A New Generation of Spirit Hunters Are Here in the First Trailer for 'Ghostbusters: Afterlife'

Get your proton packs ready — the trailer for the newGhostbustersfilm is here!

On Monday, Sony Pictures dropped the teaser for the upcomingGhostbusters: Afterlife,the highly anticipated sequel to 1984’sGhostbustersand 1989’sGhostbusters 2that will reportedly feature cameos from original cast members Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts.

While none of them appear in the clip, theGhostbusters: Afterlifetrailer does highlight the film’s plot and its apparent serious tone.

The gear seems like it might help explain why the town has been experiencing daily earthquakes, though it probably has something to do with the green beams shooting from the giant hole in the ground.

All seems to culminate with the kids driving around the infamous Ecto-1, shooting charges from a proton pack.

“I’ve always thought of myself as the firstGhostbustersfan when I was a 6-year-old visiting the set. I wanted to make a movie for all the other fans,” Jason toldEntertainment Weeklyback in January when his participation in the film was announced. “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day.”

The new film entirely ignoresGhostbusters: Answer the Call, the 2016 female-led rebootthat starredLeslie Jones,Kate McKinnon,Kristen Wiig, andMelissa McCarthy.

“I have so much respect for what Paul created with those brilliant actresses, and would love to see more stories from them. However, this new movie will follow the trajectory of the original film,” Jason said.

Ghostbusters: Afterlifehits theaters on July 10, 2020.
