I hope the failure of this film kills all the stupid "gender bending" remakes forever. The whole point of Ghostbusters is that it was about a bunch of blue collar working dudes in an unusual extermination business. Women just don't tend to work in the extermination industry.

Hmmm, although I don't think this is going to be a good film, I'm not too sure of your reasoning. There's nothing blue collar about Physicists and Scientist. There's nothing particularly wrong with female leads in these types of roles, either. The problem is that this remake is totally off mark for tone, look and feel for this type of story, as established by the original. The big question is why did they bother with a reboot when a sequel would've allowed them to cover so much new ground with the idea of a all female or mixed gender group of leading actors. The reboot means they are pretty much stuck telling the same story again, just with female leads. They tried to differentiate it by making it an SNL skit version of the original, rather than taking the subject matter seriously enough to make an entertaining scary comedy.

I don't think they are in control of the situation to be able to start the drama machine. This has been 100% negative for them on a scale that's never been seen for a movie before. Their spin hasn't been well received by anyone that would actually go see this mess.
