IfGhostbusters 3 director, Paul Feig, is still looking to cast his all-female reboot of the supernatural comedy franchise, perhaps he should start by looking in Lynn, Massachusetts.

Students from the Bostonsuburb have created a Halloween-worthy, shot-for shot remake of the original Ghostbusterstrailer. But unlike the 1984 film, the main characters are all played by girls and the female characters are played by boys.

Theshort was produced byReal to Reel, a local nonprofit program that inspires youth to tell their stories through film.

The 2-minute short syncs up with the original trailer'saudio track, butthe Ghostbusters' hearse, theEcto-1,is hilariously replaced by a hand-held Dinkycar.

What the video lacks in special effects, it makes up for in heart, with the girl playing Bill Murray'sPeter Venkmancharacter nailing the comedian's signature deadpan.
