are you saying GB2016 was profound and good??
GhostBusters 3 is Finally Being Made. (2020 Release)
- Thread starter Kane_Steel
- Start date
Many fan's didn't buy Janine & Louis together in the movie (nor did JMS or the other writers of the animated series), which is why she's in love with Egon ongoing, and why his love for her was the centerpiece of the climax of the animated series episode Janine, You've Changed (it's also mentioned in an issue of the NOW Comics adaptation of the animated series that she loves him still, and that Louis was just a temp fling.)
Most likely, the engine in the car is not a GMC one, but some other engine, perhaps one brought from a company (here in Canada, IIRC you can buy an engine from Canadian Tire.)
What gets me is why Reitman had to have Ecto-1 'just because'; these new Ghostbusters could get another 'older' vehicle (a vehicle from the 1980's or '90's that's now old) and use that as the new Ectomobile, as this article suggests.
There are still a lot of fans of the 2016 movie, including a lot of young girls, which implies that there's a fandom for it that may be bigger in the future. The jury will be out on this new movie and the young people in it, appealing as they are to anybody who's seen this trailer.

The Zuul baby would be born in what...85? 86? Dana goes to Spengler for help with this weird pregnancy (result of first film) because she’s scared, but termination is either not possible or against beliefs. Egon helps out, but can’t exactly put demon-dog possesion conceived baby in the state adoption system. So he adopts, and sends the child to live with his folks (who we see in the film at the end I think, around about the time he hugs Janine.) Who then grows up to be the husband/father of the kids in this film.
Supporting evidence (or more accurately, stuff you can hang this retcon on if it’s used in story) is that Dana knows precisely where to find Egon in GB2, and has a closer relationship with him than would otherwise be expected. Egon is literally conducting research with kids, and y’know, it’s not entirely impossible that the kid could be Oscar (weird years long pregnancy cos of Zuul for instance.) himself. It’s...not beyond imagining, is what I am saying. It could even be part of what led to the initial Venkman break-up, and even the relatively frosty relationship between the team at the start of GB2. (Egon and Venkman remaining in touch with Ray, but not so much each other due to misunderstanding...they are like solo Beatles in that beginning.)
Throw in Janine as Egon partner in crime in this, and it could make for an interesting story, though one that is big enough it wouldn’t really play will as simple exposition in a film in a satisfying way.
No one is that crazy and allowed internet access surely.
We neutrinized it. We have the tools we have the talent
The movie seems to be going with the standard movie/TV trope that an automobile can just sit unattended in a barn for several years and still operate perfectly normally. Unless there's a montage of them fixing the car up and putting fresh gas in it, it looks like they find it in the barn, remove the tarp, and then just fire it up and start driving. Because that's how cars work in movies.
The article you linked to is from back when the movie was about to come out. I'd love to know if even 2% of the kids who were happy to meet a celebrity are (still?) specifically Ghostbusters fans. Not saying they should be, or can't be, or anything...just that I'm curious.
I bet Egon left them instructions. the idea that these are Egon's kids comes with some assumption that they are smart. This is a trailer.. not the movie.. it's edited for maximum effect. My guess is that the first time they start it it does not work.. they tune the vehicle throughout the film.. and the moment we see in the trailer is when they need it to actually work
Oh! This is the trailer and not the movie?! Oh, I'm so sorry. My mistake, I was obviously confused to how this whole "movie release" thing that's been happening my entire life works.
It's a good job, isn't it? Type something, will you? We're paying you for this stuff!
the world is so divided.. everyone here thinks I'm some kind of racist or sexist. I have hated the SW sequels. I hated GB 2016.
Yet this film has a female lead.. and .. not one single complaint from me.

"I also have a black friend".
Why you say that?
Oh?
Or maybe the dance scene?
Yes, Serveaux, Wiig and McKinnon are world class talents. Paul Feig, however...
The fuck you say?
To be fair, the Ecto is supposed to be *alive*. XD
On the last point he’s right. The RGB are real, the movies are the movie based on them...it’s literally in the first series xD
Yeah, it's actually quite common to put different engine makes into older cars. The alternative of course is to completely rebuild the original engine and fashion new parts as needed, as professional restorers tend to do, but that's likely even more costly than just buying whatever engine is available and working with it.
Wow. What a stand.
Here's the way the Ghostbusters Wiki lays out the canon.
The show did make some pretty significant changes from the movies, so I can see where it's easier to just push it off to it's own thing, than to run yourself in circles trying to make it all fit.
It’s still my headcanon that Slimer is their friend and hangs around the Firehouse with them. Which was confirmed by the second film, Slimer also seems to have a job as a bus driver.
