Yep, expecting a similar scene for the new one. It's cheap for a functional emergency vehicle, not a normal car.
I remembered that someone posted the lookalike basis of the new jumpsuits/coverall/whateveryoucallit

Looking good so far, I just hope they nail the script.
Also, I really hope we are not seeing Gozer again, give us something fresh. My problem with reboots/remakes is seeing the same scenes done over again, and usually not as good as in the original. I need a new villain and new ghost, I have no desire to see demon dogs, marshmellow men, or scary librarians again. The exception to this rule is slimer of course.

I really, really hope it's gonna be good.
And all of you guys throwing a fit because the ghostbusters are women should be ashamed.

Kristen Wiig looks like Sandra Bullock in that shot.

This one I love. Also it reminds me of how much I loved the old school ghost traps, I hope they're back and looking similar to the old ones.The fan art is already rolling in...

I hope it turns out to be a fun film, but I don't understand why it exists.
You may be right, but making a movie with the same name will undoubtedly draw comparisons. Reboots *should* mean improvement, and my opinion is that this is no improvement.
To each their own!

I admit it was a stupid thing to say. I was celebrating my old age (birthday) and getting grumpy about "the good ol days." I will go see the movie in a theater and pay for at least two others in line to atone.
I am still bothered by the idea of this, but what the fuck do I have to complain about? Its a new Ghostbusters movie!

What idea? That it is a remake? Or that it is an all-female cast?
Lawls I know. My opinion, formed solely from two hype images and my ability to compare and extrapolate against the existing films and the actors that helped to make them, is that it will suck.
I will gladly shift my opinion as more details emerge.
I fell victim to alcohol, old age, and the blunders of posting stupid and ill-timed rants on message boards. For this I truly apologize.
Nearly PMed you cause I feel like I am spamming this topic, but here it is:
The idea of a reboot of a super well-established set of films from a time period that is rarely done justice in film making is what bothers me. I have no issue with the fact that it is an all female cast. This is potentially the best thing about this reboot.
Henceforth, I am willing to give it a fair shake. Thank you NeoGAF for straightening me out.

Imagine if this was a reboot with Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Thomas Middleditch and Louis CK.
Would people have been more or less pissed?

Still pissed off Jonah Hill is not funny, Channing Tatum is overrated. Louis CK is a god though!

This movie could be a box office success, or it could just be a major flop.
All that's left is to reboot the Back to the Future franchise.

Wow, that sounds way better for some reason.

I always thought they could've gone with the whole Ghostbusters franchise route instead of an outright reboot. Kinda seems like a missed opportunity.

I think it's cleaner to break off entirety
Breaking off entirely would've been making a film that wasn't Ghostbusters then.
Setting it in the universe would not have drawn anywhere near the hate this is getting because as a reboot, it seems like more of a direct "attack" on the original to some.

The Real Ghostbusters was a pretty good kids cartoon.
I think the main thing bogging it down for me is the current shit state of SNL, and the lack od confidence that instills alone.
Agreed, it feels like making it an all female cast is them telling us that "Ghostbuster 1, Peace Sign, and Real was an attack on feminism".
Did people feel the same way when they made The Honeymooners black?
This is fucking absurd.
Was the all black remake of Wizard of Oz the Wiz made because the original was racist?
Was Marvel making Spider-Man black in the ultimate marvel universe because the original was racist?
Changing sex/race is a way to get a different spin on things with a different perspective.
It isn't an attack on men of any kind of feminist stance. I feel bad for you that you actual would believe this.
Exactly. The female cats isn't the problem, it's the reboot. Make Kristin Wiigs character Dan Akroyds niece or whatever, and ghosts start returning after 30 years of being gone. Boom. Instantly this movie is more likeable.
Fuck reboots. Jurassic World did it right.

Yep, or go with a franchise idea, set in a different city or something. It didn't need to be a reboot at all. I love the ghostbusters concept and don't give a shit if it's 4 guys, 4 girls, or any combination of those, but hollywood really needs to quit with the frivolous rebooting.

Another soulless remake/reboot with added gimmick casting. Whats not to like?
excelsiorlef
Member
Feig is many things but souless ain't one of em.
He clearly cares about what he is doing and GB fans. I mean he did give Cosplayers complete schematics of the prtin pack and its measurements

Ridiculous statement.
It's a different take and nothing more.
An all female cast would've likely gotten the same vitriol only some wouldn't have been able to hide behind the reboot as an excuse.
Dude, congrats! Guess this means you better stop with the pics and videos
Let us know your impressions though - if you don't fall under an NDA that is!

What's the gimmick? And this is anything but soulless. There's tremendous affection and care for the original here.

Ot. I Hope its good. It certainly looks like Ghostbusters. I like that they all look pretty silly
Man you're projecting so hard you're about to go astral and be caught by these ladies in their movie.
Why does it have to be all one race/sex, though? It's gimmicky to make it all one race/sex. See this is why The Karate Kid remake is the only one that got it right.
