Ghostbusters: Afterlife international trailer features Stay Puft and Terror Dogs

Chances are you already know the who the grandfather of the kids in director Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife is, but just in case you don’t know and don’t want to know yet, I won’t say his name. I will say he is in the newly released international trailer, embedded above, but his identity is obscured. What we do get to see in plain view are other things that tie the film directly back to the original Ghostbusters (watch it HERE), like Stay Puft marshmallow men and rampaging Terror Dogs. There’s also a ghost called Muncher who is basically this film’s version of the iconic Slimer.

Scripted by Reitman and Gil Kenan, Ghostbusters: Afterlife 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 Logan Kim, Celeste O’Connor, Bokeem Woodbine, Tracy Letts, and Oliver Cooper, with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts reprising their roles from the first Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II (watch that one HERE).

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.
