Who you gonna call? These four spectacular women, that’s who. The remake of the 1984 film Ghostbusters, will feature the incredible all-female leading cast of Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and Saturday Night Live Stars Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.
Ghostbusters is about Erin Gilbert (Wiig) and Abby Yates (McCarthy); a pair of unsung authors who write a book about the existence of ghosts. 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.
Oh, and Chris Hemsworth plays their receptionist too. Take a look at what Melissa McCarthy had to say about working with him. Wouldn’t we all like to know.
Interestingly, out of all the iconic elements from the original movie they wanted to bring back for their reboot – the Ecto-1 was top of the list, director Paul Feig explains. Take a look at the vignette below to see footage from the movie that reveals how they acquired the vehicle, behind the scenes and how the cast members approve of the iconic car…
Ghostbusters is set to hit cinemas in the summer of 2016.
