It is not a reboot. What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day,” added the director. The teaser, clocking in at 45 seconds, does not reveal much. However, the psychedelic sparks in the haunted garage and the famous Ghostbusters logo go a long way in suggesting that new film may well have the same essence.
