Ghostbusters: Afterlife, director Jason Reitman’s sequel to his father Ivan Reitman’s films Ghostbusters (watch it it HERE) and Ghostbusters II (watch that one HERE), is getting very close now; in fact, we’re just four days away from the film’s November 19th theatrical release. In anticipation of its release, a couple new clips from the film have arrived online, and in these we get to see the lead characters played by Mckenna Grace and Finn Wolfhard interacting with friends played by Logan Kim and Celeste O’Connor. And in the case of Grace’s clip, we get to see some classic ghostbusting equipment being tested out as well. These two clips can be viewed in the embed above.
Written by Reitman and Gil Kenan, Ghostbusters: Afterlife stars Carrie Coon, Wolfhard, and 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 Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts reprising their roles from the first two Ghostbusters movies. Josh Gad recorded the sounds made by a ghost called Muncher.
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.
