That's why I'm not sold on it. I'm interested and will reserve my final judgement until later, but from the only trailer we have to go by it feels to me like it lacks the fun of the originals.
I think it will be good just the right of dark and humor but nothing over the top.
Eh.. I think it'd be a long shot, but he's not retired. He's said he's just very selective about the roles he takes.
He still does some VO work.. He did a concert with Dave Thomas a few years back.
I don't think it'd be impossible, but I do think it'd be very unlikely. They'd really have to give him a part he couldn't refuse.. maybe something having him singing.
Yuck.
I'd rather have a million all-female reboots with the same cast of the 2016 GB (a film that I actually enjoyed. More people would have enjoyed it too if they had not decided that it sucked sight unseen simply because it was an all-female GB crew) than another Stranger Things-adjacent concoction. I hate Stranger Things and all its spiritual spin-offs, and this trailer looks like a dull, lifeless SG monstrosity. Also...where the **** is the comedy? All GB films so far have been comedic. This looks too serious...
Yuck.

I disliked it immensely, and it had nothing to do with the all-female cast. In my opinion, it just plain sucked.
I think this franchise petered out early. Was there really demand for a girl-centric reboot? And yes, as MarkuS said, it SUCKED.
I actually like Ghostbusters 2 a lot. The first is classic, but the second is one of those sequels that held up. Then again I think the later Police Academy films (4, 5 and 6) are as good as Police Academy (1) and Home Alone 2 is better than Home Alone. Could it be I watched those films as a kid and have the nostaglia blinders on like I do with Batman Forever, sure. The franchise stuck around until the late 1990's when a sequel cartoon series was done, Xtreme Ghostbusters or XGB and came back again in 2008 with the Ghostbuster video game which was a sequel of sorts to Ghostbusters 2 and used elements of the shelved Ghostbusters 3.
As I have gotten old, Ghostbusters the original is obviously better than Ghostbusters 2. That said, I'm not the typical person that will trash Ghostbusters 2. It was a good film though there was some cash-grab to it. Then again, what sequel isn't a cash-grab in someway?
I won't complain about teens in Ghostbusters: Afterlife for the reason XGB was the Ghostbusters restarted by an older Egon as a professor in some New York college teaching a ghost and paranormal course with three possibly teenage college students. It wasn't a great series but as someone who loved Ghostbusters as a kid, I enjoyed it and loved seeing Slimer back.
As for the trailer, loved it. I saw it on the big screen and it looks good. The best part of it is that we don't know it is a Ghostbuster movie until they show the ghost trap. It is a nice break from the "Oh this is _____" trailers we get for first trailers these days. I love how we didn't hear or see any of the old busters. I still think Venkmen said the quotes at the end of the trailer "Call it luck..." I seem to remember it being an old Venkmen quote in Ghostbusters.
