Hollywood require to make a newGhostbustersyears ago . 1984 ’s original was supposed to be a high - conception one - off for theSaturday Night Livecrew . It took five more years to churn out a sequel , which , besides Vigo the Carpathian and a dance toaster , was n’t as beneficial as anyone remembers . A dip in quality should have kill threequel theme , but both movies were box - office bonanzas , and talk of a new entry cropped up any time Dan Aykroyd had a picture to promote . The proposed trilogy - capper – which Aykroyd arrogate would have sent the scientific superheroes to Hell – never come in to be , andGhostbusters IIIstewed in oblivion . UntilBridesmaidsdirector Paul Feig took over .
This summerGhostbustersreturns , with a new movie serving as both a sequel and a reboot of the original . Feig recruited Kristen Wiig , Melissa McCarthy , Kate McKinnon , and Leslie Jones to slash on the proton pack and ward off a novel wave of pissed - off spirits , and left room for Aykroyd , Bill Murray , and Ernie Hudson to bridge the 30 - twelvemonth interruption with cameos . ( Original cast member Harold Ramis pass away in 2014 . )
Based on the first trailer ( above ) , Feig ’s movie expands theGhostbustersconcept for the New blockbuster audience . Gone are the gritty streets of New York and virtual shade - marionette enhanced by photo gist . Ghostbusters2016 is a living sketch – theReal Ghostbustersadaptation weshouldhave expected . newfangled personalities keep it fresh . Wiig , McCarthy , McKinnon , and Jones avoid mimicking their predecessors . They ’re just weirdie . The chemistry spills like ectoplasm .
