Ghostbusters is an upcoming American supernatural comedy film and reboot of
the Ghostbusters franchise. Directed by Paul Feig and written by Katie Dippold
and Feig, the film stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and
Leslie Jones as the title characters. The film is scheduled for a July 15,
2016, release by Columbia Pictures. The theme song to the original film titled,
"Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker, Jr. was remade and covered by Fall Out
Boy and Missy Elliott for the new film.
30 years after Ghostbusters took the world by storm, the beloved franchise
makes its long-awaited return. Director Paul Feig brings his fresh take to the
supernatural comedy, joined by some of the funniest actors working today.
The movie will begin centered on two characters played by Kristen Wiig and
Melissa McCarthy, who work together to pen a book saying that ghosts actually
exist among us. Upon its release, the piece doesn't really get any attention -
but that changes a few years later. After Wiig's character manages to land a
teaching job at Columbia University, her work on the book is discovered and she
is "laughed out of academia." It's at this point that she reunites
with her former best friend as well as two other would-be Ghostbusters (Kate
McKinnon and Leslie Jones), and all together they find themselves embarking on
a scary, fun adventure.
