When you need some scientific expertise for a movie about busting ghosts, who you gonna call? Well, MIT of course!

The very first trailer for the movie, starring four lady leads, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon, came out last week. Now, a new international trailer for Ghostbusters (above) has hit the web, and if you’re any sort of Bostonian, you’ll surely recognize some signature spots from around the city.

Paul Feig put a lot of time and effort into designing the ghoul-blasting, apparition-capturing weapons used in the new “Ghostbusters” film set for release this summer.
In fact, the director and his team were so determined to perfect the arsenal of scientific weaponry used by the film’s characters that they enlisted the help of a former Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher to explain the dynamics of the complex devices.

This Massachusetts made film be in theaters July 15.

Ghostbusters, set for a July 15 release date, may not be the most realistic concept, but to actress Kate McKinnon, the new movie is truthful in the way it represents women — specifically, female scientists.

The movie trailer for “Central Intelligence,” portions of which were shot at On the Hill Tavern in Somerville and other Massachusetts cities including Boston, Burlington, Lynn, Middleton and Quincy, is out.

A Japanese trailer for Gus Van Sant’s The Sea of Trees arrived online, offering the first extended preview of the Matthew McConaughey-starring film since the release of a short clip early last year.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has released a 30-second teaser trailer for the reboot of “Ghostbusters,” which is due out this summer.

Back in 1989, Ghostbusters II predicted that the world would come to an end on Feb. 14, 2016. (Or as Peter Venkman says, “Valentine’s Day. Bummer.”) Well, Valentine’s Day 2016 is officially here, and while the world hasn’t ended yet, Sony has marked the occasion by releasing the first look at the upcoming Ghostbusters.

If Disney’s new action adventure film The Finest Hours reminds you of a certain George Clooney movie from about 15 years ago called The Perfect Storm, you wouldn’t be wrong. There are similarities as both are Massachusettes-set movies following a group of ordinary men in survival mode on the high seas as a huge Nor’easter hits. But apart from the spectacular effects of lots of giant crashing waves on a comparatively tiny boat, The Finest Hours has more on its mind as it tells the true and heroic story of one of the most incredible Coast Guard rescues in history.
