After much speculation, concern, and a couple of updates from Paul Feig via his twitter, we now have a release date for the first full trailer for the reboot: Thursday March 3rd.

Please stay tuned for further updates in this topic, and for full discussion and dissection of the trailer when it finally goes live. :)

Now now, Feig's exact words from his more recent post about the trailer were as follows:
Pau Feig wrote:First full trailer coming around the end of this month
Note he said "around", rather than "on" or "before", so the 3rd of March is within tolerance of the end of the month.

I can understand your frustration at it only being a teaser for the trailer, sadly this is part of the way Hollywood works these days, as they're designed to drive hype. Ghostbusters isn't the first to use it, and won't be the last.

At least we've got a definite date to work with now. :)

The biggest problem we have with the Fandom right now (well, other than Cassidy) is that the fans have set their expectations WAAAAAAYYY too high... it's a modern day movie, it shouldn't surprise anybody that we get a trailer to a trailer, that it looks a lot like a Michael Bay movie, and they play that foghorn noise with each sweeping scene change...

Yep, I would agree with that...

Also, if it wasn't a reboot and it starred the original cast, we would still probably be getting the same teaser...

And it would have been much more welcome.

I'm assuming this teaser will be the first 20 seconds of the trailer.
Seems like the typical trope of pointing you in a wrong direction, only to smash cut to the logo.

Footage looks good though. Robert Yeoman, the cinematographer, has shot some beautiful films.

And that would be a nice bookend to this film and the 1984 original, if it makes good use of the New York* skyline and architecture, featuring some of the classical buildings present in the city.

*the bits filmed in New York, anyway. :P

As I go about my day, I can't help but notice... the 5 note reference to the original song at the end is just like the teaser to Jurassic World and it's iconic score.

All trailers really are the same.

The only reason Sony released a teaser today is because of all the recent talk by the fans about the Valentines reference in GBII, otherwise we'd still be waiting. It shows nothing & could have been released months ago.

I keep all discussion of this "project" away from these boards since I am not a supporter but all I gotta say is you guys are the most optimistic group of folks I've ever seen.

Woohoo, totally called Valentines Day as the day we would be either teased or see a trailer.

BTW, someone from another forum mentioned the piano tune reminded him of the real ghostbusters, where they use piano in the quieter scenes. Can anyone relate?

Really?

The transformer board I'm on is WAY more optimistic than this place.

Never been there so I wouldn't know. It would be nice if as long as we remain courteous, respectful and intelligent we could freely express our opinions on this project even though we don't support it, though I realize that becomes difficult as passions run hot. It just bugs me how they're jamming it down our throats and some like it.

My issue with this teaser for the teaser is that nothing in it really says "Ghostbusters" except for the logo and for the dramatic piano gb theme tune at the end. Watching the military and police line up...they could have at least had a ghost growl/laugh sound effect. That would have at least given us a "ohhh snap..." before the logo kicked in.

I dunno. Whatevs. The actual trailer will be interesting.

There shouldn't be any issues with people having different opinions anymore.

Once they booted Cassidy from here things calmed down.

I'm pumped for the flick... But I do feel a bit slighted. All this time and only 20ish secs. grumble.

What movie is Sony releasing that Friday?

I like it! The logo animation looks really good. The minimal piano notes to the Ray Parker Jr. melody--AWESOME!

I'm REALLY hoping the "whine" sound that starts around :09 is a pack starting up. You have to admit, it's reminiscent of the classic pack sound.

I keep seeing people talking about the heavy action movie tone. You can't deny it's in there, but I don't think it's at all representative of what the entire movie will be. Maybe in places, but this is definitely going to be a comedy. I'm guessing on the full trailer, they'll pull a switcharoo-- start off with familiar action movie trailer tropes, then hit hard with the comedic GB reveal.

A friendly reminder guys, please use the spoiler tags when posting pictures of the ghost figures from New York Toy Fair, some folks will prefer not to see them until they watch the movie.

I'm curious to know, as this is the second time lately I've seen pretty much that exact phrase. Why do you feel things are "being jammed down" your throat? A movie like this was always going to have a large degree of advertising and merchandising.

Wait, so people complain that there isn't a trailer, and then after a small tease video, now they're jamming it down our throats?!
