Will new ghostbusters be the death of reboots/remakes?

[Skip Reming]

Growing up in the 80s I was into slasher movies as a kid. April Fools Day is credited by many as being the death of the slasher genre. Basically, it was a typical slasher except in the end it was a all goof because a woman was opening a murder mystery thing. So audiences got pissed at this and it is thought that it helped kill the genre.

Even Amy Steel could not save this movie.

With the new ghostbusters trailer and all the people hating it just like people hating all the other needless reboots and remakes like Total Recall and Robocop, will this finally be the straw that broke the camel's back? Will audiences finally say "enough with this remake shit, the original was better and it will always be the case with 80s movies" and stop seeing these shitbombs so the studios can lose money and stop producing more of them?

Or is it too late in the unoriginal, risk averted, and money hungry studio system?

Hopefully just the death of whoever's idea it was.

It won't stop the remakes. Theres already been like 100 awful remakes, don't see why one more would make any difference.

 

[El Chimpo]

Nope

Nope. I bet that movie does at least 300 million globally.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Nope

Correct.

Not even close.

I just barfed a little in my mouth but not enough to spit it out so there is always that.

hollywood must be stopped...

 

[Screwtape]

No.

Its ok to have some remakes and reboots, but the rate at which Hollywood is cranking them out is a real turn off.

Have 0 interest in seeing this, hopefully it tanks.

I still see this film being funny despite the backlash.

There's a movie coming out about London, I saw an ad for it, seems the exact thing as the White House Down one and the other one that was the exact same. I'm guessing it's easier to sell a movie that's been done before, if it's something brand new it's a harder sell.

nothing against remakes per se, FFS Man on Fire w/ Denzel was a remake of an 80s movie too...Red Dragon was a remake of Manhunter, Last Man Standing of AFoD, etc...

But ya, some of these are just ridiculous.

also, why haven't they remade Gleaming the Cube? slacking

Gleaming the Cube is scheduled for right after the reboots of Rad and The Wizard.

Ah was it? So the same guy got caught up in the same amazing situation as before but in another country? Ha ha, what an unlucky prick!

tell me you're serious Bi?????

 

[BisexualMMA]

Ghostbusters will be a piece of shit, worse than the Total Recall or Robocop remakes for sure, but it won't stop anything from happening. They already have built-in rationalizations and excuses if it bombs.

Nah, I wish.

Thats a sequel to Olympus Has Fallen. Which actually came out 6 months before White House Down. Think I'm alone, but I liked Olympus Has Fallen more.
