I'm not a fan of this one either.. hope to see something else but if this is the only art we get then I'll buy it for the film.. this artwork goes quite well with the original films that are due out soon/or just been released.. not sure when as I didn't order them.
Just had another look at the art and now know what's bothering me about it.. it looks like a steelbook for the old cartoon that used to be on in the 80' or 90's.. so it doesn't make me think of the film the steelbooks for at all.
Just what the doctor ordered and a most welcome surprise for the new film to have artwork that complements the originals released recently, is original and has nothing to do with the sub-standard official poster art
Now 3 to buy instead of 2 and the only question remaining is "When?" and not "If?"
The only decent original poster artwork for the latest film is this one from BLT COMMUNICATIONS of L.A and truth to tell I wasn't getting a front cover vibe for this one either:-
DAN MUMFORD artwork (?) like the other two :-
1)
2)
3)
- a talented artist probably most famous for his tattoo style images and some of his highly recognisable images have been used for a number of Blu-ray and steelbook covers:-

I do like the art flash, just not for the film. I remember coming home from school and putting the tv on to watch the cartoon, my favourite character was slimer.
I've not seen this film yet, but saw a trailer for it the last time I was at the cinema.. it was an awful trailer, they showed lots of laugh clips but I didn't think it was funny in the slightest.. I'm just gonna assume who ever put the trailer together had no idea what they were doing.. I still want to see the film and I really like melissa maccarthy (her films, or the comedy have been hit and miss for me though, so I'm expecting the same) I love the original films but when I see this new one I'm gonna watch it like it's the first one ever made so I can enjoy it for whatever it is.
I do hope you like it @chunk, it pays great respect to the originals, I loved the blend of old and new and these new characters stand alone and are fantastic, love that they had slimer still.
yet despite being a huge fan of all 4 ladies, she was my least fave...that's changed(she's easily on par with the rest, still only just bettered Wiig IMO) and will be pre-ordering this baby asap today
