The first full length trailer for Paul Feig’s new female driven revamp of Ghostbusters is here via Sony. In the trailer ghosts have overrun the city, including Slimer. The Ghostbusters, led by Melissa McCarthy’s character, learn that someone is amplifying the city’s paranormal entities. Spirits of criminals from New York’s history are back and it’s up to the Ghostbusters to save the city.
The ghosts are a bit different than the ones in the 1984 version. In the original ghosts were made with practical effects. The new film relies heavily on CGI and it shows. Another difference between the two films is that the ghosts not only interact with the cast in the new film, they are also able to possess people.
McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones star along side Chris Hemsworth, Michael Kenneth Williams, Andy Garcia, Matt Walsh and Pat Kiernan, with cameos by many of the original cast including Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts.
Ghostbusters will open in theaters nation wide on July 15th, 2016.
