There’s something strange in the neighborhood but it’s definitely not the lead actors of directorJason Reitman’sGhostbustersfilm, currently titledGhostbusters2020. Reitman shared the photo on Twitter, giving fans the first official look at leadsMcKenna Grace,Finn Wolfhard, andCarrie Coonin costume.
“The family’s all here,” Reitman captioned the photo, which featured himself, Grace, Wolfhard, Coon, and his father, directorIvan Reitman. Ivan previously directed 1984’sGhostbustersand the 1989 sequelGhostbusters II. Ivan is a producer onGhostbusters 2020but it’s unclear if he’ll be on set the entire time or if he was just present for the day the photo was taken.
Either way, it’s definitely a treat to get our first, true-blue look at the upcomingGhostbustersfilm. Sure, there’s no ghosts, slime, or a giant Stay-Puft character stomping around set but this is by no means a lackluster photo. Coon and Grace are nearly unrecognizable in the hair and make-up for their characters (not that that’s a bad thing!). Coon, who plays the mother of Grace and Wolfhard’s characters, has gone blonde for the role and is sporting some solid mom jeans. Meanwhile, Grace is sporting a bobbed haircut, round-framed glasses, and overalls — a very utilitarian look for a teenager. We can really get a good vibe from Wolfhard’s costume since he’s sitting behind Grace but chances are good he’s wearing the heck out of it.
Noticeably absent from the photo isPaul Rudd, who recentlyconfirmed his castingon social media. There are also no signs of originalGhostbusterscast membersSigourney Weaver,Dan Aykroyd,Bill Murray, orAnnie Potts, all of whomwill be returningfor the film in some capacity. It may not be clear how much screentime the original cast will have as they reprise their roles forGhostbusters 2020but we should prepare for their involvement to be a huge selling point when trailers and posters marketing the film eventually come out.
Filming onGhostbusters 2020kicked off in June in Calgary, a city in Alberta, Canada. Plot details are being kept under wraps, as are the specifics on the characters and even how the original Ghostbusters team will figure into this new story.Ghostbusters 2020will be releasedon August 04, 2025.
