Paul Feig has shared more information on the upcoming Ghostbusters movie, stressing it will be a complete reboot that won't even feature cameos of the original characters.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the director confirmed we should expect a new group of characters set in a world that may seem familiar but features the trappings of our modern society, especially when it comes to the science involved with the ghosts.

"I love origin stories," he said. "That’s my favorite thing. I love the first one so much I don’t want to do anything to ruin the memory of that. So it just felt like, let’s just restart it because then we can have new dynamics. I want the technology to be even cooler. I want it to be really scary, and I want it to happen in our world today that hasn’t gone through it so it’s like, oh my God what’s going on?"

For the best, sure. Best not to mess with arguably the best SCI-FI comedy series ever made.

I personally wish they didn't make a new one, but I'll be there, day one.

At first I was pissed they weren't going to acknowledge the film. After reading your post, I agree. If this movie flops I wasn't it as far away from Ghostbusters 1 as possible. They better have some Easter eggs in it though!

Yeah, I don't think this movie will do the original film any favors. The movie is timeless and nothing will change how it's loved. Even if this new movie is AMAZING, it won't touch the original to me. The original is way before my time but I LOVED it immediately. One of my favorite movies ever made.

Yes... one more step closer to an Extreme Ghostbusters reboot.
 
So this is going to be a horror movie like the Blair Witch Project and As Above So Below. I don't know why they would call it a Ghostbusters movie then. Because Ghostbusters was light-hearted and not a horror film.
