Trike | 11210 comments Once again with the beating of the dead horse, except this one looks like it’s actually going to avoid the errors of the last one with its confused “is it a reboot or continuation?” muddled marketing. This is clearly a continuation of the original.

Despite Paul Rudd’s presence, it doesn’t look funny, but it does seem to be coherent. I don’t know why this needs to exist, though.

Trike | 11210 comments Interesting that it’s directed by Jason Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, who directed the original.

John (Taloni) Taloni (johntaloni) | 5196 comments Um...so much nope. They're doing a serious take on a comedy movie? And I didn't see Murray or Ackroyd in the trailer although they are listed as cast.

When I first heard about this film I was mildly interested. The first one made me laugh and laugh. The second one, not so much but still worth seeing. This update seems just bizarre.

If this is a fakeout and the comedy will be in the next trailer, then they did a great job. Because I sure believe this film won't be funny. Well, not intentionally at least.

It's got the "Stranger Things" kid in it. It looks like they are going for a similar vibe to that.

Rick yeah this feels like $$. "Hey, 80s stuff is popular, esp that Stranger Things" kids get into spooky trouble stuff."

then again, I've never been a huge Ghostbusters fan.
