The GHOSTBUSTERS Are Ready For Action In New Image; First Details On The Movie's Villains
Another exclusive movie still from EW here, this time giving us another look at the new team of Ghostbusters assembled for Paul Feig's reboot. Plus, we have our first details on the spectral bad guys our spook-hunters will be going up against. More past the jump...
A trailer for Paul Feig's Ghostbusters reboot can't be too far away, but in the meantime here's a brand new image from the movie featuring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones marching into battle as our new team of phantom-wranglers. EW also have details on the specific type of spooks the gals will be taking on.
"Dead criminals from all eras of New York’s underbelly past have returned to roost among the living in Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters reboot," claims the site. "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."
Erin Gilbert (Wiig) and Abby Yates (McCarthy) are a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real. A few years later Gilbert lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia University, but her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia. Gilbert reunites with Yates and others when ghosts invade Manhattan and she and her team have to save the world.
Ghostbusters hits theaters July 15, 2016.
