I just read that Columbia / Sony doesn’t want Ivan Reitman back to direct Ghostbusters 3. I don’t quite know what I think of that just yet. With me, remakes / reboots / reimaginings are a total mixed bag. I’m a Trek fan, and I loved the new Star Trek. I’m also a Superman fan, but I totally hated Superman Returns. I loved The Karate Kid, and I’m pretty excited to see The Karate Kid (2010), but I think it’s inappropriately titled.
Back to the main subject — the studio wants to bring in a younger director. Ok, fine. I just hope, that is this happens, he keeps the spirit of the original series. Well, mainly the first one. It seems that Ghostbusters II has a lot of haters (me not included).
We know that the original Ghostbusters are supposed to be passing the torch off to a younger set of Ghostbusters. I’m not exactly thrilled with that, but hey, years of working with highly nuclear equipment can’t be safe.
What do you think of this latest development?
