Ghostbusters Trailer Thoughts



I got around to watching the brand new Ghostbusters (2016) trailer and I can honestly say I am surprised by the feedback. If you look under the Sony Youtube page, they're twice the amount of dislikes as there are likes.


I find the negative feedback surprising. Did any of those people watch this trailer? Don't they understand the potential here? Hollywood can remake everything and anything! 

I always watched the original Ghostbusters and thought; "if only Hollywood would remake this movie to be bigger and better then ever." The original's special effects just don't hold up anymore, and the humour is way too intelligently written. Clearly it needs a remake for the fans who desperately want to see it.

Now to think of it, Back to the Future seems a little dated. Am I really to believe that a teenager would ever wear an outfit like that to school? Might as well do the fans a favour and cast Dave Franco to play the new Marty McFly.



To continue this thought, Citizen Kane seems very dated. Really? Black and white? This is ridiculous. How are modern audiences supposed to get behind that character? I really think they should consider Jai Courtney to play the young Charles Foster Kane. He clearly can play a beloved character like Kyle Reese to perfection.

Michael Biehn is no match!

I'm surprised that after the amazing praise the Psycho remake received, old Hollywood classics aren't being remade more. Isn't the world ready for a new Raging Bull or Apocalypse Now? Didn't the fans appreciate the remakes of Carrie, Point Break and Poltergeist? Isn't it time the Princess Bride and The Breakfast Club get their stories told again?

This is getting a little ridiculous. It is time that movie fans get together and demand Hollywood to redo, remake and reimagine our favourite films again. The Godfather is SOOOOO boring and definitely needs a CGI action set piece in the middle somewhere. Does anyone understand the ending to 2001: A Space Odyssey? I think it should be remade into a trilogy of movies...wait...no...split the last chapter in two films - or even a trilogy on its own; making a five part movie event for the decade.

Let's get our voices heard people. Maybe if we're loud enough, we will get that Memento remake we've all been asking for.
