Is this even possible? A scary Ghostbusters movie? If Paul Feig has anything to do with it, that's exactly what we'll get with the upcoming film! Feig is putting together an all-female lead cast to re-introduce the world to the 80's classic, but he wants to do it with a little more realism.
Instead of returning to the world from the original movie where everybody knows of the existence of ghosts, and to see one is almost commonplace, he wants to follow the story of people coming to grips with the fact that ghosts are real. That's not to say that we are going to get a Ghostbusters that is more in line with something like The Conjuring, this is still going to be a "comedy," but Feig does want to go darker and a little bit more realistic when it comes to the ghosts, and how his cast reacts to them.
The problem with this is balancing the new vibe of the film with the original. You don't want to call something a "sequel" and have it not have anything to do with the original film. Feig thinks that he's found this balance in the script, and has a lot of faith in the cast that they are putting together to pull this off.
Even with the scarier feel of the movie, Feig still promises to make this a PG-13 film. He doesn't want to alienate anyone from being able to see this movie, and an R rating would limit it to being accessed by only a certain group. The more the merrier, right?
No release date has been set, and the final draft of the script is still in the works, but the good news is it's being done!
Happy New Year everybody!
