At 10:21pm Tuesday night director Paul Feig tweeted out a picture of Ecto-1 for the Ghostbusters reboot that is currently filming. Then at 11:15pm Feig tweeted that he is not deleting or blocking any negative tweets or people, and that he appreciates the feedback.
The only problem is I looked through roughly the first 100 or so replies and I can’t find a negative comment. I find it very hard to believe that the internet is that nice.
I’m not call Feig a liar, but something smells fishy. Do you think Feig used enough imagination to re-invent Ecto-1 or is it a cheap knock-off of the original?
The box office will determine the fate of the Ghostbusters reboot on July 22, 2016.

The film was written by Feig and Katie Dippold; and stars Melissa McCarthy, Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, and Leslie Jones.
The plot is still unknown but they’re probably going to bust some ghosts.
Not blocking or deleting. I hear you all and appreciate all your input, good or bad. Thanks. https://t.co/pxZsWGeNyL

Here is the original Ecto-1 for a point of reference. The vehicle used for the Ecto-1 was a 1959 Cadillac professional chassis, built by the Miller-Meteor company. The ambulance/hearse combination was the end loader variety.
