Ghostbusters: Afterlife Trailer (written and directed by Jason Reitman)
- Thread starter Khanimus
- Start date
It's an entirely different movie tonally. He's allowed to be more on board with it.
He's also allowed to not care again.
Some of the takes in here are just baffling. It's the same thing! It's too different! Where's the jokes! Too much nostalgia! Where's my cameo?!
I'm definitely interested. I feel like this first trailer was a tone piece to show the filmmakers are handling this one with a little more care, and give the basic idea for the story. It's doing something different with property that's for sure. I'm sure the jokes will be in the second trailer, along with maybe a brief appearance from one of the OGs. People always complain when Sony shows too much. Now people complain they aren't showing enough. Just give it a few more months guys, and they'll give the entire film away in the next trailer.
If anything, I'm sure this will be better than the shitty 2016 film.

I will give this a chance. I gave 2016 a chance and while it wasn't my cup of tea I know some people genuinely liked it.
Or are you going to insult his wife like that writer did as well?
*Needs citation* and you won't find it.. because he never said that.

Was gonna say, this movie isn't directed at GB fanboys at all.
ah ok then lol guess it's not so hard to forget the past then huh.
That's the issue with these reboots. They are aimed at kids and stuff, but then lean heavy on nostalgia.
You say this as if pandering and nostalgia grabs can't be shitty...
pandering and nostalgia grabs can be shitty sure, but i generally like the concept and i think this looks fun and fantastic
besides what's it cost me $10?
It doesn't look bad but I'm a little weary of reboots with teenagers. Why can't we have Ghostbusters played by adults in a modern setting and modern humor? The last attempt was meh in execution, but the intention was there.
Looks fine, I can't imagine them going any other direction with it being how old the original cast is and also missing one (RIP). I am kind of tired of seeing Stranger Things guy in everything though.
Probably because doing that would just look like a slap in the face to the last movie and also wouldn't be a good film either.
by everything do you just mean Stranger Things and the movie IT? has he really been in that many things?
How would being played by adults make it a slap to the face or a bad movie?
So many people complaining about "Why is the kid from Stranger Things in EVERYTHING?!"
I decided to look up his filmography -- other than IT, he hasn't actually been in much of anything (2 small voice acting roles and 2 minor roles in indie films). Is there some reason people seem to think he's all over the place now? Are they confusing someone else for him?

Those saying that have no actual reason for doing it other than mayBe just hating the actor for some reason.
Oh sorry 3 80's nostalgia style things in the past couple of years. That is enough for me. Do something else.
The actor is fine, I actually like him, but like branch out and do something different dude.
Why? They're rebooting the series again, I'd think that's a bigger slap in the face than trying to fix a mistake. And why it wouldn't be a good film?
The last GB was just boring and unfun, they can try and make, you know, a good comedy.
They're explicitly not rebooting it though, this is a distant sequel to GB 1/2.
Because they JUST DID a movie about adult Ghostbusters in a modern city with modern humor a few years ago. Saying "hey sorry about that we're gonna do it again but this time with guys" would understandably be seen as an insult to the last film.
As for why it would be bad, I'm sorry, there aren't any comedy actors in Hollywood I would trust to try and replicate the tone of the original Ghostbusters. We'd end up with jackasses like Kevin Hart and Seth Rogen.
The tone of the original GB is such a hard thing to get right, so I guess they figured there was no reason to even try?
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
How the fuck are you deciding that this movie won't have any comedy because a 2 minute trailer doesn't? (spoiler: the original 1984 trailer didn't have any real comedy)
How the fuck are you deciding that there are plot holes in a 2 minute disjointed cut of a 2 hour movie? (spoiler: a teaser isn't a cliffnotes summary of a movie)
What's next? Complaining that the pacing of the movie is pretty bad and that the ending was poorly built up and that they really shouldn't have made that Spider-Man crossover?

At least they aren't making it a full on goofy comedy like the reboot, which was totally the opposite of what the original Ghostbusters was.
This new film is still closer than the reboot in that respect, plus this first trailer feels like a teaser and doesn't really show too much, so it could still capture some of that original magic, while doing it's own thing too.
Yeah it looks fine. The last one was like an ok modern comedy with some GB trappings splashed around for color.
Hopefully there's still some humor in this one that isn't of the usual "oh so that just happened" *mugs* variety.
Once the original cast show up, I'm sure there will be a few moments of that old humour.
There simply wasn't enough product placement featuring rapists and racists to get them excited.
For some reason I keep watching this trailer and what I notice is what VFX is show it looks simple and decent. Proton streams look like the original streams just touched up. Slimer for the 5 seconds we got him looks a duller shade of green but its ok since hes outside.
This actually makes me happy. GB2016 was too neon and the ghosts looked like they belonged in Disneys Haunted Mansion.

What kid (or parent) is going to turn down being in the new Ghostbusters movie?
My thoughts exactly.
It's hilarious going to the YouTube videos of the trailer and seeing people happy,then come on here and see some real bizarre hot takes.
But it's Era so I'm not surprised.
Surprisingly true. There's comedy in the trailer but not as much as you'd expect.
