The New Ghostbusters Trailer Has Arrived
March 3, 2016 by brennon
The new Ghostbusters trailer has arrived showing off this reboot of the original that was so well loved. While a lot of people haven't been taking the news that well about Ghostbusters coming back I was smiling a bit after watching the trailer. Maybe this could grow on me?
The cast includes Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth who are going to be donning the jumpsuits and getting ready to trap some spirits.
You can watch the trailer above and make your own mind up as to what you think of the new line-up.
Drop your thoughts below...
who you gona call……… Bill Murray and dan aykroyd and ask them whyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
film looks terrible
I’m on the fence, but I’m cautiously and hopefully optimistic…
Truthfully, i Just really want nice ghostbusters minis, and a 1:43 eco 1 that isn’t hundreds of dollars. :S
I’m underwhelmed, though I’d like to stress that the gender of leads has nothing to do with it.
ha ha love the gender comment Ben ….was it ment to be funny? anyhow ten out of ten fella.
I think.. Ghostbusters was written like a serious film (of it’s time) with precise comedy elements that resulted in a film that was light-hearted overall. This trailer makes the latest film feel like the inverse; a comedy of our time (..of the Scary Movie ilk, so not a good thing) that will be sprinkled with few serious moments.
Bleh.
I got the exact same feeling. Ghostbusters was a film with genuine humour while this feels like it’s been written around the jokes. And I can get on board with changing the gender of the cast but not the specific cast they’ve chosen. Melissa Mccarthy has been painful in everything I’ve seen her in.
I agree totally with you…but I will give it try.
That’s what I was thinking too.
The classic worked *because* it was both a fun ‘fantasy’ movie in a modern setting.
The humour was both a bonus and pretty decent.
This thing ?
Definitely reminded me more of stuff in the likes of Scary movie.
Heck, I wonder if they were originally planning this as one of those parody movies as the humour is as cheap.
I dunno what t make of it………..
Comments on You tube are pretty unhappy. As many people dislike the trailer as like it and the trailer was only published today! Looks like it’s flopped already. Maybe they shouldn’t have released a trailer? Lulled a few more unsuspecting people into the theater and got their money before they realised what they were watching?
Well, there is always the chance that the movie is like some sorts of cheese…smells like puke mixed with terpentine but tastes like an angels kiss. That said it’s a bad sign that even the trailer is bad since it’s supposed to have little teasing bits of the best parts of the movie.
Looks great to me, perfect for switching off to on a Friday night and it can’t be any worse than Ghostbusters II….
MEH.
Yeah…no thank you, though I’d like to stress this indeed has something to do with the gender of the leads.
I doubt it will be as good as the original but then again the original seen now is not as good as I remember it. I think this has potential and I applaud them for going with women for the leads. I don’t know if I’ll go to the theaters for this but I will watch it at some point.
I don’t like it
All girls get suited and booted, everyone’s ready, they glance over at McCarthy, she’s stuck with her zipper.
Enter montage of all the girls aiding McCarthy for 20 minutes to get her into the suit, everyone’s ready now, they pick up the backpacks and begin to walk…
McCarthy stands behind, “I have to pee”.
Guaranteed scene.
Looks like they’ve taken all the good bits from the first film and fucked it right up.
Is this an outright reboot or is it a story about a new generation of ghost busters?
Based on beginning of trailer it’s new team if that text is believing.
It is a reboot and has nothing to do with the old movies.
The old guys wil make cameo appearances but not as Ghostbusters.
So the beginning is indeed a little bit misleading.
To me, going off the trailer if feels like they are trying too hard. The comedy of the original was in the characters interaction as much as the script and was carried brilliantly by the cast.
It does seem overly serious plus there seems to be way too much CGI used.
Unlike so many others I want to see finished movie before I judge it. Who knows, maybe it turns out to be rather good. I find it funny how so many were judging this movie when it was announced just because it has all female team. People always make deal about gender to one direction or other when it should not matter. and this comes from some one who grew up watching original Ghostbusters and playing with Ghostbusters toys.
Maybe some are judging it on gender, but many had valid criticisms. Ive seen a fair amount of people online responding to any criticism/apprehension/dislike by stating its due to them being women, and I find this to be rather unfair. I didnt think the mivie needed a sequel/remake and honestly found the intial announcements of ‘theyre ghostbusters… but female’ to be a bit gimmicky. Watching the trailer there werentreally any jokes about gender, so im hoping the fact theyre female is of little relevence. However the trailer was pretty dire, with broad humour I fidn unapealing, so I maintain my… Read more »
Ghostbusters worked the first time, after that I’m not so sure. This reboot (I generally dislike reboots) doesn’t have me going wow!
Well…
That was… Bad…
The “jokes” (and I use the term very loosely) weren’t funny, the cast seemed to completely lack the synergy of the original cast, the acting was subpar, and the effects looked terrible.
Did we really need a reboot of that particular franchise?
looks ok,ish.
AND THATS why I’m trying to avoid watching spoilers, it ruined it for me now i really dont want to wach that movie, especially that mcarthy? plays in it, Ididnt liked any of her movies, jokes on level nurcery kids.
This movie already has angry misogynists up in arms over the ‘desecration’ of the Ghostbusters franchise (that has apparently suddenly become a sacred tract rendered in celluloid rather than an amusing but otherwise not very notable pair of comedy action movies – who knew?) by the addition, one assumes, of girl-cooties. If the movie punctures the pomposity of such sexist nitwits, I would be all for it. Unfortunately, this trailer doesn’t exactly bode well for the movie’s quality as a film. It doesn’t strike me as being very funny, but that is a minor issue compared to the racial stereotyping… Read more »
I just thought the guy wanted to make Bridesmaids 2 and was told to make GHostbusters, so he turned Ghostbusters into Bridesmaids.
I never saw this as a social thing, but just that the only thing the Director can make is Bridesmaids.
Oh no no no no no……
Just…
No…
Love the Trailer… can´t wait for the Movie. A lot of fun, great special effects, good actors… I couldn´t understand the complains about that. ^^
Looked promising. Until the cast is shown and McCarthy opens her mouth. Dont understand why people think she is funny. Being loud isn’t funny
I grew up watching Ghostbusters. It was the first video my parents bought me and watched it several times a day when I was young I loved it. My son loves Ghostbusterrs too.
This however is not Ghostbusters. The comedy style is completely wrong, cast feels wrong an all female cast is fine if like any gender you get the right person for the role.
Sigourney said in an interview once she’d love to see a ghostbuster film where Dana’s Oscar would become a ghostbuster. That I feel would have been perfect. Having the old crew train him and others.
Not……THIS!!!!!!
