5 ‘Ghostbusters’ Clips Introduce Rowan, the Film’s Super Villain
“SNL” vet Neil Casey is the main Ghostbusters villain, Rowan, described as a convicted murderer who turns into a ghost after his execution is hit by a supercharged electrical storm. This gives him the power to raise an army of other ghosts, which could be made up of famous villains throughout history.
Rowan highlights the first batch of clips from Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters, which introduce the new ‘busters: Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig), Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones), and Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy). While many of the clips are extended footage already shown in the trailers (Patty gets a hearse, Kevin makes terrible logos, and the ladies get ready for battle), the highlight is a second weapon test in which the quartet attempt to zap the film’s super villain, Rowan, only it fails miserably.

Additionally, Indiewire caught an interesting bit of news via Yahoo Movies UK that confirms a scene was actually added to the film so that it could address the backlash head on. In an early scene in the movie, the Ghostbusters upload a video to YouTube and read some of the nasty comments aloud…
“It was added [to the script],” Melissa McCarthy tells Yahoo Movies UK. “We did something on the day that slightly tweaked it.”
In theaters July 15, Feig has filmed cameos (in new roles) for many of the original Ghostbusters cast, including Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and even Sigourney Weaver.
Andy Garcia, Michael Kenneth Williams, Matt Walsh and Pat Kiernan also star in Ghostbusters.

In the upcoming slasher, “A nightmare involving a maniac killer in a baby mask serves as inspiration for horror screenwriter Adam Lewis’s new script.
