Here's our first look at the new Ecto-1 from the upcoming 'Ghostbusters' movie

July 8, 2015

With highly successful credits such as Bridesmaids, Spy and several episodes of The Office, Paul Feig is clearly a capable director, but when you take on a new version of a cult classic such as Ghostbusters, you're bound to be held under tight scrutiny. However, with the revealed cast so far, including our four heroes in Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Kristen Wiig, Feig's new vision certainly seems to be heading in the right direction. Yet, fans and skeptics have undoubtedly been curious as to how Feig and his crew will handle the Ghostbusters' iconic ride, the Ecto-1—a key element, nay, a key character, in the Ghostbusters canon.

Feig recently answered our question and likely silenced the skeptics as he tweeted the first reveal of the newest Ecto-1, which appears to be a late-80s Cadillac hearse of some sort, if not just a modified station wagon. It looks relatively simple, a tad unreliable and yet perfectly fitting for what's sure to be a fun time at the movies come the film's currently scheduled release on July 22, 2016.
