Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott are redoing the classic 'Ghostbusters' theme
The Paul Feig-directed Ghostbusters will not only look different from the 1984 original, but sound different too.
In addition to a cast led by women as the titular Ghostbusters with Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy and Kate McKinnon -- and Chris Hemsworth as their receptionist -- this summer's remake will also feature a new version of Ray Parker Jr.'s theme song performed by Fall Out Boy with a verse from Missy Elliott.
Fall Out Boy frontman Pete Wentz announced the news on Twitter on Friday.
