You know how people often complain that the hojillion TV spots any big movie receives these days often let you see most of the damn film before it’s even out? This latest TV spot for Ghostbusters features a scene that was probably best saved for the movie.
Fresh off giving his own (unsurprisingly) positive review of the film, shakycam footage of a TV spot airing in the UK for Ghostbusters ends with the revelation of Aykroyd’s cameo in the film as a taxicab driver. Check it out in all its low-quality glory below:

Yes, he said the thing.
It’s goofy, but kind of what you’d expect from one of these cameos. Still, it seems weird that this is being included in the pre-release marketing for the film. Maybe it’s an attempt to appease the furor over this being a reboot? Typical marketing people, not caring about whatever footage is sent to them? Either way, it’s your first look at an original Ghostbuster in the new movie.
