They’re making a new Ghostbusters movie and it’s finally got
a trailer. I’ve been psyched for
this movie since they announced the basic plan for a female centric
Ghostbusters and then the casting breakdown gave me even more hope. I’m a massive Kristen Wiig fan and Kate
McKinnon has had “super star in the making” looming over her for far too
long. So, if you’re coming here
for some harsh angry put down of the very concept of women wielding proton
packs then sorry but you’ve visited the wrong shuffle.
What’s more, I’m not really one to regard the Ghostbusters
franchise with the kind of holy writ and reverence a lot of folks I know
do. As far as I’m concerned,
Ghostbusters is a fun movie and a great handful of shows and comics, not some
unassailable classic that should never be updated, reworked, or experimented
with. Maybe that’s just my
background being in comics where re-workings are more common but the way I see
it, if you aren’t taking the time to invent new ‘Busters and a new team why
bother doing Ghostbusters again?
Either way, let’s talk about the trailer.
