I don't think anyone else got it, but I got it.

Just spotted that this movie's budget is $154m.
That's...ambitious.
All the still shots in the world don't really change anything. I think Feig has nailed the aesthetic, I guess, but we all know that what's going to matter is the humour of the film, and we won't see that until the trailer comes out.

I'm getting The Real Ghostbusters vibes here, and I'm liking it.

Yep and if you think of a proton pack being like a fire hose (both shoot streams) the Firefighter and Ghost Buster comparison works.
Dig it all. Do you think that's still an Ambulance though? It looks like maybe a repurpised hearse which would be kinda poetic.
I love this shot. Looks fantastic
It's not an Ambulance, it is a hearse.
The original was a big-budget special effects movie. $154 million is just scaled up like most film production costs have over the last three decades.
Why don't they look like they are having fun?
I kinda like how they have a "i dont give a fuck" attitude.
Girls look just fine.
Yeah, $30 million in 1984 meant something back then.

I'm curious how "Feig" the humour will be
I loved Spy but it was very crass at times. I recall Ghostbusters being a bit warmer and more family friendly, I do hope they retain that more innocent approach. Basically I hope there isn't a bunch of dick jokes.

It's more that Feig's last film cost $65m (and I'm willing to bet a large portion of that went on salaries for the cast) and made just over $200m.
I just really don't want this movie to be a box office disappointment is all.

Kate McKinnon looks great, I'm pretty optimistic about this movie.
One of the big jokes in the movie was Ray getting his dick sucked by a female ghost. Family friendly, it was not.
The sequel was definitely more family friendly, but that's because Akroyd and Ramis were instructed to make the characters and the humor more resemble the cartoon series.
There is an entire scene in the original dedicated to Dan Akroyd getting his dick sucked by a ghost...
Edit: Beaten! But I will throw in the jokes about Walter Peck being dickless as well

With the packs, gloves and boots on the orange stripes don't look as off putting

I mean, they're the Ghostbusters. They're on the job.
It was never really all fun and games, even in the original movies. Those guys were doing "interesting" work but it was never glamorous or meant to look like a slammin' good time.
They're basically exterminators.

Awesome that's what I thought.
That's inspired. Love it. Carry their corpses and now helpung bus their spirits.

Not the original. Ton of crass humour. It was only when the cartoon was a huge success that it became more uber family friendly

Jesus. It's a still image. There is one exactly like it from GB 1.

As a Ghostbusters and SNL fan I hope this turns out to be good.

Family friendly? I'd suppose so, since I grew up with Ghostbusters and it became my favorite movie ever.
That said, my parents intentionally edited the old VHS tape to remove the "ghost sucking Ray Stantz's dick" scene. They were a bit overprotective.
But still, the movie wasn't always THAT innocent. The new one has to have some edge too.
Doubtful, I think the only acting related thing he has done since his wife passed and he retired from acting was the 24 year anniversary of Bob and Doug Mckenzie.

Is that Jeniffer Aniston?

I just love how unglamorous they look. It's refreshing and in tune with the job they're doing.
i would say it was also to avoid getting the newly established PG-13 rating as well.

No, that's Melissa McCarthy. She's quite a bit funnier than Aniston. You probably couldn't tell because of the glasses.

Oh wait, I am wrong. There were Cadillac ambulances in the early 80's:
It still would've looked way too clunky if they used the above car over the hearse they chose.
The original Ecto 1 was a multi purpose car that could be used as an ambulance or a hearse. As far as I know, it wasn't really one or the other. I could never figure out if it was suppose to be an ambulance or a hearse though in the movie, since it had a big red light like an ambulance, but was painted black like a hearse and had window drapes :
In the Real Ghostbusters cartoon, they often refereed to the car as a hearse.
Return of the Jedi had an estimated budget of about $35-40 million dollar budget, and that was released in 1983. Ghostbusters was classified as a big budget movie back then.

McKinnon is rocking this outfit. All of the heart eye emojis.
I remember a couple of years ago that he said he would have been up for a cameo back when Akroyd looked like he was going to get his third movie off the ground, but with that falling apart and Ramis' death, who knows. He's said that he doesn't miss acting much since he quit, and seems content with where he's at in life.
Girls look just fine.
Nah, they look fucking lame compared to the old guys.

They were never not going to look lame to you, I imagine.
All-female Ghostbusters was never going to be an easy sell for everyone.

They look great. This could be really good.
