The first teaser posters for Paul Feig's Ghostbusters reboot have finally been revealed, and the all-female team for the film certainly looks like it ain't afraid of no ghosts.
The four different posters — one per lead — are cast in black and white, with the exception of a featured full-colored Ghostbuster insignia, goggles and/or gear.
Collider also reported the descriptions of the four lead characters, which seem to jive well (and pay homage to) the original ghostbustin' force:
- Kristen Wiig plays Erin Gilbert, a particle physicist, academic firebrand, spectral warrior.
- Kate McKinnon is Jillian Holtzmann, a nuclear engineer, munitions expert, and proton wrangler.
- Melissa McCarthy is Abby Yates, a paranormal researcher, supernatural scientist, and entity trapper.
- Leslie Jones is Patty Tolan, a ghost tracker, municipal historian, and metaphysical commando.
While the official synopsis is unknown at this point, original Ghostbuster and SNL alumn Dan Akroyd told Comic Book Resources that the plot "refers to the first two [Ghostbusters movies] in a really neat, classy way, but this is all going to introduce them to a whole new generation of girls that are going to want to be Ghostbusters. We always needed them."
Starring Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Melissa McCarthy as the supernatural-and-slime-battling squad, the movie will also feature Chris Hemsworth in the role of the Ghostbusters' secretary, with appearances by Andy Garcia, Michael Kenneth Williams, Matt Walsh and Cecily Strong.
Directed by Feig, the reboot is scheduled to hit theaters July 15, 2016.
