A month after it was officially teased by Sony, the trailer for Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters has now finally been released to the public.
After being kicked out of college due to her past catching up with her, Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) joins forces with former friend and paranormal investigator Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy), along with nuclear engineer Jillian Holtzman (Kate McKinnon) and former transit worker Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones) to take on the growing paranormal threat to New York City. They’re not anybody’s first choice, they’re not professionals, they’re not licenced… they’re the Ghostbusters.
Jesus Christ, that makes “Pixels” look like a masterpiece!!! On the plus side, I’m guessing it will be forgotten just as quick!! Congratulations Sony, it’s exactly what I was dreading
I was skeptical going in, as I have been so far about everything. Didn’t really appreciate the use of the original firehouse and talking about the past (“30 years ago…”) because it made me think there’d be a connection to the originals, but there isn’t, right? A little confusing.
That being said, I laughed. A lot. There’s a lot of decent humor in this trailer. And I think they’re getting the feel of Ghostbusters right. It kind of feels like RGB to me, in a way. Overall, I’m still cautiously optimistic. I hope that I love it.
Interesting. The intro makes me wonder if it is connected to the originals or not. Had I not seen all the leaks and other information we’ve been privy to on this site - I would probably assume it was connected based the trailer.
So with Kate and the wig - did anyone else think of the scene from Flip Side where Peter and Egon are hiding in the head salon?
I literally laughed out loud at McKinnon in the wig haha. I’m excited, hit enough nostalgia with elements of the movies, RGB and even the modern EGB vibe. It seems like there was so much source material to take inspiration from in the GB universe that it can create something new and familiar but explore all the different vibes that each version of GB had (movies, cartoons, comics, etc). Can’t wait for July.
Wel… LOVED IT. Laughed out loud many times. All the actresses made me laugh. In fact I can’t remember another trailer that ever made me laugh this hard ("THE POWER OF PAIN COMPELLS YOU!!!). And I can’t wait to see it in the theatre.
Oh and Kate Mckinnon laughing at the Hearse looked like a nice nod to all the haters of the new Ecto
For those who are comparing a trailer to the 1984 movie I’d like to say - expectations are the greatest love killer, and times have changed, so has humour. If I’m not mistaken, these ladies come from the same comedy environment the original cast did - SNL. Perhaps this will never have the same mistique for many of us because… WE’re not the same anymore. But I am now sure I am going to LAUGH and have a great time watching this.
