(Rolling Stone) Just three months after it was announced that Bridesmaid director Paul Feig would reboot the Ghostbusters series with an all-female cast, the four actresses who will don the proton packs have been revealed: Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy and current Saturday Night Live stars Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. Feig tweeted his Ghostbusters casting news Tuesday night along with the film’s scheduled release date: July 22nd, 2016.
If its too good to be true it probably is. If everyone’s leaning one way in Vegas, you go the other way. They found probably the 4 funniest women in Hollywood right now so it makes sense that the formula works right?
Fuck no.
The real Ghostbuster’s was great because Billy Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Rick Moranis made them great. They were the Ghostbusters. Anything Hollywood threw at us was bound to be a disaster because sometimes the nostalgia of a great movie cannot be recaptured. That fact is only going to be exposed even more when you look at the manner in which they are rebooting the franchise.
It’s a known fact that men are better than women. Today a color coded map came out showing how much more money men make than women in each state.
We live in a world where men are more valuable than women. And in a case where the male cast reboot would have sucked, we can only extrapolate that an all woman cast will also flop.
