All-male Ghostbusters reboot in the works

http://www.avclub.com/article/sony-also ... men-216309 - Brace yourselves. There will also be an all-male Ghostbusters reboot alongside the all-female one. Even though we already had this in the original incarnation, it's nice to see this one done in the interest of equality.

It says that it stars the original caste. So, doesn't that mean that it's a sequel to the original 2 films (i.e. a Ghostbusters 3) rather than a reboot? That makes me wonder whether the other film with the all-female caste is really a reboot or whether it's a spin-off from the main franchise. The article suggests that they both happen in the same universe.

^ That last thing you mentioned: Interesting.....

It was mentioned in another article that a future Ghostbusters movie will be combining both male & female Ghostbusters together like The Avengers.

I'm honestly confused about the "All-male" tag that's being discussed everywhere. I don't mean to get political at all, I understand that it's a tense issue, but I don't recall ever seeing Reitman/Aykroyd/Ghostcorps mentioning that the cast would be exclusively men -- just that two are being considered. It really seems like the All-male bit was added (and later redacted) by Deadspin. I could be wrong though.

Anyway, Ghostbusters is probably my favorite movie of all time. I was supportive of the Paul Feig production, I'm supportive of this one. It's a shame that so much negativity is swirling around a silly movie that I've wished for since I was five. :\
