How long until we get an Efron/Franco/Rogen collaboration for Charlene's Angelos?

 

[GhostWriter24]

I'm actually frightened for when the first trailer releases.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Mindy Kaling is towards the top of my celebrity crush list so yep, sudden interest in this project.

Too long.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Can't wait until Hollwood gets this "genderswapping is an original idea, right?" phase out of its system. In the meantime, I assume this film will be light dumb fun like the Soderbergh films.

Shhh, they'll hear you!

 

[mreddie]

Rashida Jones as Matt Damon.

 

[kris.]

Shhh, they'll hear you!

what, you don't want this?

I wish that they would try gender switching directors once in a while.

 

[Oersted]

Could be fun. Formula is easily done right.

Plus no Melssa McCarthy.

Okay.

 

[TheFuzz]

I kinda don't. Remaking an existing movie with the cloud of "SEE HOW ORIGINAL AND DIFFERENT IT IS WITH DIFFERENT GENDERS?" Will get old really quick.

Now, if they're telling a different story, then fine. As shitty as the Ghostbusters remake looks to me, at least it's a different type of movie.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Will watch since I love the Steven Soderberg trilogy.

tbh i'm kinda intrigued by the idea of a bumbling spy trio movie with efron/franco/rogen but i guess we kinda got that with the interview (which i still loved).

Oh sure, just don't tie it to an existing IP to make a buck.

That's my issue with the gender-swapping craze: it's not doing anything good. Saying "a bunch of men made this film; watch, we can do it too!" Isn't the message that needs to be sent.

They need to focus on original movies with female leads. Disney is already making headway with Star Wars and Captain Marvel, so that's a plus. We don't need a female Indiana Jones or any other "SEE!! It's a woman now!!" Material like some of this comes can come off as.

I am interested in this movie!

This movie needs Melissa McCarthy. After seeing in her Heat and Spy, I'm convinced she can add humor to an action packed without messing the movie's pace. This is perfect for her, plus I want to see her and Cate's chemistry together.

This would completely destroy all interest I have in this movie!

 

[Romez]

Love Mindy Kaling, her show is hilarious.

 

[Chumpion]

This might be the big one. I think Bullock is on the verge of delivering the crappiest acting job in modern cinema.

 

[Anfang]

I am down for this cast. Plus no Melssa McCarthy.

Same. Cant wait to see who the rest of the cast will be.

Please no. She can stay far far away.

 

[Grinchy]

Looking at Mindy's face for 2 full hours is going to be tough for most people.

 

[Acorn]

Helena Bonham Carter? I'm out.

 

[Monocle]

Great cast. I love Helena Bonham Carter.

Helena Bonham Carter? I'm out.

OK bye.

Would watch, mostly for the inevitable scene of Zac Efron stripping off his wetsuit.

 

[heliosRAzi]

I'll watch it, but I wish Soderbergh was at the helm instead of just producing it.

 

[JoeyJungle]

Oh shit, this movie sounds awesome.

 

[Joni]

Double post. If a mod could delete please.

It can work here. Ocean's Eleven was Rat Pack: The Movie. The Clooney trilogy felt like the same idea. They just need that same charisma in there for this one.

 

[Apt101]

Sounds like a cool sequel. The only thing that worries me is the change of director.

 

[Strax]

Funny that nobody seems to care about a all female O11 but they care about a Ghostbusters all female cast, its almost like people care more about the film thats being made rather then the gender of the people.

I don't think you have much of a point here. Ghostbusters is a much higher profile movie, since it's part of a classic franchise. Misogyny or no, it was bound to attract more attention.

However, the extreme vitriol it's received isn't really proportional to the quality of the trailer, and commenters sure aren't shy about attacking the all-female cast, so...

 

[Messofanego]

Where is Rashida Jones?!

 

[andythinkpad]

Is Helena Bonham Carter playing a crazy woman/witch?
