Supposedly by the masterminds behind the Ghostbusters remake.

This is seriously bogus, surely they must understand it's MERMAN if it's a bloke. I loved the original, Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah was great casting, I just hope they don't butcher it too badly.

ps: Coming soon: Ghandi starring Queen Latifah as Ghandi.

Merman. And it would totally work since chicks dig Tatum beefcake.

They should have used the dude that played Aquaman instead

Serious question. In mythology aren't Mermaids beautiful women to lure men into the water where Mermen, which are horribly deformed clawed beasts eat them?
