On this day in 1984, a little movie called Ghostbusters opened in American theaters. Now, 32 years later, Paul Feig's re-imagined, female-led remake is ramping up its promotional campaign ahead of its July 15 release. Instead of a new trailer, though, Sony rolled out five new featurettes, one on each of the Ghostbusters—Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy), Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig), Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), and Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones)—and the Ecto-1 (played by a classic Cadillac hearse). It's not a ton of new footage, but the featurettes do reveal that the women know their Patrick Swayze film references (including Road House), that Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) plays Erin's boss at Columbia University, and that Patty isn't just an MTA worker—she's a big-time New York history buff. In short, the new Ghostbusters is still a month away, but now we know a little bit more about who we're gonna call.
