MANILA, Philippines – Thirty years after the original Ghostbusters, the movie is getting a reboot, directed by Paul Feig and starring an all-female team.
While Paul has been tweeting sneak-peeks of the movie, not many details have been revealed about the plot. But on Wednesday, Feburary 3, Paul tweeted about the launch of the movie's official website, which includes photos of the cast and the characters they'll be playing.
The only male star announced so far is Chris Hemsworth, who plays Kevin, the Ghostbusters' secretary.
Meanwhile, the team is composed of actresses Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy, and Leslie Jones.
Kristen Wiig plays Erin Gilbert, a particle physicist, academic firebrand, and 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.
And Leslie Jones is Patty Tolan, a ghost tracker, municipal historian, and metaphysical commando.
Aside from releasing these photos and descriptions, Paul has been tweeting photos of the production too.
In July 2015, he posted a photo of the girls in uniform, standing in front of their car, the Ecto-1.
