I'm not convinced the kids are the grandkids of Egon, the time that has past is all off, Im sure they must be his kids.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife
- Thread starter Gerard
- Start date
That just wouldn't work. Egon if alive would be about 70 and the kids are 14-16 probably with their mother around 38-40.
So Egon would have to be the Grandfather. I mean it's possible that he already had a family but never spoke of them, or adopted a child a bit later in life.
What's putting you off it?
I just didn't dislike it or like it either, I'm also very skeptical as the last one was dreadful.

This will be a lot better than the 2016 effort I think 
This will be nothing like that disaster. For a start it's back to the original universe of the first two movies and is directed and written by the son of the original director.
It already looks so much better.

Makes sense i suppose the refurb of the original was rumoured to cost around $250k. I'm guessing the original will make an appearance at the end of the movie.
Suppose it was easier (and less costly) building that up than to make the refurb look old and battered.

So they rebuilt 1a as 1, rather than 'un-do' the restoration on 1 to make look her like a barnfind?
I'm more than cool with 1a finally getting some attention. It always saddened me how Sony left her to rot. But why not rebuild her as 1a? Especially since this film is supposed to follow GB2 in continuity.

1A always looked more than a bit over the top, not really sure what the reason is for going back to the original design. Probably to connect the movie more with the first movie which was more of a hit. Doesn't make a lot of sense in continuity terms that the car in the last movie has suddenly reverted to the 1984 version.
Never really liked the 1A version, just seemed like they went totally overboard with slapping as many lights on it as possible.

See, that's part of why I like 1a. Along with the wider wheels, the white letter tyres, the yellow-black stripes on the flanks...
Yeah, the matrix sign was a bit 'extra'. But I genuinely love the rest of it
Ironically, the car broke down just after this was filmed, the refurb messed with the red propello ray light and the front round blue lights, the propello ray ended up just being a static red light and the front and back round blue lights now are just static and don't pulse on and off.
Soldato
Yep. The smoke and backfiring weren't really done for effect, the car was genuinely that broken five years down the line! When she finally conked out on the Brooklyn Bridge the NYPD fined the film production company, as she was impeding traffic.

Well I watched the trailer and thought it looked brilliant. Made me want to know more. Not sure whether I like Ant Man in it but I thought it was good that none of the original cast appear in the trailer it would be better if this was a "reveal" in the actual movie it would give it much more impact as I heard there were a few of the original cast returning. It didnt look that way but I reckon Slimer might be on the good guys (kids) side this movie.
It's been confirmed most of the main cast are appearing including Sigourney Weaver. Rick Moranis is the only one there's a question mark about.
