Filming on Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters reboot has begun in Boston, and the first set photos have found their way online courtesy of Just Jared (more can be found by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page).

Three of the four new Ghostbusters – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon – were seen, with Leslie Jones notable by her absence. The Bridesmaids director announced the start of principal photography on Twitter yesterday, and as you can see below, he did so by teasing the return of Slimer!

The photos promise a unique look for the characters in the movie, and an unofficial plot synopsis has also started doing the rounds. It claims that Wiig and McCarthy play a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real. Flash forward a few years and Wiig lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia U. Which is pretty sweet, until her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia.

Wiig then reunites with McCarthy and the other two proton pack-packing phantom wranglers, and she gets some sweet revenge when ghosts invade Manhattan and she and her team have to save the world.

This new Ghostbusters movie is set to be released on July 22nd, 2016, so stay tuned to HeyUGuys for more!
