The trailer for Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters dropped earlier this morning and left us staring to the sky in awe of the electric light show put on display.
After some time to digest, we went through frame-by-frame to pull shots and reflect on what we’ve just seen.
One thing is for certain, it looks as if Feig’s Ghostbusters cherry picks moments to remake, from the Library Ghost to the introduction of Slimer, and even the way the new Ghostbusters are formed.
And yet, Feig manages to keep all that is holy in place by refusing to change the look of the Proton Stream and sound design.
With that said, he does bring his own flair to the look of the film by upgrading the Proton Packs and even introducing Proton Guns and Proton Knuckles (for real).
As I mentioned in the initial piece, the CGI is marginally worrisome, even though the trailer does look pretty damn cool.
Looking through these grabs, you can tell that 3-D was always on Feig’s mind, although it’s unclear if the film was actually shot in 3-D. Whatever the case, there’s enough CG action in this footage to prove that seeing it in 3-D could be an enhancement on the experience.
I guess we’ll find out come July 15th when Sony lets the spooks out all across New York.
