Who you gonna call?

The Paul Feig-directed reboot of the Ghostbusters franchise starring Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Melissa McCarthy is due out this July, and a new trailer has just landed for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6hlkIlGFCI The first promo for the film was a controversial one, with the video attracting a record amount of dislikes on YouTube. This new one gives more of an insight into the plot of the film, and Chris Hemsworth who plays their receptionist gets a lot more screen time. We also get a glimpse at the legendary Slimer, one of the most iconic characters in the franchise. https://twitter.com/paulfeig/status/677578778365657088 There has been a bit of a barney about the film among hardcore fans of the original, and those who are for some reason annoyed that the film has an all-female cast. One critic from the site Cinemassacre has even refused to review it.
