The Ghostbusters cinematic universe officially starts with Paul Feig's all-female reboot which includes Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon and is set to hit on July 22 of 2016. After this, an all-male Ghostbusters film is set to hit in theaters a few years later starring Channing Tatum and possibly, Chris Pratt as the lead characters, and attaching Anthony and Joe Russo as the directors for the film. Finally, after both films debut, a crossover film is expected that will see Feig’s team, team up with the Russo Bros. team!

But, before we get that far into the future of the franchise, Paul Feig sat down with AlloCine and revealed that his reboot film, is an origin story. His thoughts are below.

“I thought I'd rather do it as a reboot, so I wasn't tied to the old movies. The old movies are so good, I didn't want to mess with them. I also want to see the beginnings of this group. I want to see people seeing ghosts for the first time, and how they are going to fight them for the first time, how they develop their technology.”

We all are awaiting the release of the newest Ghostbusters film, and if this one is a success, I'm sure that people all over the world will be asking for more, especially with Channing Tatum and Chris Prat(?) signed on for the next film! Are you look forward to this new female-led Ghostbusters film? Sound off below with your thoughts!

Feig is pretty competent. 3 for 3 for his latest outings imo.

Oh joy....-__- too bad he still doesn't know how to be funny when he is with Melissa McCarthy. The two of them together are about as funny as mowing a lawn.

God this movie sounds desperate, especially after reading the emails where they basically half-assed the film for the sake of it.

This is the one movie that I can't give the benefit of the doubt. I'm 100% sure it'll suck. I realize how ignorant that sounds but whatever.

Women think they're special because they can pee sitting down. We men can do that too, and better!

I'll wait for the trailer before passing judgement, but so far everything I'm hearing about this movie sounds boring.

-Reboot of a classic
-Gendered cast for no reason
-Comedy with actors that are mostly not funny
-Want to spin off a film universe for no reason

This whole thing feels like a board room cash grab movie, not an actual creatively inspired film.
