Basically, Paul Feig, the director of the box office bomb Ghostbusters (2016), said to Huffington Post that although he considered making a reboot of Back to the Future, now he's sure he won't be rebooting another classic series of films and will stick to original creations like Bridesmaids.

This could be for any number of reasons. Even though he said that it was only "exciting" to do a Ghostbusters reboot, the decision could also be attributed to the movie barely making back its production costs and overall being heavily criticized by a good portion of the population (for non-loveist reasons).

To sum up, you will not be seeing any more reboots from this director.
THANK YOU O HOLY JEBUS

i mean, i felt like after ghostbusters, the chances were pretty slim. but, good to know for sure.

maybe he should reboot back to the future with an all female cast starring mellissa mccarthy.

Good, he's a terrible director

i dont really care about the movie but im glad i wont have to see 5 million articles about how loveist/not loveist women to the future is

maybe he should reboot back to the future with an all female cast starring mellissa mccarthy.
i will loving shoot somebody if this happens

Good, he's a terrible director

Hey, he's made good stuff (Freaks and Geeks, Spy, some episodes of The Office)

He was just a terrible fit for ghostbusters.

It would be even better if he stopped making movies altogether


mighty joe young reboot except it's about harambe

also, there was one good thing to come out of this movie. and it's this.

nah. ghostbusters wasn't very good (not nearly as bad as people say lol) but paul has directed some good stuff. he did spy (which was shockingly good, like, i'd just give it a 7.5 from memory but i expected like a 2) and also some really good episodes of The Office. i think he deliberately tried to dumb it down for GB

He didn't dumb it down, he's just not cut out for these big tentpole films. He's had really good success with a show like The Office which relies a lot on improv. But that doesn't work when you have a big movie with lots of special effects that the actors have to interact with. When he takes four actresses, puts them in front of a green screen and tells them to riff, he's not really creating a big-budget blockbuster, just an extended SNL skit.


thank forget he's not touching back to the future. If anyone lays a hand on that movie I will personally do something not nice to them and then probably apologize afterwards but insist that it was necessary

A reboot's been discussed, but I'm pretty sure it's the original people.
