Looks alright, not surprised really, following the reception of the trailer of the hack’s film, the trailer was always going to be decent.

The original lot all involved?

ScouserAtHeart · « **Reply #3 on:** December 9, 2019, 04:16:07 pm »

Looks decent. I'll go see it. Hopefully it's better than the last one

Casta · « **Reply #4 on:** December 9, 2019, 05:07:17 pm »

All the original cast members from Ghostbusters 1 & 2 in this, (with the exception of Harold Ramis), Cant be any worse than that recent shite reboot.

Sheer Magnetism · « **Reply #5 on:** December 9, 2019, 05:28:17 pm »

Already looks a million miles better than the awful Paul Feig film, and glad to see Paul Rudd involved. I always thought the ideal time for a reboot/sequel would have been a decade or so ago with the original rough roles in the team taken by Rudd (Ray), Chris Rock (Peter), Tina Fey (Egon) and Sean William Scott (Winston), but this Stranger Things version should be okay at the very least. My heart jumped a little with that snatch of Ecto 1 roaring through the streets with the siren on.

Did you not see the warehouse shot with the amorphous blob in it?

Red Beret · « **Reply #8 on:** December 9, 2019, 06:34:33 pm »

Just watched the trailer again. It looks very good. I like the slant they are taking with it, just having kids. If the follow up trailers are any good I might actually pay money to watch this.

Ha ha!

It looks better than the Paul Feig one - although that's not difficult - and Jason Reitman's involved so that's a huge positive.

J-Mc- · « **Reply #11 on:** December 9, 2019, 07:57:20 pm »

Jason Reitman has had this idea in his head for a long term according to a few interviews, the original cast are in it but probably be a cameo at the very end I reckon, sort of a back up to the kids saving the day.

Really like the look of this.

Nice use of a Peter Venkman quote towards the end as well (sounded like Bill Murray to me as well)

It was Bill Murray, and I think it's him now repeating the line rather than being lifted from the original film - he sounds old saying it lol. But it's the kind of thing I could imagine him telling a kid who has busted their first ghost.

wampa1 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 10, 2019, 01:38:23 pm »

It looks like one of those expensive trailers that people make for films that will never happen, like that Fresh Prince one.

It does look like a decent film in its own right though, which is a good thing. I'm not sold on the Star Wars-esque huge thing that happened 30 years ago being forgotten but we'll see how it plays out.

Stranger Things kid is starting to bug me with his ubiquity though.

My two decade ago cast was Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau and Ron Livingston - basically the cast of Swingers. My film was called Ghostbusters Inc. and the whole thing had been franchised and was run by Walter Peck who had booted the original GBs off the board and opened up GB branches worldwide : D

Pretty much my reaction to that.

I dunno. Just because it looks like a better idea than Ghostbusters 2016 (not hard to do) doesn't mean it still looks good. Also got a bit of a Force Awakens vibe to that. Not a good vibe to have.

Ever seen that South Park episode where Stan just thinks everything is shit? Just shit in his ears, shit coming out of peoples mouths, shit on TV, shit in the cinema, just shit everywhere.

Not the only one that got TFA feeling from the trailer. Still, it might be OK. One thing I don't get, though: why would kids not know about the Ghostbusters, and ghosts, in this universe if it's canon? I mean, they saved NY city and the world twice. They blew up a giant marshmallow man and made the Statue of Liberty walk and punch a hole in a museum roof that was surrounded by slime. You'd think that would get some sort of historical importance enough for people to know what happened nearly 40 years on? Suppose not. Gotta educate the kids what Ghostbusters was now today, I suppose.

Devon Red · « **Reply #28 on:** December 11, 2019, 06:50:17 pm »

I've never seen a trailer more obviously derived from a one-line pitch. "It's, uh, Ghostbusters but with the kids from Stranger Things in it".

Red Beret · « **Reply #29 on:** July 27, 2021, 07:50:56 pm »

A new trailer has dropped for this. Looks quite endearing, even though it'll almost certainly be the third (fourth?) films with the same plot. Trading heavily on nostalgia I think.

Stranger Things rip-off three years too late and a bunch of 'member berries

Macphisto80 · « **Reply #32 on:** July 27, 2021, 09:37:26 pm »

Having this exist after the 2016 abomination just seems weird now. Especially when Annie Potts and Dan Ackroyd all had cameos that weren't canon but are in this.

Red Beret · « **Reply #33 on:** July 27, 2021, 11:13:35 pm »

I never watched the 2016 GB; as far as my brain is concerned, it never happened. And I've not watched Stranger Things either, so I'm totally free of bias and actually looking forward to.this film.

Grobbelrevell · « **Reply #34 on:** July 28, 2021, 09:14:50 am »

Sounds like I'm in a minority here, but I quite like the look of this.

No surprise to hear that I really enjoyed Stranger Things as well.

El Lobo · « **Reply #35 on:** July 28, 2021, 09:24:40 am »

Looks alright to me

Produced by the original director, directed by his kid, decent cast (with Paul Rudd who always delivers) and all of the originals back.....as the originals. Should hopefully be a nice way to wash that car-crash remake from everyones memory.

I'm sure those saying it looks shit and its shit they've made another one will be finding a way to watch it....to tell us how shit it was.

[new username under construction] · « **Reply #36 on:** July 28, 2021, 09:42:50 am »

The only thing I went "ooh" at was Ackroyd at the end, the rest looks like a dumb kids film

Barefoot Doctor · « **Reply #37 on:** July 28, 2021, 10:04:59 am »

So I think the film looks alright, but I hope they remember that Ghostbusters was, first and foremost, a comedy. From the trailer (which may not be representative of the film) this looks like it's taking itself way too seriously.

Nostalgia is everything now though, so not surprised we're getting a film that treats Ghostbusters not for what it actually was - a really funny film that didn't take itself seriously at all - but instead looks at it as this beloved thing that has to be honoured.

The one from a few years ago was obviously awful, but I reckon they at least had the right idea of just doing a straight comedy without feeling the need to pay homage to the original at every turn, bar a few cameos.

PaulF · « **Reply #38 on:** July 28, 2021, 10:17:46 am »

Is this remake that everyone is slating the one with ladies as the Ghostbusters? That really wasn't good. But it wasn't terrible. It just didn't need to be made.

Off to watch the oceans 11 remake (2)to see if that was any better....

I think it's fine if it's a different genre to the originals, as long as it's a well made movie. The 2016 one just seemed like a bunch of people fucking around not caring for a few months and then getting mad when people didn't adore what was left at the end.
