Paul Feig Reveals ‘Ghosbusters’ Character Names!
Director Paul Feig has revealed the character names of the brand new Ghostbusters, tweeting out that Melissa McCarthy plays Abby Yates, with Kristen Wiig as Erin Gilbert, Kate McKinnon as Jillian Holtzmann, and Leslie Jones as Patty Tolan.
It’s clear these new players juxtapose the original busting crew that consisted of Dan Aykroyd as Dr. Raymond Stantz, Bill Murray as Dr. Peter Venkman, Harold Ramis as Dr. Egon Spengler, and Ernie Hudson as Winston Zeddmore.
In the film, Erin Gilbert (Wiig) and Abby Yates (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.
Gilbert reunites with Yates and the other two proton pack-packing phantom wranglers (Jillian Holtzmann and Patty Tolan), and she gets some sweet revenge when ghosts invade Manhattan and she and her team have to save the world.
The busting begins on July 22, 2016.
DeskPop Entertainment is kicking off their summer slate with the North American VOD release of Insane Like Me?, and Bloody Disgusting is exclusively debuting the official trailer today.
Described as “a twisted supernatural thriller where no one trusts what they think they see,” Insane Like Me? debuts on Cable and Digital VOD June 4, 2024, with outlets including Apple TV, Amazon, Google Play, Fandango At Home, Comcast, Dish, and DirecTV.
Director Chip Joslin’s Insane Like Me? is a supernatural thriller about a combat veteran who returns home after a tour of duty overseas. He becomes the lead suspect in his girlfriend’s disappearance and is subsequently wrongly convicted and incarcerated. Nine years later he is released from the mental asylum, he returns home to find the truth and settle the score.
The upcoming horror film is a Bankhead Productions feature from a script by Britt Bankhead. Bankhead stars and produces alongside Grace Patterson (Slotherhouse) as former lovers whose complicated past is nothing compared to what lies ahead when they reunite.
The supporting cast is rounded out by Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts, Samantha Reddy, Jack Maxwell, Paul Kolker and Meg Hobgood.
