    They should buy out the rights and somehow find a way to fold it into their multiverse.

    It's a franchise no one has any strong attachment to, so they could probably have a lot of fun with it.

    they should upgrade the "teen" into "young adult"... you know, college student.. giving teen proton packs feel a bit like reckless endangerment..

    "Young adult" typically means 12-18, so that's no improvement.

    It’s more like late teens to early 20s.

    I've never seen Filmation's Ghostbusters. I only had a tape of them as a kid. When I listened to it, I was first mad, that it wasn't about Egon, Ray, Peter and Winston, etc. but it was still entertaining.

    Not according to the book market which seems to be the primary place the term is used, but I guess everyone has their own definition.

    ... which Dreamworks? Dreamworks Pictures or Dreamworks Animation? DreamWorks Pictures is a subsidiary of Viacom/Paramount, DreamWorks Animation is Comcast/Universal. It's okay, I googled it. Maybe there'll come a time when the appropriate one will have merged with Sony before Disney buys everything!

    In the meantime I think Sony still have to license the name. If someone at Universal really wanted to do it, they could make their own Ghostbusters.

    - as a compromise they'll have a bunch of "teens" played by thirty-somethings like in Grease. That way everyone wins.

    Again they said it would be two teens and two PRETEENS in the announcement.

    Plus we had kid ghostbusters before.

    I think I will wait for a trailer. The 2016 version had a lot of weird rumors as well. For now, watching Leslie Jones scream about the film ignoring the 2016 remake is entertaining enough.

    The fact that this notion has been sticking its arse out for all and sundry and neither the team behind the 2016 movie OR Ackroyd have tried to take a swing at it continues to fucking baffle me.

    I just hope this new movie isn’t a Force Awakens style rehash. If it’s a good movie while still being a rehash, fair enough, I still love TFA, but still. They gotta balance the old with the new. The 2016 film regardless of quality was not a middle finger to fans, nor was the fact that it was a reboot a middle finger to fans.
