Here's what I stripped out of it...

Trailer drops Monday!!

Carrie Coon = Callie
Mckenna Grace = Phoebe (science obsessed)
Finn Wolfhard = Trevor (gearhead)
Paul Rudd = Mr. Grooberson (summer school teacher who remembers GB1 from when he was a kid)


They (the family) have left everything they know and moved to a small town in Oklahoma after inheriting property from the father she didn’t know.
(Wink, wink, *cough* Egon! *cough*)

Afterlife “is a new adventure that connects back to the Manhattan Crossrip of 1984”.
(The events of GB1)

“As the family arrives at an old farm, they begin to discover their connection to the original Ghostbusters,” Reitman said. “Trevor and Phoebe are about to find out who their grandfather was and whether they’re ready to pick up the proton pack themselves.”

In the collapsing barn of their farmhouse, they find an old car, bloomed with rust, hidden beneath a tarp—the retro-ambulance turned ghost-hunting mobile. In this shot (see pics below), Trevor lays eyes on his new ride for the first time, originally hinted at a year ago in the movie’s teaser.

Elsewhere in the house, which is packed with a mountain of books and lots of bizarre technology, Phoebe will find a device that reads psychokinetic energy. Ghostbusters fans will recognize that immediately as a tool of the trade from the original movies.

While her brother tinkers with the car, Phoebe finds herself transfixed by the mystery of their new town—not just by the peculiar subjects in their dilapidated home, but strange rumblings from a nearby mine. In this shot (again, below), she and her schoolmate (played by Logan Kim) ignore warning signs to venture closer to the abandoned and dangerous place.

Pics.

Trevor finds Ecto.

Trevor takes Ecto on a joyride.

Phoebe explores the haunted mine.

Mr. Grooberson admires a trap.

That's all the good bits, I sifted out the shit explaining what Ghostbusters even is to 12 year olds, or the article writer taking a mild swipe at GB:ATC.

Edit- The Collider version of the article defended GB:ATC, and called its haters man-babies.
That's more like it. ;)
