Alright! Things are looking up.. maybe... let's be optimistic about this whole thing.
Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters is finally revealed to be titled Ghostbusters: Afterlife! And this new trailer does a 180 on the 2016 Answer the Call Ghostbusters reboot/remake... it presents itself as a distant standalone new idea with very little retreating the past/nostalgia, and the tone shows very little to no comedy.
I personally half-enjoyed Answer the Call. I loved the cast, but felt the direction a bit poor and didn't enjoy parts of the plot. And that film first showed itself in a nostalgia-filled first trailer even presenting itself as a direct continuation of the original ("30 years ago..").
Now we have this stranger soft-reboot thing...!
I like the visuals. And Jason Reitman's a talented director. Plus they got me at Paul Rudd, let's be honest. Not sure I dig the kid film approach, way too much Stranger Things vibe.
I guess the next trailer will actually rely more on nostalgia and show the entire returning original cast...
But color me optimistic about this whole thing so far.
