"If there is a steady paycheck involved, I'll believe in anything."
"Good. You're hired"
Notice how when he said that... It never came across as anything more then a guy looking for a job. He didn't throw any swag in that shit.
How'd you see it already? I wanna see it.
There wasn't any racist shit in the the first one. They didn't turn Winston into some Street Smart loud idiot. Winston was just a regular dude. I don't think anything would have changed if he was played by a white actor. He wasn't even racist in the cartoon.

winston was actually smart/wise..remember when him and ray was in the car together talking about the end of times winston was actually spitting some knowledge of what was suppose to happen
That's what I mean, but remember the knowledge he spent. He didn't throw it back to Ray with some kind of Street wise attitude. It was just a normal conversation between two guys and one just happened to be White. Winston was just smooth. There was nothing about Ghostbusters that came across as 3 white dudes and a black guy. It was just Ghostbusters. This remake shit posted today.....
very true it was more like the 3 scientist with the smart hard working normal guy..in fact that was the on going joke in the movie..like when they got arrested he was like i kno what they say mite sound crazy and hard to believe and hell i wouldn't believe it to..but in the past few weeks hanging with these guys i seen some shit that blew my mind away...he came off as the guy hanging out with conspiracy theorist and people looking at him like what are you doin hanging out with them nutjobsThat's what I mean, but remember the knowledge he spent. He didn't throw it back to Ray with some kind of Street wise attitude. It was just a normal conversation between two guys and one just happened to be White. Winston was just smooth.

This will not work, what's worst not a single original cast member is at least making a cameo??!! Can you say "The last airbender?' remember that? We thought his name was Aang (like "hang") when it was Anng like "Unng" and they kept saying like that everyone in the theater was like WTF?!!
Looks like I'm not watching this.
To cleanse your mind, here's a fav episode of mine from "The Real Ghostbusters" A nice Winston Epsiode. Also, this ccartoon was creepy as fuck at times. ANother fav episode of mine is when the old ladies attic was hunted by a demon her father made a deal with
I dont like the look of the ghosts in this one. The originals ghosts creeped me out when i was a kid
I hope there's more to Leslie Jones' character. The one black friend who apparently isn't as smart as the three white scientists bothered me.

