They ain't afraid of no ghosts! The all-woman remake of '80s classic "Ghostbusters" recently re-launched its official site with new photos, info, and the first official trailer. 

The summer movie is a reboot, not a sequel, and stars a brand new squad of Ghostbusters making their debut.

Director Paul Feig recently talked to Empire about the connection between the reboot and original films saying, “We’re not recreating the old movie but we want to do just enough fun nods that the fans will go, ‘Oh, okay, they’re acknowledging that the other movie existed.’”

The brand new trailer revealed a bit more about the ghostbusting team's personalities, a surprise cameo from the original films, and a chilling look at a few new baddies, like a freakishly long-legged skeleton version of Uncle Sam and a possessed Melissa McCarthy. 

Keep reading to see who will be part of the new Ghostbusting team.

Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy) is described as a paranormal researcher, supernatural scientist, and entity trapper.

Abby Yates co-authored a book with Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) about ghosts being real. While Erin left to pursue academia, Abby continued to research ghosts with her new partner. When ghosts invade and threathen New York, however, the two reunite to fight them. 

 



Jillian Hotlzmann (Kate McKinnon) is a "nuclear engineer, munitions expert, and proton wrangler."

Jillian Hotlzmann is Abby Yates' (Melissa McCarthy) new partner. When her original partner, Erin Gilbert (Kristin Wiig), left supernatural research to pursue traditional academia, Hotlzmann joined with Abby. The three women team up together to fight crime as ghosts cross over into our world and try to take over. 



Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones) is a ghost tracker, municipal historian, and metaphysical commando.

Patty Tolan is the rookie member of the team. She doesn't have a background in the supernatural, but her character is a subway worker with extensive knowledge of New York City and its history. Feig underscored the importance of staying in New York City for the reboot, so it's likely her insight will make her a hugely valuable member of the team.
