembusters - being the only female ghostbuster team is their gimmick. They are barely scraping through.

They take a call from an old lady, ghostbusting ensues, they learn that New York is in mortal danger - a new bad thing is coming. Nobody believes them. They decide to consult the man who owns the Ghostbusting franchise. He refuses them, and is revealed to be Walter Peck, who purchased patents from original Ghostbusters years ago, and turned it into business. McCarthy and McKinnon set out to find the members of the original team.

They eventually find Peter Venkman, who lives in practical poverty. He is grumpy - Peck basically swindled them all on a deal, and he want's to do nothing with ghost hunting anymore, but eventually gives them advice, how to defeat the bad thing.

During the final confrontation with Big Bad thing they try to fight it on their own, but fail. They need more people. They call every GB team in NY - hundreds of ghostbusters join them, McCarthy takes on commanding duties, they all work together. No effect. McKinnon understands, that simply doing what Venkman told them is not enough - they need to do something very dangerous (much more dangerous, than crossing the streams). All ghostbusters agree, they are doing the dangerous thing, WORKING TOGETHER. The Big Bad is hurt, but struggling. Suddenly, 3 more proton streams join the rest - its Venkman, Stantz and Zeddemore in their old uniforms. The Big Bad is finally defeated. Everyone is covered in slime. McCarthy and McKinnon are celebrated by other ghostbusters as heroes.

Peck is revealed to be the mastermind behind the Big Bad and arrested. He tried to summon more ghosts to make his business more profitable.

The final scene is McCarthy and McKinnon, now successful, moving into the firehouse building and discussing adding more members to the team.

I legitimately thought that Ghostbusters video game was Ghostbusters 3.

Wasn't it an adaptation of an actual script?

Pick a director who can do drama / comedy
Make it actually scary while also being slightly cheesy

Never make it in the first place.

>>69761193
it was Ghostbusters 3. it's canon.

if /tv/ could meet up and form a scriptwriting, I guess circle like the doujin circles in japan, it would be capable of writing the best movies ever.

give us casting, scriptwriting and choice of directors, and we would create a new golden age of film.
