I like to think of it in the terms of the original movie where Bill Murray talks about "franchising!" making them rich. It'll never be a reboot to me, i'll just rewrite the backstory in my head to fit
That would be an interesting concept. "Corporate mogul Dr. Peter Venkman holds on to the rights and branding of the Ghost Busters franchise for years in hopes to make a quick buck. He has invested in cheap Home and Personal use devices which he sells out of China to unsuspecting customers. But when the ectoplasmic shit hits the fan he has to rely on a new team of Ghost Busters to save his name and Brand!" aaaaandddd scene.
exactly or there's like Ghostbusters all over the world like friggan mcDonalds or something that operate their city's paranormal shit and they just buy into the brand and success of the original team. After 30 years the guys will be 60-70 years old so obviously they'd have trained up a new squad and Venkman being Venkman he absolutely chose an all woman team xD
there's a lot of fudging in there but I had this in my head the moment they announced the film so that's how i was hoping it would swing.

Ok. I think we should call Bill and get this on his radar. I bet he would go for it.
we need writers and director who can be true to the original content without trading on it too heavily. people who genuinely care.
and Aubrey Plaza needs to be in it.
