Ghostbusters (2016) Pitch Meeting

Step into the Pitch Meeting that started 2016's Ghostbusters! Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Screenrant
2016’s Ghostbusters reboot aimed to breathe new life into the classic franchise by introducing us to a brand new take on the concept, while still shoving as much nostalgia our way as it could. The movie bombed pretty hard at the box office and it seems unlikely that we'll see this version of the team again. The movie was kind of a mess and raises a ton of questions. Like… was there a script? Did Paul Feig just point a camera at Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones and let them come up with stuff? What even are the rules of this universe?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to 2016’s Ghostbusters! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

"What was the motivation for that?" "It's sexist of you to even ask that." This was basically the PR strategy for the movie.

[@WheeliePhiloslothical]

I hated the marketing for exactly that, it didn't matter that the original ensemble was all male so why should it matter that this one's all female. Marketing on that was foolish. The fact is it's just not a great movie :/ (personally I thought the movie was ok, about the average for that kind of movie and I agree with this vids criticisms. Also I think the Director's Cut was noticeably better than the theatrical release)

Kem Radovich budget was $144 million and it took in 229.1 million, to break even, a film would have to make double the budget which would be $288 million, which means they lost nearly $60 million(58.9 million) on that film.

A pitch meeting about Ghostbusters 2016 is the closest I'm gonna get to the movie

[@613harbinger316]

3:48 "So what are people's character arcs?" "Oh I don't have any of that going on." "Ok." "Yeah, that sounds boring. Let's stick with the improv ok?" How a joke can be both a criticism and the most concise description of Ghostbusters 2016. Ever.

[@TheFeralBachelor]

I can't believe you were able to film the actual pitch meeting., the script pretty much wrote itself based on this meeting too. Great work guys.

[@alm2187]

In original Ghostbusters, there wasn't so much a funny one. They were all funny in different ways. This contrasted effectively with realistic characters they'd interact with, like the pragmatic secretary, the stuffy hotel manager, the hard-nosed EPA rep, and the opportunistic mayor. In the New Coke Ghostbusters, just about everyone is a caricature.

[@vitoguttilla2926]

The Original Ghostbusters was set in the real world. Fakebusters was set in feigs delusional mind.

[@dlxmarks]

In the 2016 film, they weren't all the funny one. They were all the trying too hard to be funny one.

[@kentnelson84]

New Coke Ghostbusters - Haven't heard that one before! Great way to sum it up!

[@CraftySouthpaw]

@@dlxmarks Everyone in the new movie just wanted to be "the Venkman," so they all yelled loudly and acted as weird as possible. Aside from the fact that they were all terrible, a comedy cast can't simply be *all* Venkmans - there has to be some "straight (wo)men" to set them up.

[@tjfrye11]

wait hold on 1 second... new coke before being released was tested relentlessly with trial groups & most, if not all, of the trial participants preferred it to original coke.. the reason it did terribly was because at the time, changing your recipe as a soda company was a *big* deal, & so pepsi went on a slander campaign saying "we're better than coke because we don't have to change our recipe"... in other words, likening 2016 ghostbusters to new coke is like saying at any point in it's production people aside from those paid for it preferred it to original ghostbusters, which isn't true

[@theinnerlight8016]

"You're on a list now." Wouldn't suprise me these days 😅

[@SubjectDelta20]

This might be my favorite pitch meeting. I get the feeling Ryan was a big fan of Ghostbusters as a kid and this movie hit a particular nerve

[@TheChugg11]

“It’s sexist for you to even ask that, you’re on a list now” “That’s fair” pretty much sums up the response to the criticism of this shitshow (GB2016, not this video!)

Yea we all gathered that...

[@bigshotinc.5922]

Keanu Reeves is NOT the nicest person ever. now your name will be a lie Also yeah, that's accurate.

I didn't know the shooting the ghost in the testicles thing until I saw this. Bit on the nose, not trying to hide at all that it's just meant to be a man-hating shitfest

This movie was the dumpster fire that other dumpster fire parents warn their dumpster fire children about as a cautionary tale.

[@medexamtoolsdotcom]

As an anthropomorphic dumpster fire myself, I am offended by the comparison.

[@ABCScandalFanatic]

No it wasn’t, it was funny.

[@psychalogy]

Scandal Fanatic it’s ok, you’re allowed to laugh at dumpster fires

[@15743_Hertz]

It also set the low bar standard for all the other social virtue movies that were made afterward.

[@nendymion]

It would be funny, if hollywood actually learned from the mistakes this movie made but they didn't and movies of this kind still insult their fanbase and lobby accusations at the said fanbase for not watching the movie. Just look at Charlies Angels for the most recent example.

[@RegisBladeStudios]

Freddy Vs Jason pitch meeting!

[@kentjensen4504]

Ryan George, you are glorious.

[@corneliussnow3491]

Anyone else noticed screen writer guy is wearing the same space cat t-shirt that Ryan George is wearing in his "first person to have a dream" video? I'm starting to suspect this Ryan guy is in cohoots with screen writer guy 🤔🤔 wonder if producer guy knows about this.

[@fenrir7065]

Pitch meeting 101: always remember to say "whoopsie" when someone says whoops. When asked how you're going to accomplish a task, always say "super easy, barely an inconvenience" before you start explaining.

[@justarando7916]

And you know your doing great if they say ______ is/are tight

Thank you very much for saving me the time to watch all the nonsense while still allowing me to stay relevant in conversation. Your spoilers are always much more entertaining than the movies by far.

[@ryanvaughn5959]

They should have made them the daughters of the original Ghostbusters.

[@praywithpio6028]

I think that would have worked well.

[@MegaRayland]

Something- anything- else would have been better than what they did.

[@dylang1138]

That... actually could've been pretty cool. Wouldn't have fixed all the plot holes though.

[@gridlo]

Technically Patty and Winston are family. Because, despite how woke the filmmakers think they are, the only two black characters are related.
