WI: No Animal House

Another possible ripple effect if Harold Ramis doesn't become a hot property: there goes Ghostbusters.

When Ramis died three years ago, Obama paid tribute. I remember thinking that Obama likely would not have made those remarks, or even known who Ramis was, had he not had a starring role in Ghostbusters.

As a comparison, does anyone think Ivan Reitman, whose career closely parallels that of Ramis(EXCEPT for a starring role), will get a presidential send-off?
 
Assuming other early Ramis films are actually done away with, rather than butterflied (a mighty big assumptiin, IMO - see above), Ghostbusters won't necessarily dissapear. It was Aykroyd's baby, not Ramis's. It might look a lot more like the original concept Ghostmashers with wizards traveling through space and time dressed in riot gear and weilding wands without Ramis.
