My issue with the claims that all the hate is primarily against remakes is that there wasn't such an instant and fervid problem with any other equally unnecessary remakes. THIS one got the wildly down-voted trailer, amid all of the other mediocre remakes, reboots, and sequels filling Hollywood. The trailer wasn't great but it honestly wasn't THAT MUCH WORSE than a billion other trailers.

So when someone says "I just hate all remakes, it's not about the female casting" I kinda have to ask "okay but were you also this mad about the third new Star Trek movie? Or the Power Rangers movie? Or the two TMNT movies?"

I bet there were people just as angry about the Star Trek reboot as Ghostbusters. Just different people than the people angry about Ghostbusters (+ disastrous response to initial criticism). I don't have a huge attachment to either, so I don't care, but I remember some Trekkies being pretty pissed about the reboot plus making it darker than the original series, which was mostly hopeful.

DA

iirc, though, the outrage over the Star Trek reboot came after people had watched the film and (some of them) said, "This really doesn't feel like Star Trek to me." Whereas the outrage over the Ghostbusters reboot came as soon as it was announced that it would have an all-female team, long before the film was even made.

The Ben Hur remake came out the same week as GB here in my country.

Given that the original Ben Hur actually won Oscars and it's considered a real cinematic classic, I am wondering where there weren't people picketing the red carpet, since OBVIOUSLY this would be a bigger travesty than remaking GB.

But nope, not a peep. Hell, not even commentaries on internet about how remaking one of the greatest movies of all time might have been a bad idea.

Ghostbusters remake with women? Kill it with fire even before the first trailer hits the net.

It's still a leap to claim that it's based in sexism though. And if people don't like a trailer, say so, and get told that they MUST be sexist because reasons, that's going to stoke some fires.
