Everyone who knows me know that I love Ghostbusters, I mean what’s not to love? Comedy genuis coupled with supernatural elements, that’s two of my favourite things in life. Sadly if you’re a long term reader on the site, you’ll also know my thoughts on the latest Ghostbusters film and if you don’t you can read it here .
Now don’t get me wrong it’s not because they are female, it’s more the team behind the scenes. I’m sorry but Paul Feig is not the right man, to reboot this franchise, they should have stuck with Ivan Reitman. A film this iconic needed ties to the past, to make sure it would be a success, you can’t reboot a franchise without any original ties. That’s like remaking Indiana Jones without Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg/George Lucas but hey I digress.
I have to hand it to the marketing team behing Ghostbusters 3, they are really trying to win us over. The marketing team in Japan have well and truly nailed it. First it was the Ghostbusters themed menu at J.S. Burgers Cafe that you can read about in my previous article here. Now Japanese 4 comedians (Tomochika, Oniyakko Tsubaki, Naomi Watanabe and Shizuyo Yamasaki) have released thier own version of the song paying homeage to the past.
Sadly the marleting tema for the rest of the world did not follow suit. Sorry Fall Out Boy although you are one of my favourite bands of all time, your song sucked, yes it sucked! Just to be fair I’ll include thier video below, so if you haven’t heard it you can check it out.
Now I don’t blame you, I mean you’ve sampled ‘The Munsters’ in your songs before so I know if you would have been allowed you would have given us the song we deserve. Sadly you couldnt, and luckily for us someone stepped up to the plate. The song even has me a little bit excited about the film, now why couldn’t we have been treated to a Japanese reboot? I know they would have got it right! It’s not only me it seems the rest of the internet agrees as well.
Still don’t believe? Still anti-Ghostbusters 3? Well still am I but you gotta admit this song is pretty damn awesome!!
“marleting tema”?
