Erin Gilbert, Patty Tolan, Jillian Holtzmann, and Abby Yates are ready for action in Paul Feig's new "Ghostbusters" team cast photo.
Fansite Planet Ghostbusters tweeted a photo of the titular team in their full costume and gear. In caption, Planet Ghostbusters wrote, "1st official image from #Ghostbusters shared with the fams 1st! @gostbustershq @paulfeig @gbfans @GBNewsdotcom."
Strapped with proton packs, Feig's Ghostbusters appeared to be in an art-deco hotel lobby, according to Today Pop Culture. The ghostly green glow comes from the ectoplasm, the slime from the ghosts as they interact with the physical realm. While this indicates presence of phatom forces, the four women appeared brave and unaffected.
On July 10, director Feig first tweeted a photo of his all-female Ghostbusters posing with their complete gear in front of the Ecto-1 station wagon, making the debut of his titular team. In caption, he wrote "#whoyougonnacall." The said photo got almost 16,600 favorites and almost 16,000 re-tweets.
Feig's upcoming "Ghostbusters" revives Ivan Reitman's 1984 "Ghostbusters," which followed parapsychology professors who set up a shop as their unique ghost removal service.
"Ghostbusters" is set to showcase a blend of old and new cast members and stars four women as the titular team. The film stars Sigourney Weaver, Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Annie Potts, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, and Chris Hemsworth, among others.
Reitman's 1984 "Ghostbusters" alum Rick Moranis did not join the reboot while Harold Ramis died in 2014, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Feig's "Ghostbusters" is slated to premiere in theaters in the United States on July 15, 2016.
