Didn't they take out a 2nd or 3rd mortgage on it in Ghostbusters, to start the company?

Yeah but I can't remember if he specifies that it's a farm, I think he just says something like "I grew up in that house". Clearly it's time for me to rewatch it since I don't have it memorized anymore ;p
It's a farm in the cartoon, though. But the cartoon isn't canon to the movies because the movies exist in the world of the cartoon and are based on the exploits of the cartoon GBs @w@
Yeah, I don't remember a mention of a farm. I don't think it's Rey's.
It seems like it would be Egon's family, based on the premise of their grandfather's hidden secrets or whatnot. Since Harold Ramis has passed, that seems like the most practical character to hang the legacy idea off of, then maybe reassemble the old gang.
It's very obvious it's
Egon
I'm all in for this movie, but I hope that if there's a sequel, it comes back to new york.
New york was one of the reasons why these movies worked.

What's curious to me is how old Carrie's character is, but she doesn't know anything of her father's exploits.
One of the more interesting things when comparing the original GB to the remake is that the original went to some genuinely creepy and disturbing places, specifically with the Terror Dogs, Dana's possession, and Gozer. It was a comedy but genuine elements of horror were in place and at times could be unsettling, like that conversation Ray and Winston have while driving over the bridge. (The dead rising from the grave)
I liked GB 2016 but tonally it has none of that. It's slapstick and goofiness throughout; the supernatural stuff is all very bombastic and silly.
It's a really great teaser poster; one of the best I've seen in a long while.
Why should it end up in a junkyard? Personally, I don't see the original GB gang doing that.

Yeah, definitely makes sense that one of the Ghostbusters would hold onto it as a keepsake.
That poster shot is entirely CG, isn't it? It looks too fake/blurry.. maybe it's the lens flare/bloom. Couldn't they drive a real car in a real field? The stills look promising.
Presumably this movie is taking place some decades after the original movies. Wouldn't be farfetched to think it's be junked somewhere and possibly found. Given that it seems the movie doesn't even take place in NYC, is what it is. Still really bothers me but growing up in NY/loving Ghostbusters I'm super attached to the pairing.
Yeah I'd think it would have to be a new character if it's not Egon, none of the other three fit very well and the granddaughter is obsessed with science sooo
Assuming her father is Egon, it's possible that he 1. specifically hid it from her, and based on the article 2. died before she ever got to know him. He could have passed when she was a baby or very young, or he could have died more recently but went out of his way to keep himself and his past from her. Again, the public in Ghostbuster movies have memories like goldfish.
To his credit, Paul Feig very openly wanted to make Answer the Call much more horror based, but Sony and McCarthy fought him tooth and nail on it.
His original idea for the reboot was VERY different than what we got. He didn't want the Ecto-1, Slimer, the Firehouse, etc, he wanted the Proton Packs to be more sleek and modern looking, and he wanted it to be actually legit scary. I like AtC but I would have really liked to see his original idea.

Probably hand-drawn or CG render, yeah. If it is live-action then they applied some weird filter.
Holy shit seriously? I did not realize that.
Yeah...I would have liked to see that too.
Im curious about this movie but it's giving me a really bad taste in my mouth exactly for this reason.
I find a lot of movie posters feature a shit load of film grain to hide some dubious photoshopping.
But given the setup is (probably) Egon's farm being inherited by his family, I certainly think it being in his barn makes more sense than it being junked by him or the gang.
I get the NYC thing though; GB is very much a NY story.
This looks amazing. Can't be worse than the last one. Actresses deserved better. Feig can do better. I loved all his other movies
While that's not entirely unfair, the fact that it was a pretty mediocre film has just as much to do with you not seeing Holtzmann again as men being pissed. And furthermore, cross-dimensional rips happen. You never know who could step through.
IDW's Ghostbusters comics, much like their TMNT comics, are the best interpretation of their respective IPs in my opinion. The IDW Ghostbusters have even had crossover events with every other version of the Ghostbusters you can think of and it's fantastic.
IDW's Metal Gear Solid comics are also amazing and I'm sad they never covered Snake Eater.
I agree it was an incredible shit show but that really has nothing to do with this film.
The Internet is crawling with Alt-Right Incel bullshit; just look at the vulgarity hurled at the characters of Rey and Rose in the Star Wars films.
And GB 2016 (which I liked quite a bit) flopped hard at the box office. Regardless of whether or not this film got made, a sequel to that movie was never going to happen.
At least with this film they seem to be putting a female character front and center. As I understand it, she's essentially the lead.
Oh, and I agree with you: Holtzmann was awesome. :)
Why would you assume that?
Maybe for certain FX shots but there would be no reason not to use an actual vehicle for any number of scenes.
Love the poster.
I really hope they can pull this off and make another good GB movie. Hell if the cast and movie is good, I'd be up for more of them, with the younger cast taking over as the lead Ghostbusters, kinda like a live action Extreme Ghostbusters.

Ivan Reitman runs the Ghost Corps label I think... so technically he should have a ton of input, but I think he stepped back and let Paul Feig do his own thing with his movie.
I see more reason for him to be involved with this project because Jason Reitman is more passionate about it and will leverage Reitman and Aykroyd in a consultant capacity in regards to the story.
Paul Rudd and Finn Wolfhard being part of this has me more interested than any announcement they've made.
Ditto.
It was embarrassing. As a Ghostbusters fan and a Star Wars fan, I have to say I've been completely disgusted by the overt toxicity, misogyny, and racism I see from some members of the fanbase. It's definitely soured me some on the IPs as a whole.
I really enjoyed GB 2016, primarily the chemistry of the cast, and the fact that I'll watch anything Kate McKinnon is in because she's amazing. The movie wasn't fantastic, but I thought it was funny and entertaining. It was different from the OG films, but I don't hold the originals to some untouchable standard that will be impossible to reproduce.
I fondly remember the hype and excitement for the release of GB2 when I was 9-10 years old, and it's simply not possible for that magic feeling of seeing those films for the first time, so I don't ever expect these sequels/reboots to iconic franchises to "make me feel like a kid again." It really is an impossible standard to meet. GB2016 was flawed and fun. I personally know more people from my friend circle and coworkers that really liked it over hating it to the level that I was seeing online.
Interesting to take the setting out of the city. That is not something that would have occurred to me to do.
I'm looking forward to seeing the trailer.
