The Gist: Nothing to do with the animated series of the same name, this would be a straight horror-movie treatment of the franchise, with Slimer-based chuckles replaced by change-your-underwear scares, as the old fire station falls prey to a sinister presence. Aykroyd has talked up casting female Ghostbusters, so this could be the perfect vehicle for some classic Scream-Queenery. With proton packs.

Pros: The first movie was genuinely creepy in places, so why not take that to the next level? Plus, we like Aykroyd’s picks Eliza Dushku and Alyssa Milano to play the Ghostbuster-ettes.

Cons: No gags? Can’t see Bill Murray signing on for this one then…
