It’s been a long, long road for the Ghostbusters reboot, but things are finally underway and the first on set images have leaked on Twitter! The photos show Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon in action, of which McKinnon appears to be slimed. They are currently shooting in Boston, which I guess is doubling for NYC.

“Wiig and McCarthy play a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real. Flash forward a few years and Wiig lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia U. Which is pretty sweet, until her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia. Wiig reunites with McCarthy and the other two proton pack-packing phantom wranglers, and she gets some sweet revenge when ghosts invade Manhattan and she and her team have to save the world.”
The film stars the aforementioned plus Leslie Jones, Cecily Strong and the recently added Chris Hemsworth. Look for Ghostbusters July 22nd, 2016.
