Do we know? Even if it’s fake techno babble I’m interested to see how thought out it is. Star Wars/Lucasfilm did that for the lightsaber, has Ghostbusters done that for the proton pack? We know the bottom part of it is a cyclotron, right?

Bob, there is a groundbreaking book that has just come out, let's see...

A good book indeed.

Begs the question, why hasn’t Ray taken anything?

Oh I think Egon’s Uniform is in the front and the other 3 belong to the others. The Trailer could have shown several uniforms, like the dark uniforms from GB2. The fact that they showed just the FOUR tan uniforms leads me to believe that those are not just Egon’s.

Aykroyd listed off a few Ecto-1 roof rack parts in the 2009 Bluray featurette "Ecto-1: Restoring the Classic Car" from around 11:17 to 11:40 so I'd imagine he has Proton Pack part names, too...

That man loves himself some muon scrubbers.

Totally, yeah. He even had an explanation for what the "belt gizmo" does. Someone asked him at Fan Fest and right away he told her it was a resistor designed to compensate for over-voltage and protect its user from electrical shocks.

I wouldn't put it past him.

So, why do people think something is coming tomorrow? I missed that meeting.

The message before the movie is rumored to have an Afterlife trailer/clip. No way to know until someone goes to a showing and confirms.

Well tomorrow was meant to see the release of Afterlife here. Sadly that wont come to pass, but my local cinema is playing the first film. Its the first time ever for this cinema as we're rural. So I'm kinda happy with the outcome.

Well we know recently Canada approved a new trailer so it's likely SOMETHING Afterlife related is coming soon.

I just have my doubts it's a new trailer attached to the screening. I feel if that was the case they'd advertise the hell out of it.

Good points. Perhaps it is that same recorded message with some of the original cast that we speculated is the Shandor mine set. Although, a lot of them were able to appear in the Reunited Apart Ghostbusters episode. Maybe it's a Zoom grid of the cast welcoming people to the screening. Hopefully they also acknowledge Dan Aykroyd's 68th birthday as well.

But surely enough time has passed for the marketing team to come up with a new timeline of advertising. At the latest I could see them choosing October 30 or 31 for a new trailer. I would be tickled if they chose September 1, because it was the day of the series premiere for Extreme Ghostbusters.

Even if it’s early I REALLY want a new trailer! It would be so fun to be surprised with it at my drive in on Thursday night!

I just watched a new 0:30 Candyman trailer, and while I would've agreed with you before then, now I'm thinking "just keep it all under wraps, it's much worse getting a taste and not knowing for sure when you're gonna get to have the rest."

Sony usually releases trailers at 9am EST. Let's see what happens in the next couple minutes....
*UPDATE* Nothing.

The upload day for the first trailer was Monday. Maybe whatever might be seen at the showings will be uploaded on the 6th.

I would expect if a trailer is going to be released it won't be until after the showing. why bother paying for a ticket when it's released before the event? I know I'd be pissed. Especially if I made the five and a half hour drive just to attend this event.

That's assuming IF we get a new trailer it'd be what's attached to those screenings. I REALLY wish the videos from last year were put on Youtube. (no not those shiatty bootlegs either)

How much of a role do you think the OGB’s will have in the new movie? Full role? Extended cameo? Show up at the end?

As much as I know this is intended as a ‘passing of the torch’ film, it’s the originals I’m most excited to see.

Ghost Corps said they'll be sharing posts all day...hopefully we get a grand finale of a 2nd trailer!!!

Since I'm in a different time zone, can someone say when it's officially Ghostbusters Day wherever GhostCorps is stationed?

I really wouldn't expect anything. Hopefully the film is still coming out in March. With the way the US's virus stats are still going up, it's not a sure bet.

Sony will probably silo a trailer until they're relatively sure the pandemic is ending.

It's now CONFIRMED the 9 minutes is Afterlife related. (Not necessarily a trailer in that 9 minutes but fingers crossed)

Now who's going to be the forum hero and record that intro for Youtube? Regrettably there are no screenings close to me in Ohio.

Edit: Definitely re-check the participating locations as the list has grown. Looks like I'll be able to see it in my city now.

Excellent. When you record it remember to do so at the highest quality setting you can.

Ohh ok. I thought that since you were looking at their feed, you might be going.

If anyone's recording at a drive in make sure to capture the audio.

I'm not sure if the movies audio will be heard outside of your vehicle. Different drive in's have different set up's but that's usually the case.

It's been almost ten years since I've been to a drive in so my advice may be behind the times.
