First slime-coated Ghostbusters trailer appears

The first trailer for the polarizing new Ghostbusters reboot has finally arrived, and it’s loaded for bear with ghosts, slime, and nods to the originals.

Okay, so as a fan of Ghostbusters in general, there’s really one thing that keeps bothering me about this reboot- and that’s that it’s a reboot. I don’t understand why there a need to start over and scrap the continuity of the original films, and it bugs me to no end that this isn’t just GBIII.

I don’t want to preach here though, as that’s something better saved for a review or an op-ed, so instead I’ll just leave you with the thought that this has a lot of the elements that went into the first movie. Although the story is all new, there’s clearly plenty of fingerprints from those 80s classics all over 2016’s Ghostbusters.

Will it be enough for longtime fans of the series? I don’t know, but we’ll find out when Ghostbusters hits the silver screen on July 15th.
