This article contains light spoilers for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
We’ve got one! And by “one” I mean a female Ghostbuster that even jerks might like! Maybe!
The last time we got women as Ghostbusters, sexist buffoons making bad-faith arguments about the apparent sanctity of boy Ghostbusters drowned out all discussion of the 2016 reboot Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, preventing both those who enjoyed the movie and those who disliked it for actual sane reasons from sharing their viewpoints.
That extreme response drove Sony to return to the franchise’s roots for its follow-up Ghostbusters: Afterlife, directed by Jason Reitman, son of original Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman. Although the movie took place in Oklahoma and took a decidedly dour, respectful tone, it focused on connections to the first team. It starred Carrie Coon, McKenna Grace, and Finn Wolfhard as the daughter and grandchildren of Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis). Together with their friends and their teacher Mr.

Okay, we admit that to be a little cheesy. However, Variety did report an ongoing rumor stating Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat) being asked direct a reboot of Ghostbusters with an all-female cast.
This is in contrast to earlier reports stating he would be directing the upcoming Ghostbusters 3 which was announced to be going into pre-production by original star Dan Aykroyd on The Today Show.
The rumor is Sony (who owns Columbia Pictures) has been in talks with Feig about the project. Representatives with Sony have declined to comment.
While fans appear to be split regarding the concept, the idea is nothing new. Longtime Ghostbuster fans will recall an episode of The Real Ghostbusters where Janine Melnitz (voiced by Laura Summer) actually gets wears the proton pack for the first time in the episode Janine's Genie back in 1986. Her reddish-brown jumpsuit would...

Here’s ShockYa’s top ten Sunday morning cartoons based on popular films. Our list includes “Ghostbusters”, “Beetlejuice”, “The Lion King”, “The Planet of the Apes” and others. #1 “The Real Ghostbusters”: The 1986 cartoon version of the popular 1984 film “Ghostbusters” was just as much a success as the film., running until 1991. The only difference was that there was that the target audience was a bit younger. Arsenio Hall and Dave Coulier were part of the voice cast, as well as well-known voice actors Frank Welker, Lorenzo Music, Kath Soucie, Buster Jones, Laura Summer and Maurice Lamarche.
