Additionally, BBQ Films will host a three-night event also starting on June 8. It'll take place in a Brooklyn warehouse made to look like the original Ghostbusters headquarters. The New Recruit ticket package costs $42-47 and gets you in to see the original movie, hands-on ghostbuster training, and more. The Friends of Slimer package is $72-77 and adds reserved seating, two complimentary drinks, and a gift. You can see more info on its website.

The original Ghostbusters starred Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson as the titular team with Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver in supporting roles. Murray, Aykroyd, Hudson, and Weaver are reported to appear in the reboot--Ramis passed away in 2014, while Moranis has retired from acting and turned down a cameo offer.

The Ghostbusters reboot releases in theaters on July 15 and stars Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon. You can watch its first trailer here and see the individual character posters here.
