30 movies that need the Lego treatment so bad it’s wrong
4. Ghostbusters
Premise of the movie: The original Ghostbusters in 1984 was a supernatural comedy about three parapsychologists. They help to rid New York City of the ghosts haunting people. Of course nobody initially believes that there are ghosts, but that doesn’t stop the three men working as a team to get things done.
The movie was remade in 2016 with an all-female lead cast (and Chris Hemsworth as the dumb secretary). It wasn’t exactly widely appreciated, which moves us into the reason the Lego treatment is needed.
Why it needs the Lego treatment: The original Ghostbusters was fun. Who didn’t love watching Bill Murray run around with a gun that could kill ghosts? It was the perfect comedy for the time. The remake attempted to make it more modern, but nothing could top the comedic genius of the original movie.
Well, that is except Lego. A Lego version of the movie (not just the sets we’ve seen) would help to keep the comedic elements and could bring in more fun, humor, and a modern day twist without going over the top. The supernatural elements would be much easier to create. There are already Lego sets, so it wouldn’t be that hard to create a movie version of the original movie.
There would even be an opportunity to blend the two movie versions together. A mixture of male and female parapsychologist saving the world.
