Seems the PC crowd is all upset, I might have to go see it now

The Ghostbusters trailer has been unleashed upon the world, like a ravenous Slimer. 

And there's so much promise locked within this tease. Director Paul Feig and screenwriter Katie Dippold have carefully placed all the right elements into play; with the same sort of half-nostalgic, half-revamped feel that pushed The Force Awakens to such resounding success.

Plus, the film reaps from the strongest players of Saturday Night Live's modern history, and one box office queen; pitching Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones against the forces of the supernatural.

However, some fans have highlighted a problem within the film's casting; the combination of three white, educated scientist characters played against a black character who is seen to rely on "street smarts". It's a combination which unfortunately slides towards the usual, tired cinematic stereotypes when it comes to race, as many on social media have pointed out.

There needs to be a remake of Blazing Saddles.  Rosie O'Donnell should play Mongo.

I think it would be both hated and praised. Many actors would shy away from it I bet.  I do think there is a big market for politically incorrect entertainment.  Look at Chris Rock, incredibly popular and not at all politically correct.
