Someone identified the middle thumbnail as this picture right after the trailer dropped. Not the commercial, but similar location.

That's what she said.

We only see a brief clip in the trailer, but from what little we have seen, I think works really well.I also just had a thought that maybe Grooberson has one of the magazines from the first movie's montage. That would also be cool.
I really like the idea of having these new young characters watch the original team in the streets via a YouTube video showing old News footage from the time, to get an idea of who these guys were and what all this old tech laying around was for. It's subtle but seems to work so well.
It also got me wondering if Afterlife will have any other scenes showing moments from the past in it. I get the feeling there won't be many, but I wonder if they'll do any kind of recreated footage using CGI or something.
For example, I have a feeling Paul Rudds character, Mr Gooberson, was in New York when Stay Puft was manifested and he was one of the many people to see him stomping down the street in person. I can imagine a scene showing a young kid Gooberson in the back of a typical New York taxi from the 80's, looking in horror and amazement at what he's seeing and us seeing a reflection of Stay Puft in the his window. Just a random thought I had.

It’s a publicity shot of Bill and Dan outside the firehouse.Michael Scott wrote: ↑January 22nd, 2020, 6:42 pm I still say that’s the Ray Parker Jr music video thumbnail in the bottom right corner when Grooberson shows them the old footage. If so, I’d say it was pretty popular in universe at least for a time.Cute easter egg, the commercial from the first movie is the thumb nail above above the music video.

Just a random thought I had.The Entertainment Weekly article that came out when the first trailer screenshots did explicitly says Paul Rudd's character was a kid in New York in '84. How official that is, I don't know, but it's definitely in the air!

Cut to a shot of the Ghostbusters using doubles in jumpsuits shot from 5-year old height looking up without seeing the faces of actors. Use some audio pulled from old dailies to suggest it's the original crew. Cut to a scene of Ecto-1 driving away from the call.Grooberson is such an interesting wildcard for this movie. As opposed to the kids meeting Ray directly (something like The Force Awakens), we get someone who was a periphery witness during the 80s. That is so unbelievably cool, and a perspective we haven't seen yet. To me Ghostbusters is such a wide palette that I hope Junior (or Juno) Reitman uses accordingly from Ghostbusters II. The grabber ghost is supposedly based on the Kenner toy that came with the Venkman figure, so it seems like they've done a ton of research for this one.
Voila. Flashback scene without having to digitally de-age anyone and suggests a deep connection for the character.

Hearing that they were only filming on set off and on for a week unfortunately makes it sound like they won't have a ton of screen time, but it's possible that their presence will be spread throughout a number of different scenes. That could certainly help make it feel like they are in more of the film. After all, Anthony Hopkins only had about 14 minutes of screen time in Silence of the Lambs but the character is definitely felt throughout the film.Hit the nail on the head with the Silence of the Lambs with Hannibal comparison. So many people think he gets more screen time than he actually does. It's amazing.
It's also sure starting to sound like we won't be getting a surprise appearance from Rick Moranis unless they somehow have kept that a major secret. But I doubt he would be filming separately from the rest of the original cast.

The pictures of Murray, Aykroyd, and Weaver at the restaurant together started popping up on or around September 14, possibly the same day the scene in the story is shot. Y’all may be right about them coming into the movie one at a time, which makes sense, but there’s plenty of evidence they were all on hand together at one time and could appear in the movie as such. Don’t forget the 35th anniversary screening intro had all 3 guys together in the cave.Sure. I feel pretty confident that the movie would not deprive us of at least one reunion scene between the three living Ghostbusters, I'm just saying I think this is not going to be compartmentalized.
I’m not proclaiming a back in the saddle finale, but dots can be connected to put them in town for shooting together.

It looks like the handle where the hose connects is extended further out than what is on the original packs. I wonder if that has a functional purpose in this film? There is also the neon yellow cable that runs alongside the ribbon cable, which can be seen in the photo of McKenna Grace firing the pack in the Vanity Fair Article. I wonder what the purpose of this cable might be.

Maybe that's an optimistic take!
