A complete remake would get killed by the fans before it leaves the pre-pre-production stage, GB fans are almost as rabid as Star Trek fans. lol But a spinoff movie could work IF it's done well.... *crossing fingers* I think this is really the only way the GB fans will accept a new movie, if it's written as if the kids are, say, a franchise of the NY office.

On a side note, I wouldn't mind seeing Jonah Hill or Danny McBride playing a different version of Lois Tully (although it would never trump Rick Moranis' role). It could be great, eh, or terrible... but either way I'm excited. I'd love that cast, and they already have Craig Robinson who could take Winston from a token black guy to a meaningful character.

If I had to select a new team from this junior upstart league of comedians? Bill Hader. Seth Rogen. Jason Segel. Then who knows. For some reason I want to say Seann William Scott, even though he's not an Apatow kid. I'd also like to point out that this makes 2 "Bustin makes me feel good" jokes in 2 days.

Maybe they could do something along the line of Flatliners where they are still in med school and have been working on creating a vortex to another dimension. They discover it and unleash something that has been dormant since the second movie. It alerts the original ghostbusters who no longer work but still follow paranormal behavior ( a la Ghostbusters 2 but with more time and waiting). The new kids want in having been fans of the original ghostbusters as kids, and the old crew tells them its not worth their time: NYC turns on you even after saving them from the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man. What they have unleashed is bigger than Stay Puft though and though the old guys want nothing to do with it, the newbies have to convince them to get back together, you know, for the kids.

The younger guys, most definitely wouldn't. Maybe, the younger guys, could be interns or something, studying paranormal sciences or other things. On a side note.

In 5-10 years they could certainly pull it off, but right now it's just not a good idea. The fact that Harold Ramis has made a cameo in Knocked Up tells me that he would most likely be consulted on any kind of Ghostbusters film, though. This would be a big mistake.
