I know it has already been made, so any wishes of what it should be are null and void. I also realize it isn't out yet, so it could be a decent movie. All I know is what I have seen from the trailers, and, to be completely honest, I am not looking forward to it.
Hollywood has for years been obsessed with the "remake"; taking a classic film or tv show and remaking it with a new cast in a new time period. This isn't a new trend, Hollywood has been doing it for years. Even modern classics like "Father of the Bride" were remakes from older movies. But, the current trend has been to take a classic movie like Ghostbusters (or the recently announced Jumanji remake) and turn it in to a mockery of the franchise by dismissing what made the originals a classic.
Ok, so here are my thoughts:
Most of the original cast is set to be in the new Ghostbusters. In what capacity, few will know until it is released. But, it has been very obviously defined that this is a complete reboot and not a continuation of the original. The new Ghostbusters know nothing of the original events that happened in the 80's or of the original crew. The original never happened. This is a new crew, discovering, for the first time, how to capture and contain paranormal entities. But, what if the original did happened, and at the same time, never did? It has been said these movies don't exist in the same universes, so what if both exist, but in alternate universes.
Bare with me.
This is how I would want the movie to end, and nostalgia ensue. The new Ghostbusting crew of ladies are fighting the ultimate baddy, when, the streams cross, tearing a hole in the very fabric of time and space. This tear reveals a parallel universe where the original Ghostbusters exist and are fighting their own battle of the ghouls. Both crews see each other and Venkman yells out "Don't Cross the Streams!!!". McCarthy reacts and immediately uncrosses and the tear is fixed.
A short and sweet cameo to show fans that the original still exists out there somewhere. It keeps with the insistence that the new movie is a reboot in it's own universe, but doesn't completely negate the originals.
