The sky is the limit when it comes to the Ghostbusters reboot and possible spin-offs.
[toggler title=”TL;DR” ]Dan Aykroyd, the co-creator and co-star of the popular film Ghostbusters, says that Sony Pictures has been approached by several writers like Paul Feig to create different reboots of Ghostbusters. An all-male Ghostbusters could be possible in the future.[/toggler]
[dropcap size=small]W[/dropcap]hen the very popular iconic fantasy-comedy movie, Ghostbusters, was first released back in 1984 no one could have foretold that the movie would become a smashing success with a strong cult following. Dan Aykroyd, the co-creator and co-star of the film, is now the executive producer of the Sony Pictures reboot. And from the sounds of it, he is a major fan of the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot.
The cast for the reboot includes Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon. Dan Aykroyd had this to say about the reboot when interviewed by Comic Book Resources:
“It’s going to be hot! The new one’s going to be big! The interplay, and with each of them, their individual voices are so well-defined. They’re just such different characters, and there’s a friction. There’s a dynamic there. I’m not going to spoil it for people, but it’s going to be big, big!”
When Dan Aykroyd was asked about the rumor of a second reboot coming that would have an all-male cast he commented by saying:
“The thing is, you’ve got creators all around Hollywood who saw the thing at the original time and are going, ‘Wow, I think I’ve got a take on that. I think I could do something under that umbrella.” And so we’ve had brilliant creators walk in, from Paul Feig to many others. And we loved the concepts they’re coming up with. And this one with the four girls is going to be massive. Oh, man, it’s funny. It’s intelligent. It hits the right notes, and I’m really excited about it. It refers to the first two in a really neat, classy way, but this is all going to introduce them to a whole new generation of girls that are going to want to be Ghostbusters. We always needed them.”
The Ghostbusters reboot will hit theaters on July 22, 2016.
