The Twist: Any one of the four leading ladies dies and, in a comical twist, returns as a ghost sidekick for all future movies.

Why It Could Ruin The Movie: Granted, there are plenty of things that could ruin this movie, but recycling the twist from a rejected Ghostbusters 3 script (where Bill Murray dies and haunts the remaining Ghostbusters) is probably a pretty bad way to go. Like Murray himself has said, it's a cute idea, but would require pin-sharp execution to actually get right, as it would significantly alter the group dynamic.

How Likely Is It?: Not very. McCarthy and Wiig almost certainly won't die due to their fame, while McKinnon and Jones could, but again, it's hard to imagine the filmmakers opting for something so brazen on the first movie out of the gate. They will want to focus on establishing a fun rapport between the group above all else. 2/10
