The rumor is that at least Murray dons a proton pack again. He did an interview like two years ago talking about how he forgot how heavy they were.
That looks pretty good. That is probably the "right" tone for a sequel like this. There is literally no recapturing the tone of the originals. Movies like that aren't fucking made any more, and I don't know how you try and do it without seeming weird and cheesy. So, you might as well go for the heartfelt nostalgia cheese.
I think they're all here. I expected Ray to be more than a cameo. Not like, the main star or anything, but I assume he's going to be this movie's version of Han Solo from Force Awakens, in a way.

Why would any company continue to brand their marshmallows with the stay puff brand after what happened in 1984.... that's my question.
Otherwise I'm in :P

OK now here's the real clincher: will there be a bottle of crystal head vodka hidden on a shelf in the bookstore?
I don't have huge nostalgia for the originals either, but because of that I'm kind of interested. Like, it's spot the reference, and since I don't really hold any of these characters as childhood icons, I can just laugh at slimer.
Looks really by-the-numbers in terms of modern action movies and nostalgia mining, but that probably means it's less likely to misfire like Ghostbusters 2016.
Not entirely clear they remembered to make a comedy here either.

This looks so aggressively checklisted off and "fine" like they didn't want to piss off the people who hated GB2016.
I knew that was slimer in the first trailer but they were obscuring it!
To the "this doesn't seem funny" crowd, I bet it's the way they cut this trailer.
At the very least, the kids chasing slimer all over town is going to have some laughs.

I hate that this exists purely because it's feeding right into the idiots that bitched, moaned, and got downright cruel over the 2016 film.
And fuck those guys, holy shit. Fuck them so much.
Edit: I know Sony owns Columbia Pictures but what the hell at that random PS5 controllers ad at the end?

It's okay to dislike a film. It's not okay to go full incel over a film.
That's not slimer, it's one of the new ghosts created for this movie.
That's right, I forgot that. It's fine honestly, it's not necessarily a bad thing (though it is with Pyramid Head) as long as there's some kind of acknowledgment. I bet they'll acknowledge why some of the familiar things are showing up here too then.
I'm going to watch it regardless, but I'm not really feeling this. Seems way too heavily indebted to Stranger Things.
It's not Slimer according to the commentary on the trailer.
Apparently because audiences now like Slimer (due to the 80s cartoon) they wanted to get back to having a more gross monster. He's called Muncher.

That looks like slimer to me. Slimer adjacent anyway. My point still stands, I'm sure there will be jokes aplenty in that sequence.
I'm looking forward to this movie, but I'm also feeling I might end up being too serious for my liking. We'll see, but I did appreciate that about the 2016 film, made me laugh a lot in the theaters. I enjoyed it.
I'm in. This trailer definitely tickled my childhood nostaglia.
, so it's no secret it's a follow up on GB1. I'll take that over GB2 in a grand scheme of things.
I mean the first trailer already have
Shandor's company
In the commentary for the trailer (lol) Reitman says it's like a slimer. Same type of ghost. Says that Slimer became the "Dalmatian of the firehouse" and people forgot he was "angry dude, and scary" which is absolutely correct.
Apparently he's called Muncher. Not dissimilar to Slimer though I'll give you that.
I mean, yeah, those haters can go pound sand.. but if this was a movie pivoting directly back to another comedy reboot, I could see that complaint. But unless this trailer is completely misleading, this is a totally different tone and style of movie than the original two. We're in the age of reboots and revivals, Ghostbusters was going to come back eventually. I'm glad they're trying something other than comedy with it.
Yeah, that makes sense. Make him a variation on Slimer so you can use him for Slimer's original purpose.
Looks entertaining, but something I don't think will have lasting impact. I hope I am wrong, since I would love to see a sequel become a new modern classic, but I think this will end up in the pile of other fun but forgettable sequels along with Indianna Jones 4 and Jurassic World, rather than the pile with Mad Max Fury Road and Halloween (2018) etc.
RIGHT in the nostalgia ❤️ Looks amazing. I just want a Ghostbusters that calls back to the first two, and this looks like it'll do just that.
Looks like a lot of fun. I'm absolutely feeling it.
(Funny to see people saying it's a Stranger Things knockoff when Stranger Things is, y'know, a pastiche of countless knockoffs).

Sony would be fucking THRILLED if this ends up like Jurassic World. Lol.
