The original movies are getting pushed into obscurity and future generations wont even know they exist.

Making sequels rather than remakes would be better imo and at least show some creativity.

I think the new Ghostbusters film is a sequel though, rather than a remake?

I watched the original Ghostbusters trailer and it was on a similar par to the current one (worse actually in some ways. The new one is getting criticised for the racial stereotyping of the black character. In the original trailer, the black ghostbuster wasn't even credited!) But yeah I agree basically, it's impossible to tell from that trailer whether or not it will be good.
