Director Paul Feig just responded to last night’s leaked Ghostbusters set photo with one of his own – and it’s a slam dunk.
Here’s a look at your all-new, all-ladies ghost-busting crew that includes Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones. The photo shows them all in full ‘busting gear, including their proton packs and alongside the Ecto-1. I absolutely love McKinnon’s “Egon” look that gives serious, serious homage to “The Real Ghostbusters” cartoon we all grew up on.
Last week it was revealed that Andy Garcia, Michael Kenneth Williams, Matt Walsh and Pat Kiernan have been cast alongside Chris Hemsworth in Feig’s Ghostbusters.
“SNL” vet Neil Casey recently landed the lead villain role. He is rumored to play the ghost of a murderer (sort of like Wes Craven’s Shocker, actually) who resurrects a ghost army based on historical characters.
BirthMoviesDeath adds the following information about the role, which included a ghostly T-Rex (no joke).
The part I’m assuming Casey is playing is Rowan Elgin, a role written for Peter Dinklage. Elgin is a troll who spends his days antagonizing a call-in radio advice doctor as well as working on a secret machine. That machine is placed beneath the Chrysler Building to tear open a hole in reality and begin an invasion. There are ghost T-Rexs, a Times Square magically returned to the porno days and eventually a giant horned demon.
The full plot details have been revealed here.
The busting begins on July 15, 2016.
