The First Trailer for 'Spectral' Tries to Bust Ghosts With Guns
Who would you actually call if ghosts started running amok and doing real damage to a major city? Maybe the military, since the real Ghostbusters don’t exist. That seems to be the idea behind Spectral, a sci-fi action movie in which an American Special Ops team is sent into a seemingly war-torn spot in Europe to fight what turns out to be ghost-like supernatural beings.
The first trailer has arrived, and it looks like a combination of Black Hawk Down, Aliens and, yes, a heavy duty Ghostbusters. James Badge Dale, who has seen his share of more realistic historical combat fare in 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi and the HBO miniseries The Pacific, helps lead the mission as a brilliant government scientist.

The movie also stars Emily Mortimer, Bruce Greenwood and Badge Dale’s 13 Hours co-star Max Martini and is directed by newcomer Nic Mathieu with a score by Junkie XL (Deadpool). Originally planned as a 3D theatrical release from Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures, the studio had set an August 2016 date but then pulled it last minute over the summer.
Now Spectral has been acquired by Netflix and will debut exclusively there on December 9.
