Searched the AMC Theaters site to see if they had any more information on it. I found
this instead.
Despite how mediocre it turned out to be, I think the
Shaft reboot actually got it right: it's TECHNICALLY a sequel, as the original Shaft appears (and they make it clear that Samuel L. Jackson's Shaft is the original's nephew), but they made it its own movie.
This got me thinking. Instead of going with a straightforward sequel or another lame-ass reboot (it made me laugh that the author of that blog I linked said nobody born after 1989 knows of the movie, because it's not like it's one of the single most beloved
comedies movies of the last 30 years or anything), I actually would kinda dig the idea of the original team only making cameo appearances as themselves, maybe taking the GB company in the movie into a franchise with the original team only around as the head chairmen, or at least primary stock holders. I could see Ray and Egon heading the research and development department, Venkman as the company's spokesperson, and Winston as one of the head trainers for new recruits. They'd basically be a privatized version of the fire department, a main theme could be the government wanting to take over their business and run it, antitrust lawsuits, etc.
