Just a few hours ago, we shared a clip from director Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and now Columbia Pictures has released the 1 minute long “final trailer” for the film! You can check it out in the embed above – and if you’re a fan of the original Ghostbusters (watch it HERE) and/or Ghostbusters II (watch that one HERE), you’re going to love the final moments of this trailer. We’ve known for a long time that original Ghostbusters stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson are going to be showing up in this movie and the trailers have wisely only teased their appearance. The final trailer doesn’t give away too much, but it does end with a tease that I was very happy to see and hear.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife is set to reach theatres in just 11 days, on November 19th. Written by Reitman and Gil Kenan, the film stars Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, and Mckenna Grace as
a family with single mom Callie and her two kids, Trevor and Phoebe, who move into a beaten-down farmhouse in Oklahoma only to discover that there’s something strange in the neighborhood. Unexplained quakes shake the town. There’s an old mine nearby that bears the name of Ivo Shandor, who built the Manhattan high-rise in the 1984 film that channeled the forces of evil.
Paul Rudd plays “a local teacher who’s been documenting the unexplained phenomena, befriending Callie and her kids, and helping make the connection between the current weirdness and the events of three decades before”. Also in the cast are Bokeem Woodbine, Tracy Letts, and Oliver Cooper, with Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts reprising their roles from the first Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II.
Jason Reitman’s father Ivan Reitman (who directed the first two movies) produced Ghostbusters: Afterlife, with Aykroyd serving as executive producer alongside Jason Blumenfeld, Michael Beugg, Aaron L. Gilbert, Jason Cloth, and Kenan.
Our own Chris Bumbray already had the chance to watch Ghostbusters: Afterlife and gave the film an 8/10 review you can read at THIS LINK.
