The first GHOSTBUSTERS trailer is expected to drop sooner than later, but until then this new image (courtesy of EW) featuring the film's leading ladies (Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon) will have to do.

EW also has new details on the ghosts the foursome will be busting, and the site is claiming that "Dead criminals from all eras of New York’s under­belly past have returned to roost among the living in Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters reboot," such as "Pilgrims, old-­timey sailors, Revolutionary War spirits, and even a couple of zoot­-suited gangsters."

With the amount of backlash the reboot has received, it'll be interesting to see how people react to the first trailer, although I know there are some who are dead-set on hating the upcoming film. I'll admit that nothing from the movie has wowed me yet, but I'm still going to give it a chance, and I'm hopeful that Feig won't prove the haters right.

GHOSTBUSTERS also stars Neil Casey, Chris Hemsworth, Charles Dance and Andy Garcia, and is scheduled to open on July 15, 2016.
