Sony Hack – Plot details for Paul Feig’s all-female Ghostbusters: “It’s like Night at the Museum”

December 16, 2014 by Luke Owen

More information now from the Sony Hack as Vulture have given us some plot details for Paul Feig’s all-female reboot to Ghostbusters. Warning – could contain spoilers.

In an email between Paul Feig and Amy Pascal, the director spitballs ideas for his movie which, he states, is a reboot and not a sequel. The website writes:

“Humans aren’t afraid of no ghosts, he says, because they haven’t met them yet. He says his film will be ‘scarier and more hi-tech’ than the original Ghostbusters: The villain will be a convicted murderer, ideally played by Peter Dinklage, who turns into a ghost after his execution is hit by ‘a supercharged electrical storm.’ This gives him the power to raise an army of other ghosts, which could be made up of famous villains throughout history. It’s like Night at the Museum! These ghosts will in turn have to be busted by ‘four very different women’ who have to ‘figure out in funny, scary and action-packed ways how to save New York City and the world.'”

Feig reportedly also gives some ideas for franchise possibilities:

“The Ghostbusters will work for the U.S. government, but, because ghosts don’t officially exist, the government will have to continually disavow their relationship. He sees [Cecily] Strong as their bureaucratic nemesis who’s ‘always saying terrible things about them in press conferences and then apologizing to them behind the scenes.'”

Of course, things could change from here. What do you make of the Ghostbusters reboot plot?
