Well, Kristen Wiig is also very good so we have that at least. She was great in MacGruber and Extract.

True. She was also great in Paul, brilliantly riffing with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Unfortunately, she won't have that luxury in Ghostbusters.

This is what I can't get past. It just feels like a cynical move for attention when they know they can't beat the original on its own merits.

"Progressive" is too dignified a word here, it's them just saying "Here's a popular film, but we swapped the genders! OMG!! ARENT WE CRAY-CRAY!? IN CINEMAS 2016!!!"

Ghostbusters is my seven year old daughter's favourite film. She's watched it 100 times, that's no exaggeration, nearly every weekend when I get up she's watching it, all her friends sing that Frozen song at school, she runs around the playground singing the Ghostbusters theme.

There is no way on Earth I'm going to be able to avoid this new film.

If your daughter's favourite film is Ghostbusters then you are definitely a good parent.

Stephen King's IT has already got the green light for a remake

Apparently they are going to start shooting sometime this year for a 2016? release

It's directed by Gil Kenan, who made the wonderful Monster House and the ambitious City of Ember. So at least there is a talented person behind the camera and not some hack Michael Bay dug up.
