First Set Pic of Melissa McCarthy in New 'Ghostbusters' Uniform

In terms of 80s film favorites, I like Ghostbusters but I don't necessarily LOVE it like Back to the Future.

Ghostbusters only had one sequel - an above average one at best - while Back to the Future did an entire trilogy which is still today deemed a classic.

Not to mention, the filmmakers behind Back to the Future knew both when to stop and how not to allow any type of reboot or remake from ever getting made (it's in their contracts). Ghostbusters, on the other hand, spent decades in 'development hell' trying to get a 3rd film off the ground before finally succumbing to an all-female led reboot hitting theaters next year. I'm pretty sure it's going to end up taking less time for the new film to go from pre-production to release than it took Dan Aykroyd to write the first draft of Ghostbusters 3.

Anyway, with all that said, we finally have our first look at the new Ghostbuster leader, Melissa McCarthy, on set in full uniform:

I know, not exactly earth shattering but it's the first time we've seen anyone filming a movie with a Ghostbusters outfit in over 25 years so...plus the glasses look like a nice touch.

The new film also stars new Ghostbuster members Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, as well as Chris Hemsworth as 'the secretary' and Neil Casey recently being added to the cast as the film's villain. 

There's no official synopsis yet though there is this tidbit from the Boston Herald (where filming is currently taking place):

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 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.

Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat, Spy) both co-writes and directs the new film, set for release July 22nd, 2016.
