Paul Feig is Proud of ‘Ghostbusters’ and Would Love to Make Another
I feel like Paul Feig‘s Ghostbusters was unfairly maligned. In fact, I actually liked it quite a bit. Still, there are many of the arguments against it, and outside of the nonsensical all-female pushback, there’s a lot going against it. It’s hard for me to sit here and support the idea of a Feig-directed follow up especially when he managed to piss off Dan Aykroyd and fuck the budget so badly that it’s put the franchise in turmoil. No matter. Feig is proud of his film and would love to bring back Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones for more ghost busting.
“We would love [to make another movie]; it’s really up to the studio,” Feig told Y! “We had so much fun making that movie.”
Even though the film had a rough run at the box office, and with critics and fans, Feig claims it’s built a cult following.
“The movie’s just really built an audience in the two years since it’s been out. I get contacted every day by people who are such fans of it, and so many women who are inspired by seeing women in science. I will go to my grave so proud of that movie, and so proud of what that cast did in that film.”
He adds: “I will go to my grave so proud of that movie, and so proud of what that cast did in that film.”
Thankfully, there’s at the very least an animated Ghostbusters in the works.
What do you guys think?
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
