This Japanese Ghostbusters Theme is Everything the Fall Out Boy Version Wasn't

The theme song to the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot was revealed last week, to not exactly glowing praise. But those who haven't warmed to Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott's reworking of the classic song may enjoy the Japanese version, which has just been released by Sony Pictures Japan. It's certainly a lot more faithful to the original--check it out below:

The video features popular comediennes Tomochika, Oniyakko Tsubaki, Naomi Watanabe, and Shizuyo Yamasaki in full proton-pack-blasting Ghosbuster gear. The movie arrives on Japanese shores on August 11, while US audiences can see it from July 17.

Ghostbusters is directed by Bridesmaids' Paul Feig, and stars Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth. Several actors from the original movie will also feature in cameos, including Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Sigourney Weaver.

A number of trailers and teasers have arrived over the past month--check the latest ones out here and here.

Last week it was reported that the new Ghostbuster animated series would be titled Ghostbusters: Ecto Force. The show is to be set in the year 2050, and is expected to premiere in early 2018.
