The cast of the original Ghostbusters – Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts – joined the cast of the new Ghostbusters movie – Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, and Leslie Jones – on the June 8, 2016 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, with the original actors throwing their support behind the new film.

The entire Ghostbusters gang danced as Ray Parker Jr. sang the classic Ghostbusters theme, and Murray and Aykroyd talked about the funny women who suited up to take down ghosts in the revamped version of their characters.

Ghostbusters was directed by Paul Feig (Spy, The Heat, Bridesmaids) and opens in theaters on July 15, 2016. In addition to the four new Ghostbusters, the cast list includes Chris Hemsworth, Charles Dance, and Michael Kenneth Williams.
