Friends Talk Film Presents: a movie spoiler review. This is my review of the new Ghostbusters film, a reboot of the classic 1984 original. Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) and Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy) are a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real. A few years later, Gilbert lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia University, but her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia. When ghosts invade Manhattan, Gilbert reunites with Yates, teaming up with a nuclear engineer, Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), and a subway worker, Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones), to save the world from a mysterious evil and powerful demon known as Rowan (Neil Casey) who can exercise control over human forms. CAST Melissa McCarthy Kristen Wiig Kate McKinnon Leslie Jones Charles Dance Michael Kenneth Williams and Chris Hemsworth Director: Paul Feig Executive producer: Dan Aykroyd Budget: 154 million USD Producers: Ivan Reitman, Amy Pascal
