It's like Goonies meets the Ghostbusters.

Oh god... am I going insane, or are there... children in this movie? Why? I mean... why? Why would you do that? Why? I'm asking why?

...why?

Next one will be Ghostbusters in the Retirement Home. A few old men in their walkers and wheelchairs firing off the proton packs that end up tipping them over. The token old woman on the team, the only one that can walk does her little shuffle small step walk to throw the ghost trap that lands upside down.

In the end, it's all not real because it's drugs given to them by the orderlies. Or is it?

I don't know. That has some interesting subtext there. The elderly afraid of ghosts? They're really afraid of the next stage after old age- death. By destroying whatever is causing the ghosts, they're also destroying their own chances to live beyond death. What is it like to welcome the end? Can you accept death when knowing you can never truly die?

I really dislike horror and I'd watch the hell outta that.

So does anybody think they'll use CGI to give us a ghost version of Egon Spengler?

Better be a good one if they do.

Best line I've heard about this trailer.

"At one point a character says 'there hasn't been a ghost sighting in thirty years.' Yeah, especially not in 2016, huh? HA!"
