He was cool, man. At that time, still kept in touch with old friends from Missouri, too. I don't know about now.

What would be hilarious is if they literally just remake the film, shot for shot, line for line, but with women.

I don't know, I've never met her (I've met him) but I just never got the "she'd be really cool to hang out with" vibe from her. I've always gotten the "She's a freaking psycho" vibe.

I thought she was pretty hot when I first saw her in that movie Gia but got kind of tired of her fast. When she was banging Billy Bob Thornton in limos thats when she turned me off.

Something which Drew McWeeney posted over at hitfix which has since been removed at sony's I'm sure lawyer-laden request:

Quote:

they are not playing the characters from the original film. They’re not meant to simply be female versions of Venkman, Spengler, Stantz, and Zeddmore. Instead, these are totally different characters in a similar type of situation. Erin Gabler and Abby Bergman are the first two leads, and as the film begins, they are former colleagues. They co-wrote a book about the paranormal together, then went in different directions. Erin works for Columbia, and she’s getting close to tenure, while Abby is more involved in the pursuit of ghosts, with a new partner named Jillian. In a world where there are thirty different “Ghost Hunters” style TV shows out there, the set-up makes sense, and it sets up a tension between serious academic motives and mainstream pop parapsychology.

If I was guessing, I’d bet Wiig is Erin, Jones is Abby, and McKinnon is Jillian. That’s because I’m almost positive Patty, an MTA subway ticket employee who stumbles across the main ghost in the film, is going to be McCarthy. Seems like a perfect fit for her, and I can see how all four of them will fit together as a team.

And Bill Murray in the old William Atherton/Walter Peck role. Like he'd actually do it.

This is going to be a colossal failure. And I actually like Kridten Wiig and Kate McKinnon

**Baby Lee** · 01-28-2015, 10:38 PM

Way too early to dismiss it. Much prefer Wiig in movies to SNL, and may I just say she has gotten HAWT since leaving there. Did you see her at the Golden Globes? RAWR.

Could rock, could suck. The cast doesn't doom it to either bin.

Did you miss the part about Melissa McCarthy? Because Melissa McCarthy is in it.

I just wanted to make sure you were clear on that.

You seem to have missed that part.

Melissa McCarthy.

ModSocks · 01-28-2015, 11:23 PM

Melissa McCarthy.

Think about that. Think about that long and hard.

Melissa McCarthy.

So the ghost will munch instead of suck now?

Do you really believe that Paul Feig and Judd Apatow will redirect McCarthy's character into something other than what she's done in the past five years?

I don't.

I guess she was good in that one movie with Bill Murray recently, but Bridesmaids was terribly overrated. If they wanted to do something great, they should've made the cast mixed with a combination of men and women. Replace those two no names from SNL and get Chris Pratt, Charlie Day or Chris Pine or something. If you're going in a new direction you might as well hook the female, and male demographic. The only things that sell this movie are to fans of Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy.
