Something strange in your neighborhood? Who you gonna call…that’s right, Ghostbusters, with their long awaited comeback.

This old classic is getting revamped in this 2016 girl-power twist, including some of today’s funniest and most well-known actors. The film is expected to be released on July 15, a week sooner than initially thought. Since the feature is a reboot instead of a direct sequel, the 2016 version will include completely new characters and will be based off an entirely new plot.

When Manhattan gets invaded by spirits, two former ghost novel authors team up with two other unlikely women to save the world and ultimately defeat a manipulative demon, Rowan, who can posses humans.

Erin Gilbert and Abby Yates are a pair of lowly authors who write about the reality of ghosts. Gilbert later lands a job, teaching at Columbia University, which doesn’t last long.

When her past ghost book comes back to haunt her, she becomes the laughing stock of the University and in turn loses her job. Erin rekindles her relationship with Abby in order to put their brains together and come up with a solution to clear the phantom infestation.

Yates and Gilbert recruit Jillian Holtzman, a nuclear engineer, and Patty Tolan, a New York subway worker, to complete the task.

Director Paul Feig had talked of a new Ghostbuster idea in 2014, which displayed strong female roles. This would soon prove to be true after revealing his plans to The Hollywood Reporter. Feig has become a well known comedy director of “Bridesmaids,” “The Heat,” “The Office,” “Freaks and Geeks,” “Parks and Recreation,” and “Arrested Development.” Fans will surely not be disappointed with his newest upcoming comedy.

After asking one of the original Ghostbusters, Bill Murray, of his opinion on the new spin-off, Murray proved to be pleased with the idea.

“I’m fine with it, I would go to that movie, and they’d probably have better outfits too,” Murray said.

Murray also gave suggestions for the casting, which included stars like Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Emma Stone, and Amy Poehler. Likewise, Dan Aykroyd, another former Ghostbuster, shared similar excitement for the new cast and plot.

“The Aykroyd family is delighted by this inheritance of the Ghostbusters torch by these most magnificent women in comedy,” Aykroyd said. “My great grandfather, Dr. Sam Aykroyd, the original Ghostbuster, was a man who empowered women in his day and this is a beautiful development in the legacy of our family business.”

On January 27, Feig shared the set casting list which included Melissa McCarthy as Abby Yates, Kristen Wiig as Erin Gilbert, and Chris Hemsworth as Kevin the receptionist. The movie will also guest star celebrities, Bill Murray, Ozzy Osbourne, and many more.

The gender roles have been completely switched in this new take, with Chris Hemsworth playing the team’s receptionist, replacing the original stereotypical woman.

Some fans have already shown a lot of disagreement and negativity towards the film’s decision to include female leading roles, while others are excited for this feminist promotion.

This supernatural restart of “Ghostbusters” is sure to attract fans worldwide, while also broadening the appeal by promoting girl-power throughout the movie.

After the Ghostbusters are through, you won’t be afraid of no ghost.
