Director Paul Feig reveals the new Ghostbusters uniforms

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

When you embark on rebooting a beloved, classic property, you open yourself up to a lot of scrutiny and negativity. That has certainly been the case with director Paul Feig's female-led reboot of GHOSTBUSTERS, which hasn't exactly been welcomed with open arms by fans of the original films and the original Ghostbuster team.

Lots of viewers will likely be seeing the new GHOSTBUSTERS with their torches and pitchforks at hand, ready to drive Feig out of town if the movie doesn't live up to the brand. However, we now know there's at least one aspect of the film that may survive the wrath of nitpicking fans: the Ghostbusters uniform, which Feig revealed on Twitter yesterday.

Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones aren't Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson, but their characters do have similar sensibilities when it comes to choosing what to wear when busting ghosts.

So Feig and his crew score points for not straying too far from the familiar jumpsuits and keeping the logo intact. How well the rest of the film rates, we'll find out when GHOSTBUSTERS reaches theatres in just over a year, on July 22, 2016.
