Get ready for the internet to light up once again. It seems with each new revelation about Paul Feig‘s upcoming “Ghostbusters” movie, the lines in the sand are only being drawn more deeply, with those on one-side vowing their childhoods are ruined forever, while on the other, buying a ticket for the movie is seen as a political act. Meanwhile in the middle, there’s a silent majority who will just wait to see the movie and decide if they like it or not. At any rate, the news about the soundtrack is going to stoke a few more fires.

RCA Records has revealed that a bunch of people you never heard of — G-Eazy ft. Jeremih, 5 Seconds of Summer, Pentatonix, WALK THE MOON, and Wolf Alice — are contributing songs to the movie. However, the most important bit of news comes from Pete Wentz, who revealed on Twitter that his former pop punk sensations Fall Out Boy have teamed with Missy Elliott for a cover of Ray Parker‘s original “Ghostbusters” theme. I dunno…take Fall Out Boy out of the equation, and I would be much more interested in that cover.
But for those who are worried about “Ghostbusters,” Dan Aykroyd — who is a producer on the movie, and has formed the production company Ghost Corps. specifically to develop “Ghostbusters” projects — says the movie is really good, and even better than the original two movies. And we know we can take him at his word, because he has zero vested interest in its success.
See Akyroyd’s full statement below, followed by Elle King‘s “Good Girls” from the soundtrack, which will drop on the same day as the film on July 15th.
