Reports say Ghostbusters director Paul Feig has continued to feed pieces of information from the set of the reboot to fans.

According to the reports, Feig first provided a German Ghostbusters fan account with a too-detailed breakdown of the movie's proton pack props; now he's showing the world the latest version of the iconic Ecto-1 car.

Sources say Feig tweeted a picture of the vehicle today, shortly after news came out that the new movie, which features an all-female squad of 'busters, had added The Wire's Michael K. Williams and Andy Garcia to the cast. Neil Casey is reportedly set to play the movie's villain.

The new vehicle looks boxier than that original, losing the Cadillac's tail fins, but maintaining its side-mounted ladder and array of sirens and lights. A second view, tweeted an hour later after a fan demanded to see the back of the car, shows the Ghostbusters logo and a more muted red-and-white color scheme.
