It's not new information that Paul Feig's "Ghostbusters" reboot/remake/whatever you'd call it is polarizing fans far and wide. Some state it's going to ruin their childhood while others are going the straight up sexist route regarding this all female cast. While we're going to hold off judging the new film until it's released in theaters, one big name has been the project's loudest cheerleader from the get-go: Dan Aykroyd.
Sure, he may be biased as he's one of the masterminds behind the original film, but one has to admire the enthusiastic manner in which he is praising the new film. Most recently, Aykroyd took to his Facebook to claim the new "Ghostbusters" is better than the original films.
Look, we admit that is a bold stance for Stantz to make (see what we did there?), but with the advances in special effects and different dynamic the new cast will bring, it's possible he's correct. Aykroyd's statement, however, gives us pause … especially this part: "Apart from brilliant, genuine performances from the cast both female and male, it has more laughs and more scares than the first two films."
It's possible he's merely a huge fan of the team that is Feig, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig. If that's it, then that's great! But, it could also be possible the studio is using Aykroyd as a marketing tool to convince the hardcore jaded fans to shell out their dollars once the film premieres.
As the franchise "originator," there's got to be a pretty penny in it for him if there's decent box office returns, right? As we said earlier, we're going to hold off on judging the film until it's released but at the very least, we can probably all agree on one cool "Ghostbusters" detail: "Bill Murray is in it!"
"Ghostbusters" hits theaters everywhere on July 15, 2016.
