Ghostbusters: Afterlife

Any blue haired lesbos in it?
Hopefully not.
That trailer for some reason is showing with a thumbnail of slimer from the 2016 trainwreck.
Must be why it bombed at the box office.
It bombed because it was a pile of crap helmed by a director that for some weird reason has the opinion that "men aren't funny". Just about every male character in the movie was either a dribbling moron or a total bellpiece.
Some of the cast of that POS were "outraged" that Sony weren't going to make a sequel and instead go with a newer iteration continuing the story of the first 2 movies. It would seem that the movie costing Sony around $70 million isn't something they have clued into yet.
Eh, I didn’t have any opinions on the men in the film. So what if they were dumb? It’s just a film - don’t view it as a catastrophic attempted assault on your male identity
It was just a film helmed by a director that has a weird little agenda going on when it comes to male actors. He might not have noticed he in fact is a male, though probably so deep in the closet his arse is hanging out in Narnia.
How is that homophobic exactly? He's married but comes off so camp he could well be gay.
The first trailer pretty much sunk the 2016 movie, badly edited and it referenced the first movie as if it was carrying on from those events. It's like whoever made the trailer didn't know what the movie was supposed to be, a continuation or a reboot. Then by the time the second trailer hit people had already made up their minds and the "anti female" rhetoric was blown out of all proportion with Sony selectively deleting comments on the trailer to try and skew what was going on.
Oh joy, another one of these
Another? 4 movies in 35 years is hardly pushing the boat out, 1 a failed reboot and this one continuing the story of the first 2. We've had 3 marvel movies this year alone ffs.
Be interesting to see what the storyline is for all the equipment and ecto 1 being stashed in an old farmhouse. Realistically it should be ecto 1 a as that's the last car to feature in the films, the real world reason as to why it's not is it's basically sitting rusting away with most of its parts missing on the Sony backlot.
Think 1a was a bit over the top anyway, they just seemed to glue a bunch of lights onto it for no real reason and it looked a bit too goofy.
This is the last known image of the car :
The original ecto 1 was restored a few years back but some things weren't done properly in regards to some of the lights.

Murray is purported to be a bit of a weirdo to say the least. When they were doing the voiceovers for the game in 2009 he had a clause that said he recorded by himself with no other cast members present, then he apparently buggered off one day and never returned despite his lines not being complete. That and contacting him is meant to be almost impossible as he only bothers to check a voicemail number every so often. There's a video on youtube talking about it and he comes off as pretty odd. The only reason he was involved with the 2016 movie was Sony were considering litigation against him for his half assed attitude and constant refusal to take anything to do with Ghostbusters.
Trailers playing it pretty close to the chest, for this one anyway, at 2:04 that looks like a Terror Dog from the original movie, the little you can see of it anyway.
And at 1:46 you have "Shandor mine", aka Ivo Shandor who was the leader of the Gozer worshippers and who made Dana's building in the original movie. Could be a return of Gozer, afterall Gozer was only pushed back through the gate at the end of the first movie, not destroyed.

The vibe of some sections of the trailer seems to be vaguely similar to gb2 in that nobody seems to know or dismisses the events of the previous 2 movies. Wonder if they'll go in depth on what happened to the containment unit etc. Maybe the ghosts just dried up and they went out of business, which would play into what happened in extreme ghostbusters as well. I hope they don't reveal too much in the trailers, one thing the original movie did was keep Stay Puft out of the trailers so when he showed up it was a huge surprise, that's lacking in trailers these days as they generally play out like an ABC of the events of the movie and nothing is kept as a surprise anymore.
What do you reckon was the owner of that huge paw at 2:05?
Already mentioned it was a terror dog more than likely.
Looks more like it's a combination of both, Paul Rudd obviously being involved and we've no way of knowing what way the old cast will be used or how much.
So did Sony, the movie was named "Ghostbusters" then when they seen it tanking they added "answer the call" to the title to differentiate it from the first movie.
Not all kids, Paul Rudd is involved as well as the original cast.
And why is everyone bringing up Stranger Things because of a single cast member? Was "IT" also a stranger things knock off?
