Plot details are revealed for the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot!


There has been a lot of speculation about what Paul Feig's Ghostbusters reboot could be about and even who it will star as the iconic team of Ghostbusters. Thanks to Vulture it seems that some very important questions have been answered.

This new information on the film comes from an email sent to Sony chief Amy Pascal and it involved Feig throwing out ideas for the film's storyline, the film's villain, and even who Cecily Strong (Saturday Night Live) could possibly play.

*Possible spoilers ahead.*

By now many fans, whether they are happy with it or not, know that this new Ghostbusters film will be a complete reboot of the franchise and will star an all female cast. Now, thanks to Vulture, we have more information.
"In the email, Feig explains the film is a reboot, not a sequel — humans aren't afraid of no ghosts, he says, because they haven't met them yet. He says his film will be "scarier and more hi-tech" than the original Ghostbusters: The villain will be a convicted murderer, ideally played by Peter Dinklage, who turns into a ghost after his execution is hit by "a supercharged electrical storm." This gives him the power to raise an army of other ghosts, which could be made up of famous villains throughout history. It's like Night at the Museum! These ghosts will in turn have to be busted by "four very different women" who have to "figure out in funny, scary and action-packed ways how to save New York City and the world.""
Talking about franchise opportunities, Vulture revealed even more information.
"For greater franchise opportunities, Feig tells Pascal that the Ghostbusters will work for the U.S. government, but, because ghosts don't officially exist, the government will have to continually disavow their relationship. He sees Strong as their bureaucratic nemesis who's "always saying terrible things about them in press conferences and then apologizing to them behind the scenes." Every time God closes a "Weekend-Update"-shaped door, He opens a Ghostbusters-sized window."
This is a lot of information to take in and at the moment I am just not sure how to feel about it. Are you excited to see some of the big names being used in this conversation? Would you want to see an army of ghosts comprised of historical figures running around New York? We'll have to wait and see how all this unfolds but for now we know this is happening and just have to accept it.
