The new Ghostbusters team is nearly ready for their big screen debut as a variety of tie-in products herald the Paul Feig film’s theatrical debut. That above image offers an adorably illustrated look at the Ghostbusters team from the kid friendly Little Golden Books tie-in (the original Ghostbusters team gets their own version, too) and, in the player below, you can take a look at a new TV spot for Sony Pictures‘ July 15 release.
The new Ghostbusters team begins with Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy as scientists Erin Gilbert and Abby Yates, respectively. Gilbert is a particle physicist while Yates, Gilbert’s close friend, is an expert in the paranormal. As ghost sightings ramp up, they team with Kate McKinnon‘s Jillian Holtzmann, a nuclear engineer who winds up creating the team’s tech. Leslie Jones‘ Patty Tolan, then, is the Ghostbusters team’s everyman character who winds up playing an important role connected to an early supernatural encounter.
The new Ghostbusters also stars Chris Hemsworth as the team’s new secretary, Andy Garcia as the Mayor of New York City, Michael K. Williams as a character named “Hawkins,” Matt Walsh as a character named “Rourke,” and Neil Casey as the film’s villain. New York City’s NY1 news anchor Pat Kiernan is also set to appear as news anchor in the film.
The Ghostbusters movie is directed by Paul Feig from a script he co-wrote with Katie Dippold.