i knew what ep this was before i hit play
the original cast are making cameos..but as different characters
You are not serious.
he is..it's been talked about on here
Hollywood is the worst
now the new theory thats going around online is that they pulling some "The Force Awakens" mess..the original cast doing cameos as different people but they actually ARE the OG characters using aliases,and they all come together for a scene during or after the credits
oh god no...it would only make sense because they juss put 30 yrs lata like there is a connection btw the two
maybe the sound track will be good
most likely with Kanye West's "Ghostbusters 2016" w/ guest vocals by Beyonce
Oh true they did but this was back in the 80s they fucked over a lot of us back then.... And I guess still fucking us over now. The movie didn't protray him that way though.
^^^^^
this man gets it. That's why I grew up wanting to be like Winston, especially when you look at how other black characters were portrayed back then. He wasn't some kind of loud funny cartoon or sex symbol.. He showed how a regular everyday black guy could end up having amazing adventures and just be himself. This movie ruins what made the first one work. I don't know if it would have had the same effect if Eddie stayed in the role. They would have probably wanted him to be a Eddie Murphy character.
This cartoon was and is still way ahead of its time especially before they changed it to slimmer and the real ghostbusters.
I look back on Ghostbusters in a very fun way, but it’s got so many mixed feelings and emotions attached to it. When I originally got the script, the character of Winston was amazing and I thought it would be career-changing. The character came in right at the very beginning of the movie and had an elaborate background: he was an Air Force major something, a demolitions guy. It was great.
Now I’ve heard, over the years, that the part had been written for Eddie Murphy—all of which Ivan Reitman says is not true. But it was a bigger part, and Winston was there all the way through the movie. After a long audition process, I finally got the part and made the awful mistake of letting it be known that I really, really wanted it. In Hollywood in those days, you set your quote—so if anybody calls about wanting to work with you, they had to meet your quote. I had just worked with Columbia on Spacehunter, and my quote was pretty decent. For Ghostbusters, they came in at only half of my quote, because they said this role was going to make my career. I said to my agent, “I don’t care. Just take it, because I believe that.” So we go to New York and we rehearse for three weeks or whatever and I’m ready to roll.
The night before filming begins, however, I get this new script and it was shocking. The character was gone. Instead of coming in at the very beginning of the movie, like page 8, the character came in on page 68 after the Ghostbusters were established. His elaborate background was all gone, replaced by me walking in and saying, “If there’s a steady paycheck in it, I’ll believe anything you say.” So that was pretty devastating.
I’m panicked. I don’t sleep that night. It was like my worst nightmare is happening. The next morning, I rush to the set and plead my case. And Ivan basically says, “The studio felt that they had Bill Murray, so they wanted to give him more stuff to do.” I go, “Okay, I understand that, but can I even be there when they’re established?” And of course, he said no, there’s nothing to do about it. It was kind of awkward, and it became sort of the elephant in the room.
I see this differently now—and I don’t mean any kind of animosity or anything towards anyone, certainly not towards Ivan or the guys. I was a single dad, and we were struggling to kind of hold on and pay the rent. I still needed to do this job. 30 years later, I look back at the movie and it works very well the way it is. I think the character works with what he has to work with. But I’ve always felt like, “Man, if I could’ve played that original character…”
Winston wasn’t included in the movie poster or the trailer and all that stuff. I felt, had the original character been in play at the beginning, that would’ve been different because it would’ve clearly been four guys. It would’ve sent a signal to the studios and very likely impacted my career in a different way. I think the fans see the Ghostbusters as four characters. I do some of the conventions, and I’ve met thousands of people, and I deputize kids as Little Ghostbusters. And the question I always used to get was, “Where does Winston go?” That’s the thing with Winston: He will pop up and then disappear.
They used to like to say that Danny’s the heart of the Ghostbusters, Harold was the brain, Bill was the mouth, and Ernie was the soul. When I heard that quote, I was blown away. And then I saw them on the Tonight Show and there was no mention of the Soul. So Winston could always disappear.
People say, “Well, he’s sort of the Everyman, he’s kind of the guy who helps the audience understand.” I love the character and he’s got some great lines, but I felt the guy was just kind of there. I love the movie, I love the guys. I’m very thankful to Ivan for casting me. I’m very thankful that fans appreciate the Winston character. But it’s always been very frustrating—kind of a love/hate thing, I guess.
I credit Ghostbusters, actually, for lessons I learned—how you deal with stuff when it doesn’t work out the way you want and you still got to keep doing it, how you keep a career going when it doesn’t turn to be all these things you dreamed of doing. I’ve been blessed, and I don’t want to make it a negative. I’ve survived this 30 years because of what I learned on Ghostbusters; you learn to adjust. What I did was I turned to TV. I literally did a different television show almost every week, going from show to show. I was a single dad and I had to survive.
The sad part is the thing that I thought that Ghostbusters would do, which is really kickstart my career into high gear, it never really materialized. I’ve never been told that I’ve gotten a job because of Ghostbusters; I think there have been a few jobs that I’ve lost [because of it]. Since [the movie], I’ve been given and taken advantage of the opportunity to perform a myriad of challenging roles, so what am I complaining about?
Now 30 years later, seeing little kids with their Ghostbusters backpacks, seeing whole families dress up—the movie has a special place, and I’m very humbled and touched by it. I certainly am thankful to have been a part of it. I love being an actor. I still enjoy the process. I’m still hoping that I’m going to get that one great role that I thought I had in the original Ghostbusters. 30 years later, I’m still looking.

I don't believe that if the winston character was kept in tact the movie would have suffered. Ghostbusters was driven by great writing, great special FX and great chemistry between the actors and characters..Bill Murry was a big name back then but I seriously DOUBT if ernie hudson was more of a presence audiences would have said I WISH THEY GAVE BILL MURRAY MORE TO DO!..The studio made an unnecessary calculation.
So, if I read this right the black character is actually regressing. Next it'll be Ghostbusters Gone With The Wind.
