Here Are All The Components Of A ‘Ghostbusters’ Proton Pack

Paul Feig is apparently deciding that he’s going to be a step ahead of everyone else, beating out potential leaks, and give out information about the upcoming Ghostbusters remake/reboot at his own pace via Twitter. Today’s offering is a picture of the proton pack that the stars will be using to bust some ghosts with, only this picture outlines every component needed to make sure the unit is in working order. I recognize some of the words on the picture and that’s about it. If anyone understands it all and wants to let me know in the comments what each piece does, I’ll be seriously impressed.

The synopsis for the film reads:

[Kristen] Wiig and [Melissa] 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.

Earlier today, we posted about several new actors who are confirmed to appear in the film, including Andy Garcia, Michael Kenneth Williams, and more.

The film stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones. Feig is directing the film based of a script written by him and Kate Dippold while Ivan Reitman is producing the film. It is expected to release on July 22, 2016.

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
