Today The Playlist shares a few new stills from Paul Feig's upcoming Ghostbusters remake, one of which prominently features, you guessed it, a library! But...
... which library is it? I can't believe I didn't think to ask this question when we first saw the first trailer since this scene's featured therein. Unless there's a hidden room I don't know about that doesn't look like the Madison Square Park branch of the New York Public Library to me, which is famously where this scene was set in the original film (a scene we've already covered for this series).
I'm guessing the ghost gets a backstory involving that painting over her head. (Shades of Vigo the Carpathian!) Anyway the library is sort of giving me vibes of the Morgan Library (which I recently visited for the first time, and which blew my mind)...

... but clearly they are not the same. Where ever this library's supposed to be I'm guessing the scene in the new film was shot on a set, which is kind of depressing -- the original film is such a love letter to 1980s New York and location shooting.

But the real reason I'm talking about the Ghostbusters remake today is director Paul Feig's brand new freak out in the Daily News over the total obnoxiousness he and his actresses have been facing for the past several months. This should go over well:
