Something legal? So you're not for seeing a new Ghostbusters team, that doesn't interest you? But the big threat of the movie being something legal would intrigue you? Sounds odd to me.
A new team may not be original, but it may be necessary at this point. And with the generic statement you made about “Ghostbusters hire a new team, Ghostbusters train new team, some strange paranormal occurance happens and the new team manage to help save the day.”… that's the same thing as “Ghostbusters are still in business, some strange paranormal occurance happens and they manage to save the day.” That's what Ghostbusters is man. Just because new guys would be involved in the process doesn't make it unoriginal and make the story uninteresting.

Exactly! So what would be the purpose in introducing a new team? What would it add to the movie?
I want an original story. I want something different. No, the introduction of a new team does not interest me and it will just mean less screen time for Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis and Hudson and those are the guys I want to see even if they are in their late 50s/early 60s. Those are the characters which we fell in love with. There is also a danger in having too many characters in a movie. It can weaken the story and become disjointed. It can do more harm than good.
And yes some new event or problem whether a legal one such as for instance the Ghostbusters having to abide by new regulations and service standards, a social one such as people who may not want ghosts of loved ones caught or a completely new kind of supernatural danger such as a lunatic with the knowledge of black magic. These are just examples but the original characters having to deal with such issues/problems would interest me more than a new team joining the company.
