What do you guys think about the trailer for the new ghostbusters movie ? :shock:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289401/?pf_rd_m=A2FGELUUNOQJNL&pf_rd_p=2425443582&pf_rd_r=17FJ6DZSCF1G4HP9J593&pf_rd_s=hero&pf_rd_t=15061&pf_rd_i=homepage&ref_=hm_hp_cap_pri_1
 
Looks dreadful, stayed with virtually the same movie scene for scene and replaced the actors. What could go wrong, other than the fact that two of the original cast were comedy geniuses?
 
Dreadful - Sometimes you write off a movie before seeing it and love it when you do, but this... No chance. All the actresses are like cardboard whenever I've seen their movies before - This should be called, 'bridesmaids 2.'
 
I must say I was a surprised to see the old guys was not back as the leading actors :shock:

4 girls I am very much surprised :shock:

But with Dan Aykroyd as the writer of the movie, then what could go wrong :?

Sigourney Weaver, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson is also back in the movie.
 
I could have tolerated a star wars/star trek style re imagining but this truly looks horrendous

I'm just not sure...The look of it is visually good, effects and all!


But the jokes seemed really corny and intentional.

Plus it seems like getting four women to do it is just a hip way of redoing a film...bit like the female Starbuck in Battles tar galatica

I loved the original...think any redoing of it would not be greatly welcome!
 
They could have done a redo similar to TFA with lots if nods to the original introducing new characters etc. However they went with the same movie, with new leads. I have no problems with female leads (it worked in SW), but people are going to compare them to the original cast and few people can compare.

Foolish and lazy.
 
The original got the balance of being a kids film and funny for adults absolutely perfect. This looks like it hasn't managed it.
 
I think it may be ok actually. I don't mind 4 women being the main leads, it's something different. The jokes are dated but it is a reboot of an 80s movie.

Ye-ehhhh..errr..no! I'll bet you Richard that it's total bollocks :wink:

Someone said it looked like Bridesmaids 2 which is exactly the sort of comedy that sprung to mind when i saw these lead characters and the type of humor. About as subtle as a Youtube comment board. I'll wager that one of them is fat, loud, crass and sex mad :roll:
 
The youtube trailer has got 275K down votes. I don't think it's just us guys that think this is going to be an atrocious movie.

Hollywood needs to stop rebooting 80's franchises, they always turn out gash.
 
Not for me... they can't even get the story of the original film right.

"Four scientists saved New York" .....er NO.. Winston was not a scientist !!
 
As soon as I heard they were remaking it with four women in the lead roles, i thought it was a ******* stupid idea. I've no intention of going to see it, and from your reactions to the trailer, i'm refusing to even watch it, it sounds like i won't b missng out.

Just hollywood running out of ideas and trying a new PC version of a reboot. Pathetic and unwanted. Jog on!

With you there on not wanting to see it. I didn't actually make it through the whole trailer it was that ****. I am genuinely surprised it looks as bad as it does :roll:

Generally I would agree with you, I actually thought the idea of 4 women characters night make it interesting. I dont even have any buy into those comedians (having never seen any of them before), but people thought TFA was lazy, comparatively it makes this look old hat. This seems to be the same story, except swapping women for men. Women actors deserve way better than that, they could have done a similar thing to TFA, given the women there own characters and used the originals as references. imight attempt to watch it on Prime or something in the future, not holding out much hope though!!
 
:shock: Another shocking reboot....the only thing that might be it's saving grace is apprarenly the original Ghostbusters cast will be making cameo appearances​, so it might be worth watching just for that. At least they kept the theme music :D
 
Why do this to me :shock:
I will have to watch it, then it will ruin how much I love the original :cry:
Even the trailer looks crap and that's probly the best bits :?

Yes its true this film has no dick

:)

Jason

:lol:

The lack of dick ain't the issue (if we're being all PC about it) but having seen the trailer twice I will eat my own eyeballs before watching it. Utter *****.
 
Should we understand the movie like it is a Ghostbusters 3 movie ?

30 years after the old guys saved the world from ghosts, then the ghosts is back and a new team of ghosthunters is ready to fight them ?
