We’ve all grown more cynical about franchise reboots over the last few years, and that goes double for studio-driven attempts to milk more money out of classic pictures like the original Ghostbusters. But that movie worked because it matched a terrific premise—funny people fighting ghosts—with some brilliant comedic minds. This update seeks to follow in the original’s footsteps by handing the creative reins to writer-director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) and a cast that includes Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones. There’s still a lot that could go wrong here, and Sony Pictures is clearly trying to recapture lightning in a bottle, but given the amount of talent assembled here, we’re absolutely inclined to give the new-look Ghostbusters the benefit of the doubt.
