You think we are going to see that kind of thing when the OGs suit up?
I know a few are still convinced that this won’t happen and for good reason, but IF it does wouldn’t it be serendipities?
They have to. Surely. Although whether they actually ‘suit up’ as opposed to strapped on the proton packs, I’m not sure. I’d do well to fit into a suit from 4 months ago let alone 30 years!
Well in a recent interview Ernie revealed that he does done a jump suit in this movie and I don't think it is for a flashback. So if that isn't suiting up I don't know what is. LOL!

There was an article written a few months ago where Bill Murray demands that the author wear the proton pack. That led some of us to believe that they will be donning the packs one last time.

Not necessarily, he may have enough of a passing knowledge of electronics (possibly in-part earned through his study of Seismology) to work out how to jury-rig a device... In the end, you don't need to know how the Ghostbusters' equipment works for you to be able to break it.

They likely built a duplicate exterior on the sound-stage containing the farmhouse interiors to create a greater illusion that the exterior and interior are physically attached, for the original film, Hook & Ladder 8 was fitted with false walls replicating the look of Firestation № 23's apparatus bay, and the exterior of Firestation № 23 was dressed up with a single-story replica facade of Hook & Ladder 8... And all of the TARDIS props featured in Doctor Who since 2005 have had a interior backdrop of the Console Room.
The blue screen on the farmhouse studio set is just to insert digital mattes of the farmland surrounding the house.
Then the Vanity Fair article in December gave the main details about him - summer school teacher Mr. Grooberson who was a kid when the Manhattan Crossrip occurred. Although later generations may think of it as a myth, or not think of it at all, he remembers it obsessively and is excited to pass on what he knows. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20 ... first-look

Oh yeah there have been plenty of hints that have had me 100% certain that we will see this happen. I have been anticipating this since teaser one. Yeah in that article I loved how Bill was showing the author how the switches work on the Wand. This definately lead me to believe that Bill had been playing with them on set recently. Unless the switches are the same configuration as the packs they used in the original movie and he just remembers how they work, which is quite possible.
I just have a big feeling that this is going to be a very great film and that it is going to be a wonderful companion to the other movies.

Reading this made me think of the epic music from II when they approach the slime covered museum.
After seeing the storyboard of the proton pack test scene, watching Egon work on a proton wand at dinnertime and the photo of Egon making(?) a trap I have really wanted to see some equipment repair and test scenes. I imagine the trailer shows almost all the footage we get about jury-rigging the trap but I'm excited to see it on the big screen after waiting decades for similar scenes.
If you were Grooberson and you’d got yourself involved to this point - surely you would strap one on yourself? It’d be odd to just leave it to the kids wouldn’t it?
I suppose it depends on whether Egon has all off the packs. Can’t imagine Venkman taking his away with him.

We literally see that in the trailer, no? Phoebe brings it to school, has no idea what it is. Grooberson knows what it is, we see the green mist come out. Surely both of them want to see what is inside, him probably to prove the crossrip really happened. Most likely tries different ways, i.e. prying it open to no avail, and then tries to use electricity to power it open, hence the car battery.

Yes, but *why*, especially if he knows the repercussion of releasing a ghost?

I assumed the opposite. The trap is hidden under the floor and secured by a puzzle that Phoebe solves (at least that's what the trailer leads you to believe). We see that the trap appears to have a ghost in it. If so, then the trap would need to have some kind of power source. It would seem many years have passed since Egon lived at the farmhouse. So this leads me to believe that the trap was on some kind of trickle charger when it was hidden under the floor. When Phoebe brings the trap to class, perhaps the charge starts to fail and in an attempt to keep the ghost contained, Grooberson tries to charge the trap using the jumper cables, but fails.

This makes me wonder, was the containment unit moved to the farmhouse HQ?

This is a really really good theory!
I'll add to it. I think that what Phoebe find in the floor puzzle is the Pke. She activate it and it start to blink and to guide her towards the nearest ghost: the one in the trap. A trap that is hooked to a power source in the Secret Egon's Lab.
I was finally able to see the Jason/ Ivan clip on the big screen last night here in Australia and I noticed during a BTS shot in Egons lab that one of the computer monitors has Janinies gold whale on top of it.

What is Janine's gold whale?
It's her paperweight in the first movie.
Like during Winston's interview when she gives the worksheet to Ray, look left of her name plate.
Wow. Some cool news. Ghostbusters is the number 1 movie in theatres! Granted not many are open, but still, it’s pretty darn cool to see the movie take the top spot after 36 years.
