The effects look fantastic... still can't beat the original crew, though.
Nice trailer but am a bit disappointed that they didn't take the film in a new direction. 3 white girls and a black woman (copy of 3 white guys and a black man) the converted coffin car ect.
If it's really meant to be a later event based on previous events they didn't really need to do a carbon copy (womens version) of the former films.
I hope it's good, and I'm a big fan of Bridesmaids (and all the same actresses in this film) - but for me its just too generic.
No... but the whole point of this thread is about the trailer...
Say No to GirlBusters
Its just a remake of the original using an all female cast , personally i wished they wouldve done a sequel not a remake / reboot.
And they couldve done a co-ed ghostbusters team so no to girlbusters.
Most young people wont and thats why hollywood continues remaking and rebooting past great films and ruining them, because the young dont care.
That's not very fair actually. I think 'most' young people are quite clever and can spot a cash grab a mile off.
My nephews and nieces seem to have the inherent 'know how' they love good quality shows and 'turn off' when the TRIBBLE comes on (new or old).
Now stupid people... that's a different story
Ummmm that's my point buddy. what is this pick on people day. Geez. let me say it this way. It's 30 years later, and they could have used relatives. Is that better? haha
Although I did see this one trailer for a movie that appears to be done TOTALLY in first person view like a FPS game. THAT one just by the camera work is DOA in my opinion. Ghostbusters, on the other hand, looks like it should be good. It keeps the campy from the original, modernizes it for the 21st Century audience, and still looks to stay true to the source.
I'm willing to see this one and judge it for myself rather than write it off because "it wasn't done right". Let it stand on its own merits, just like the reboot Star Trek movies. Don't just judge on the past alone, otherwise you'll disappoint yourself 100% of the time because "its not the same".

As for the trailer... that is definitely NOT just a rehash. It's better.
My character Tsin'xing
I did not call this film a cash grab; so that's quoted a bit out of context. I don't know how the final film will look.
"NO! MY Opinion is better than yours, fool!"
Looks alright to me though. At least it's not a Charlie's Angels 2, which was just about the TRIBBLE and tiddies.
This is NOT what I have wanted for all these years, and takes a massive dump on everything I loved about it.
Now, I don't mind female GBs, I don't think that in and of itself is an issue, although I certainly would have prefered a mixed, 2 male 2 female team with a female leader. My problem is that this is not a sequel, and from this trailer doesn't seem to have that perfect combination of suspense and comedy that made the original so good. I know Sony flat out refused to do a true sequel without Bill Murray, but a true sequel with Ray and Winston overseeing a new team, with Oscar as one of the new members, would have been amazing even without the Venkman character. Considering 95% of remakes end up being a steaming pile, I don't think all this criticism is unwarranted either. Reboots like Jurassic World can work, but remakes almost universally suck.
I will still see the movie, but only so I can give examples when I complain about it.
