Ever since it was announced that Sony was reviving the Ghostbusters franchise with a new, all-female team, there have been some grumblers out there saying it shouldn’t have been done. That wasn’t helped by the first trailer, with many saying it made the whole thing look like a complete travesty. Now though, another trailer has arrived, which certainly shows more promise, suggesting something new while having a few callbacks to the original.

This time around the people fighting the ghosts are Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. It’s been confirmed be set in a parallel universe where the events of the earlier movies never happened, although the likes Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts, will be in the film, playing different characters.

Other new faces include Charles Dance, Michael Kenneth Williams and Chris Hemsworth (who’ll be the women’s hunky secretary. Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) directs, with a July release set. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Ever since it was announced that Sony was reviving the Ghostbusters franchise with a new, all-female team, there have been some grumblers out there saying it shouldn’t have been done. However, now the first proper trailer is here, which gives us our first proper look at the movie. While slightly different in tone to the original, it does look like it’ll be a lot of fun.

This time around the people fighting the ghosts are Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. Previous reports have suggested that the film would be set in a parallel universe where the events of the earlier movies never happened, but the trailer suggests that’s not true, although it doesn’t full explain why the actors from the original movies, such as Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts, will be in the film but apparently playing different characters (it’s also notable that they were left out of the trailer).

Other new faces include Charles Dance, Michael Kenneth Williams and Chris Hemsworth (who’ll be the women’s hunky secretary. Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) directs, with a July release set. Take a look at the trailer below.

With this summer’s new take on Ghostbusters, they’re not just swapping the gender of the spook fighters, but also of their secretary. Annie Potts who played Janine Melnitz in 1984’s Ghostbusters and its 1989 sequel has morphed into the form of Chris Hemsworth’s Kevin. Now we can get out first look at him in the movie thanks to a new pic.

Annie Potts will still be around though, but like Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Pitts and even Bill Murray she’ll be playing a different character than in the original. It appears the movie takes place in a parallel universe to the original movies, where the busters never existed and no one knows ghosts exists.

Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones will be the women who team up to take on the supernatural – and each of them also gets a new pic too, which you can take a look at below. A trailer is expected very soon (it looks like it might it might arrived to tie in with the Superbowl).
