Director reveals first photo of new Ghostbusters cast in costume
Promotion ramps up as fans converge on San Diego Comic-Con
We've seen the uniforms, the proton packs, and the new Ecto-1 hearse. Now fans finally have their first glimpse at the new, all-female Ghostbusters squad, courtesy of director Paul Feig.
Feig shared an official image with Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kat McKinnonsuited up and standing in front of the Ecto-1.
Feig tweeted the photo with the hashtag #whoyougonnacall, the Ghostbusters' well-known catch phrase. Earlier, he included#whatyougonnawear with the photo of the uniforms, and #whatyougonnadrive with the photo of the Ecto-1.
Earlier today another castphoto surfaced on the video games forum NeoGaf, supposedly taken on set by a superfan.

The Verge's Chris Plantenoted that Kate McKinnon's look strongly resembles EgonSpengler as he appeared in The Real Ghostbusters cartoon. Her blonde pompadour and round-rimmed glasses are a dead giveaway.

The reveal was conveniently timed during the San Diego Comic-Con, amecca for all things nerdy. Bill Murray, one of the original Ghostbusters, made the rounds promoting his upcoming film Rock the Casbah, interacting with fans in a way that only he can including signing a fan's forehead.
