If Aykroyd and Ramis come back to write the script, then yeah i may go see it. |
I just don't think it suits the CGI franchise - I liked Final Fantasy and things like Shrek (very different films, since one is comedy) and even that Matrix short film in CGI which I forget the name of (Last flight of something)
However, there are films like Beowulf, which was interesting but I feel it was too realistic at times and too unrealistic for others and even though it was all CGI, this made it hit the uncanny valley and appeared more like a live action film with bad CGI.
So, I see Ghostbusters CGI going one of two ways - the Beowulf way, or the Shrek way and I think humans as CGI cartoon characters are just handled a bit too childishly.
What it boils down to is not trusting Hollywood with animation, especially when it's for a series that we are used to seeing as live action. They'd have to hand it over to small independants for me to be more optimistic, such as with the Matrix shorts and Batman : Gotham Knight (also shorts), but small independants don't have the manpower to do feature lengths, for the most part.
