We're definitely going to call Ghostbusters RN.

We have no idea why there was such a huff about this remake. These ladies look like they're about to slay this reboot. Sorry, not sorry but any movie with Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig (hay, Bridesmaids) is automatically legit in our book. As if the posters didn't already hint at this films badassery, the trailer just confirmed it. As you know, this will be a reboot of the '80s classic we all know and love starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis. Sure Melissa, Kristen, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones is a change-up from the old cast, but we're stoked to see what their take will be on the timeless classic. 

The team gets together after they realize that there are more paranormal sightings than usual around New York City. But Jones enters the picture because, while the rest of the women know science and ghosts, she knows the city better than anyone—and has access to a car. Cue the Ecto-1!

"You didn't disclose that the vehicle was going to be a hearse," McCarthy jokes.

"It's a Cadillac!" responds Jones.

And we're hysterically laughing already.

If that weren't enough to get you excited, just wait for the quick glimpse you get of Chris Hemsworth kicking down a door. It looks like he will definitely be participating in some of the action!

The Ghostbusters official website notes, "Thirty years after the original film took the world by storm, Ghostbusters is back and fully rebooted for a new generation. Director Paul Feig combines all the paranormal fighting elements that made the original franchise so beloved with a cast of new characters, played by the funniest actors working today. Get ready to watch them save the world this summer!" Um. Sold. Ghostbusters will be released July 15 of this year. Eep!
