The 'Ghostbusters' Cast's Past

Before they were busting ghosts, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones had some odd jobs.

[@kika7twilight]

I love that Leslie has to think about Kate as a umpire before deciding it's the the funniest thing she's imagined and throws her head back and laughs 😂 I love these women.

[@sunflower9481]

Thank you for pointing this out!!! I missed it at first hahaha

[@MrLasveguinhas]

[@Fallingwithstyle1995]

Regardless of the film's quality, you gotta love them here. So hilarious.

[@twistedgambit9084]

the film is going to be shit quality. so yeah will probably like it but hate looking at it.

[@sergiobernal1820]

none of us have even seen it.

[@knowpassword]

No..

[@Fallingwithstyle1995]

DamageIncM I think that's a really fair assessment. Despite it overwriting a long-awaited third Ghostbusters, in the hands of good writers, this film has the potential to turn out just fine. Based on the trailers, I have my doubts, but who knows?

[@Fallingwithstyle1995]

DamageIncM Now that Harold Ramis has passed on, an actual third film aside from the video game seems like it could be in poor taste, but once again, clever enough writing could turn it into a heartfelt and funny tribute. Terminator Genisys, while creating various uninspired scenarios and contradictions with the original two films, still had very much the right idea. Having Sarah and Kyle actively grapple with the roles that have been thrust upon them was a smart move. I have plenty of issues with the film, but it was at least in some ways a smart extension of the originals. I've been following this for years too, and we'll just have to accept the fact that this new film at its base can't function as a continuation. As McCarthy stressed in the "Chris Hemsworth" Ellen video, there is still an element of familiarity to the plot. I just hope that element ends up manifesting itself as more charming than cynically repetitive. Time will tell.

[@caeyramirez3318]

"easiest interview ever; just had to act crazy" LMFAO

[@homegirl44]

It really bothers me how much misogyny still lingers in 2016. Whenever there's a movie involving a large cast of female comedians, men always feel the need to put them down as much as possible and make sexist jokes all throughout the comment section. You never see women doing this to men. The real reason this Ghostbuster's reboot is getting so much flack is because it's a cast full of women. If this reboot had been done with an all male comedian cast people would probably be excited for it.

[@Turtlesilikethem]

I'm gonna have to disagree, I personally, think the movie looks dreadful. This judgement was made from watching the trailers, it has nothing to do with being a largely female cast, I'm obviously a female myself :') This judgement also comes as 'Ghostbusters' is an iconic film, these ladies have very big shoes to fill. Obviously the film could be great, but the marketing and advertising for it give me no hope for that.

[@jong7772]

That is where you're incorrect. What you see is a bunch of women, what we see is a bunch of terrible comedians being the cast of a childhood movie.

[@jong7772]

Your head must be neck-deep into feminism. My first impression wasn't them being women, but them picking a terrible cast for a movie that touched us when we were children. They deserve to be equally criticized as if they were a terrible male cast. After-all equal opportunity right?

[@knowpassword]

Fuck you and watch "THE GHOSTBUSTERS"

[@CTdra1337]

Nice try Sony, you'll have to do better than that to redirect the hate on your movie.

[@salimkaka2235]

It looks shit....and the characters were always played by men. This is a HUGE change. Idk why They chose women to play tne characters? Maybe because to please the feminists. (I have nothing against feminists.....but i hate feminazies)

[@benjaminm.]

we all know its gonna be shit (no feminism there)

[@PanamaPete]

come on, they always put the best jokes and scenes on the trailers... and judging by their trailer if those are the best one... cant imagine the other parts...

[@benjaminm.]

the studio should've gotten better actors

[@destina3898]

+Salim Kaka that doesn't make sense?¿ you said " the characters were all played by men, and now they have women as the charaters?" if that's your only problem with this movie than you obviously are sexist.

[@shindean]

This is only a few minutes and it had me smiling and laughing. The hell with you haters.

[@calebhutchinson5759]

We're fine with the cast. We hate the reboot

[@shindean]

Caleb Hutchinson No, fans are not fine with the cast (especially since most of them are just copying and pasting their same remarks from eight months ago when the cast was announced). The reboot was necessary to keep the franchise alive (the irony is that it took twenty years just to make this one because the producers were honoring fan boys, but that's like trying to make everyone happy in a perfect way, which is a terrible approach to making movies).

[@calebhutchinson5759]

+shindean You clearly have no idea what the bloody hell you're talking about. The movie was nearly perfect, and deserves better than a "comedy" reboot that clearly refuses to show any form of respect to the original

[@shindean]

Caleb Hutchinson Showing "respect" to the original is exactly what kept this or any version of Ghostbusters to be made: it couldn't be done properly to make fan boys happy and even Akroyd and Murray kept going back and forth and couldn't get anything accomplished. Now it's out of their hands, out of the fan boys hands, and a new movie can finally be made. I'm glad.

[@calebhutchinson5759]

+shindean They didn't have to make one. That was a mistake on their part to spend 20 years in development for a new movie THAT LITERALLY IS NOT THEIRS ANYMORE. What a waste of money and time, if what you're saying is true. Murray is no idiot, so I'm skeptical but it doesn't mean he can't make mistakes

[@clautastic9186]

I love them so much, for me they are the best cast choice ever for this reboot.

[@jong7772]

Why the fuck you lyin'?

[@clautastic9186]

Angry hater spotted. I´m a big fan believe it or not.

[@clautastic9186]

I not only a big fan I´m a huugee fan. Wiig is one of my favorite comedians since I first saw her on SNL, and the rest of the ladies have a special place on my fan heart for many reasons. I will support them on every project. And the rest of this cast fandom will support them too!

[@NESherv]

They might be a good cast (they're great on SNL), but the point is that there shouldn't be a fucking reboot in the first place. Don't touch what's already perfect.

[@clautastic9186]

Reboots will be made don´t matter what. Some people will like it some not. I think it´s time to accept it and move on.

[@calebhutchinson5759]

No, I'd be fine with it if they did the movie like Extreme Ghostbusters (the all female cartoon) however, this is a shameless reboot that pays no respect to the original movie (which was damn near a perfect movie!) and they want it to be a full fledged comedy when none of the jokes were funny at all. Special Effects look like crap, jokes look like crap, script looks like crap, shameless reboots themselves are crap, and the director is a big steaming pile of crap

Kate made the whole thing watchable, because she knits people together, with her comedy.

Seeing them on Ellen (or any other other show) being natural and not confined to cliche movie formula, a lousy script and bad direction like this remake is portraying in the trailers, they are legitimately funny and entertaining. Forget about the idea that it is a remake: the problem with this film (theoretically speaking since I am basing this on the trailers only) is that it is utilizing stereotypes and comedic cliches we have see over and over again and are tired of seeing. That's at least personal view of it all.
