New Ghostbusters Photos Released

The upcoming reboot of the classic 1984 film Ghostbusters has got several new images showing off the female squad that will be busting ghosts this time around. The four lead characters will be played by Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy and Leslie Jones. The movie will be released on July 15 next year.

According to EW, “Dead criminals from all eras of New York’s under­belly past have returned to roost among the living in Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters reboot. Pilgrims, old-­timey sailors, Revolutionary War spirits, and even a couple of zoot­-suited gangsters are ready to take on four formidable female busters looking to rid the city of its phantasmic filth”. Director Paul Feig told Comingsoon.net, “I’m having a lot of fun playing with genres”.

He added, “…I love the original film, but I also just love the idea of busting ghosts and kind of paranormal warriors. I thought, ‘You know, if I could do this with the funny women I know and kind of just do a new origin story…’ I’m more interested in what would happen today. You know, you see things on TV about ghosts, but none of it’s real. What if, suddenly, something started happening? What happens when that just begins to happen to people? Also, how do they develop their technology? It’s not as fun if they’re just handed their proton packs. It’s why it’s not as fun to do a sequel. The fun is getting there”.
