Ghostbusters 2016 Movie Trailer Spews Ectoplasm Everywhere

We've all just watched the trailer for the Ghostbusters 2016 remake and there's one thing we can now agree on completely...if you didn't like the comedy in Bridesmaids, you are probably going to find little to like here. The trailer includes familiar gags like the gross out moment that goes on for way too long, wacky slapstick action scenes and "this is so going in the trailer" moments we'll probably be sick of by the time they pop up on screen. Yes, I love the original movie to the point where I can repeat most lines as they happen. Yes, I have no love for the Bridesmaids movies. I guess I was holding out hope that something in this movie would win me over...and i'm still waiting...and willing to watch it...and probably give myself a headache trying to like it like I did with Deadpool. Let's give this another shot and see what we see, shall we?




Okeee so we have the firehouse...


and it exists in the same place, if you wanted to check...


Ecto 1 is still a hearse. Slimer is still...well...slimer...



They go to a place with a lot of books to check out a ghost sighting (her name is Gertrude Eldridge)...


Wackiness ensues...


"Someone is creating a device that amplifies paranormal activity"...yep..looks amplified. Times Square seems to get reverted back to 1976 (release year of Taxi Driver)...or 71' (release year of Isle of the Snake People)...but it's probably a mish mosh where time and space just get's all mucked up. (and a Twinkie nod!)



That may have started here...or ends here...as portals do...


And then the ladies kick ass.






POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD
..so..u know..hang onto your butts.



What we haven't seen yet is this guy...


Who you'll note looks a bit like the NoGhosts Logo. Hell, Mattel has gone to great pains to make him able to pose in the same general way. His name is Rowan (played by Neil Casey). Pieced together from Toy Fair news, we figure he starts out looking like this...






Then this happens...




Which could perhaps be the funniest scene in the movie if we assume the GB's are forced to bust an adorable ghost against their better judgement. HE'S SO CUTE!! DON'T STUFF HIM IN THE TRAP!!!

We originally thought this demony guy called Mayhem was the lead baddie, as he was shown at both LEGO and Mattel...and at LEGO, he was the only bad guy shown...and at Mattel, on the back of his package, they pair him with the mini figures so you could..maybe..I dunno..reenact a scene where he is all massive and the Ghostbusters look tiny...





But licensees tell us Rowan is the real danger in this film, which makes sense that Mattel would make two figures of him (even though the first with the open hands is a build-a-figure that comes in pieces with each of the 4 Ghostbusters)...and one would have fists made for smashing...perhaps at a large size...


So Maybe Rowan gets pissed off, feeds off the energy of the containment grid and/or other ghosts...maybe get's bigger...and angrier...

Mattel also made this guy...


But seriously, do we need a reason for anyone to make Stay Puft Marshmallow Man toys? Nope. No sir, we do not. Gimme. At a recent screening of this trailer for fans, film makers stated that all the major set pieces of the original film are in there somewhere, so there has to be a nod to Stay Puft at some point.

Bits of info around the internet suggest gangster ghosts, prostitute ghosts, showgirl ghosts, a heavy metal concert, and the national guard (naturally). So yea...we've got a trailer and the rest of the finer details (for now) are just speculation...but that's the fun part!


Ghostbusters is in theaters July 15, 2016!
