Serious 'Ghostbusters: Afterlife' Trailer Divides Fans: 'I Thought Ghostbusters Was a Comedy'
new “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” trailer, if you ask many fans of the 80s comedy classic. Some are ripping the reboot’s relatively serious tone as “bizarre” while others are questioning why a film in which “that’s a big twinkie” is uttered is held in such high regard in the first place. “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” came back to haunt us Tuesday, dropping a new trailer featuring more insight into the movie’s plot, hints at some of its nostalgic cameos and an unexpectedly reverent attitude toward its silly, sarcastic source material.The film was directed by Jason Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, who directed the original 1984 flick starring Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis.
