Ray Parker Jr.’s original Ghostbusters theme debuted with the original Ghostbusters movie in 1984. The song hit the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 list and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song (and ultimately lost to Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called to Say I Love You” from The Woman In Red). Parker’s hit will also be included as part of the new film’s soundtrack, which also features music by Elle King, G-Eazy, Jeremih, 5 Seconds of Summer, Pentatonix, Walk the Moon, Wolf Alice, and others.
The Ghostbusters soundtrack is now available for pre-order.
Thirty years after the original film took the world by storm, Ghostbusters is back and fully rebooted for a new generation. Director Paul Feig combines all the paranormal fighting elements that made the original franchise so beloved with a cast of new characters, played by the funniest actors working today. Get ready to watch them save the world this summer!
In Ghostbusters, a paranormal researcher, a physicist, a nuclear engineer and a subway worker try to rid New York of ghosts that can possess humans.
Feig directed Ghosbusters from a script he co-wrote with Katie Dippold. The film stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, with Charles Dance, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Chris Hemsworth.
