Probably just a reference to the original movie itself.

The effects looked neat, though I see zero believable friendship/comradery/chemistry between the leads. The trailer is chock full of exposition via character dialogue that is spoken in a deadpan, disconnected way that makes me feel like the actor's don't know each other whatsoever.  They all seem to be simply reciting from rote like it was an English Lit test they crammed for. I don't believe that the characters themselves believe what they are saying, let alone that they are friends in any capacity in real life OR this movie.

I hope I'm wrong.

I wasn't expecting it to look like a shot for shot remake of the original. Which is how the first half of the trailer sort of lays it out.

I'm more excited than I expected to be. I think I'll enjoy this.

The Lurker

Granted Paul Feig movies seem to have bad luck with trailers.

I did not like it at all.  There was nothing that made even chuckle a little bit.  Just doesn't look funny at all.

The gadgets and ghost designs look neat.

I'm still iffy on the ghosts, but I agree the gadgets look cool in this.

I'm kinda glad they didn't mess too much with Slimer.

I'm actually surprised they showed Slimer in the trailer. It was only just recently it was revealed in an interview that he's in this at all, which was denied for a long time. And the plot description makes it seem like most of the ghosts are of human villains (pirates, gangsters, etc). I wonder how the more non-human looking ghosts fit into that.

Someone's gotta hock that Ecto-Cooler. :^)

The trailer was by-the-numbers and terrible, but I think there may be a decent movie underneath.
