![]() ![]() The Ecto-1 has been spotted on set now: https://www.tmz.com/2019/08/05/ghost...ing-new-movie/ My concern is... why is this the Ecto-1 and not the Ecto-1A, from GB2? Was the car in GB2 literally supposed to be a whole new vehicle? I sure hope they're not ignoring GB2...

All things considered after 2016,I am not Going to crucify them for a tiny continuity error.

I wouldn't imagine so. It's not like GB2 is held in any disdain by fans.

This is very insulting to the ladies and fans of the 2016 movie. Very disappointing and backwards that they would do this.

Is it really "insulting" that they would actually do a straight-up sequel based on the original movie(s)? Something that they have, reportedly, been trying to get off the ground for years, since before the 2016 movie was even proposed? Certainly, that this movie is finally getting made now, after the 2016 film, DOES seem to argue that they don't have much confidence in the ability of the new cast to successfully carry the franchise forward. I assume that the performance of that film was disappointing to the studio, and this is their last-ditch attempt to see if they can still make money off the property by going back to its roots. But is that INSULTING? I imagine that, as disappointed as fans of the 2016 film might be by this development, the announcement of the 2016 film was a disappointment to those that wanted more of the Ghostbusters they had fond memories of, not a reboot with a new cast. Myself, I would be fine with them not making ANY new Ghostbusters films. I didn't see the 2016 film (reviews were not good enough to draw me in), and don't plan to see this one (unless reviews are particularly glowing). But I'm not someone with a real attachment to the franchise. I enjoyed the first movie quite a bit, but didn't feel like it needed any kind of sequel, and recall being disappointed in the sequel it did get (I think I've only watched it once).

Still don't see how making a movie they've reportedly been trying to make for ages, since long before the 2016 film, is "insulting" to anybody, though. (Unless it ends up sucking.)

I think a great wrong may be about to be righted. Nobody cares what fans of that movie think. Everybody in my household refused to see it.

GB16 wasn't terrible. Its only, albeit massive, massive problem was that 97% of the jokes fell flat. But the effects were breathtaking (actually breaking the letterbox format with the ghost and proton pack effects, but only with those, was genius) and the action, especially the one big set piece at the end was immensely entertaining. And the cast they assembled is usually a lot funnier. McCarthy as Sean Spicer was hilarious. McKinnon kills it on SNL. Hemsworth has great comedic chops. Letting these people adlib all of the dialog should have worked, and it blows my mind that they seemingly went with the worst takes in every single scene.
GB16 was not the Aykroyd/Murray Ghostbusters, and it was never trying to be. But as a live-action version of the Real Ghostbusters cartoon show (only with other characters), it was solid. With an additional draft by, say, Lord and Miller, or Jordan Peele, or any writer who nails funny banter, this would have gone through the roof, ladies or not. Grab the blu-ray out of the bargain bins. It's worth a dollar or two. |

Budget - $144 million Domestic - $128,350,574 International - $100,796,935 Worldwide - $229,147,509 ----- Box Office Ghostbusters grossed $128.3 million in North America and $100.8 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $229.1 million, with a net production budget of $144 million. Due to the large amount spent on marketing, the studio stated that the film would need to gross at least $300 million to break even. Before the release, director Paul Feig stated, "A movie like this has to at least get to like $500 million worldwide, and that’s probably low." /shrug :/ Quote:

Yup, very exciting. The kids and mom are definitely Egon's family. They inherited all of Egon's toys when he died.
Also, people remember the "Manhattan Crossrip of 1984" but not the "1989 Statue of Liberty Walk"? Between this and the Ecto-1 not being the Ecto-1A, it's not looking great for GB2.

"The 80s were like the Walking Dead," lol... Also, whoa... I just realized that mine has a sign that says "SHANDOR MINING COMPANY." As in... Ivo Shandor, the guy who freaking made the Cult of Gozer and built that building to bring in Gozer!

ya know.....that doesn't look bad at all; I cant wait to see the 2nd one in a few more months. and speaking honestly: if the 2016 film (w/ same cast) had been more like *this*, than a complete reboot, I think it prolly would've done better/ been more accepted. Tazer |

I think it's fantastic that fanboys ARE being rewarded. It's like the 2016 disaster never even happened. Let the falling of SJW tears begin!

It looks like they are leaning heavily into the Stranger Things influence, which is fine, looks fun. I loved GB2, I hope they acknowledge it.
