Thanks for sharing that. Bloomin loved the original Ghostbusters and this looks promising 🤞

Looks good, lets all try to forget any Ghost based 'comedies' that were released in 2016 like they never happened.

It's a sequel, but it's pretty far removed from the original, new themes, new characters, probably a few nice ties to the originals, doesn't seem to need to piss all over it's legacy either, which is nice.

I was thinking Stranger Things, but that might be because one of the actors from ST is in the trailer.

Looks promising. A bit Ghostbusters Teen perhaps. Though the charm of the original was the comedy and it looks like this isn't one.

Ha! Good spot.

Pity Harold Ramis can't be in it; not bothered if Bill Murray isn't available.

Over the years Murray has flip-flopped countless times over whether he's going to sign up to another Ghostbusters film or not (and backed out of a few after previously agreeing to them). The fact that he's involved in this one - and he is - can only be a good sign.

yeah, hope they're not just jumping on the ST/retro bandwagon, it does look quite good from the trailer though!

Of course, the internet nerds have been examining it in detail:

Most interesting thing in the trailer has to be the name of the mining company they're visiting:

It's "Shandor," as in "Ivo Shandor, the architect of the building in New York that summoned Gozer."

Seems the last few ‘woke’ film fans left are taking to Twitter to moan about it. It’s very White / Male or indeed White Male apparently.

Aside from it being centred around a young girl turning Ghostbuster, if what I've read thus far is to be believed. Alison Bechdel is on the phone...

Damned if you do and damned if you don't these days. Look at all the butthurt INCELs crying about the reboot a few few years ago.

The reboot was terrible though, it felt like they took a 3 minute SNL sketch and stretched it into a movie.

Anything else I've missed?

Actually, that looks like it might be pretty good! The rubber on those tyres, though, makes me very nervous. I hope they get them changed. Michelin CrossClimates for the win.

Kid of original film maker makes film about kids of original film characters. All a bit meta (but kind of geekily cool) ...

Am kind of excited, but needs snarky laughs to be a proper follow up.

Uh huh, so a Hollywood studio isn't exploiting your fond memories of a well loved film so they don't really have to come up with any new ideas, and consequently save a bunch of time and money on anything approaching a script. They'll just stuff the film full of "easter eggs" to get the nerds on You tube endlessly spaffing (sly political satire shoehorned in) over carefully released trailers that will ultimately end up in a joyless and most likely plotless marketing exercise produced in a blue screen warehouse in order to ruthlessly push merchandising...

Right...You haven't been paying much attention to the Hollywood model, have you?

I had to Google 'woke' and 'INCEL' - although my kids told be what 'hench' is........

Still no idea what a 'gammon', 'zoomer' or 'soy boy' is though....

Can't be...the kids in this one see clips of the first film as news reels, also they have a trap from back in the day, so definitely not the first film's characters as kids.

I reckon Murray is the Grandad and the kid is offspring from Bill and Sigourney.

The internet never forgets. Neither the ghosts of Brexmas past.

The future is a populist portmanteau. A poopmanteau, if you will. There will never be enough ‘shredders’ so best to just walk away from the internet and apologise to our own brains for the rest of our days.

We can do this by being awesome offline, while the rest of humanity clickbait themselves into post — post-ironic, double-negative antisocial oblivion.

I’m so old that I remember when films were called films...(wibble) and this film looks like it could be fun. One way to spoil it would be to spend the next six months discussing it online in a binary left vs right black vs white male vs female kind of way. It’s a kid’s film. We never did that about the Doubledeckers or Herbie IIRC.

Anyway, back to the film. They've got be be Spenglers grandkids surely, possibly Ray Stantz's, but Spengler would be the one who kept the kit after there were no more ghosts to bust.  It would also be a nice way for keeping the character in the story without Harold Ramis.

Hopefully Bill, Dan and Ernie get a reasonable look in for us old folks but I want my kids to love this as much as I did of the first movie.  Ghostbusters meets the Goonies looks fantastic.

Oh without a doubt (in my mind at least):

The Female / Child Lead's glasses and hair make her look like Egon.
It's Egon's over-alls shown.
Of course the Actor has sadly passed so makes sense it would be Egon that's died too.

Will there be any steaming femme fatales, with terror dogs on standby? Those scenes messed my young mind up. I remember being angered when it was apparent that Gozer was the corrupting bad-daddy-pimpmeister, and that he made her ‘bad’ and I wanted her to be ‘good’. But not be too good. Bad-good. Or good-bad? Which was weird because I was a 16 yr old kid and she was 20 years older than me, not to mention a famous actress. Not to mention that Gozer was neither male nor female, or that it was just a film. Hormones mkeh 🤪

Hang on, this could be Tremors 7, unexplained vibrations below ground. My god this film gets better every time I watch the ad.  Though the farm house looks very walking dead, watch out for zombies in that barn!

Of course they are but its being sold as exactly that isnt it?. It might be an enjoyable couple of hours. Plenty of new original films / scripts out there as well as this.

It looks very stranger things to me.

Murray is listed in the cast, possibly to make up for appearing in the 2016 effort

Dan Aykroyd is too, which I am much happier about

I was a bit young to register the full effect of Dana in her shiny dress until years later.

Catwoman in Batman Returns though? Jeezus. That did some lasting damage.

And they show his collection of spores, moulds and fungus! It's definitely Egon's old house.

Talking of easter eggs/references, I like the couple of high piano notes.

I'm going to say I feel a lot better about this with the new trailer, plenty fan service and hopefully respectful to the original and i'm in. Stay Puft, Rays Occult Bookshop and Sigourney Weaver/Rick Moranis cameo 😉 according to the trailer
