After thirty-two years and a reboot, we’ll finally be getting a new sequel to Ivan Reitman’s Ghostbusters (watch it HERE) when his son Jason Reitman’s film Ghostbusters: Afterlife reaches theatres on November 19th. To keep us hyped for the film’s release, a couple new Ghostbusters: Afterlife posters have arrived online and can be seen below. These posters show cast members Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Carrie Coon, Paul Rudd, Logan Kim, and Celeste O’Connor preparing to deal with what appears to be some sort of potentially apocalyptic supernatural event. You know, what Ghostbusters do.
Scripted by Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan, Ghostbusters: Afterlife stars 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, and Annie Potts reprising their roles from the original Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II (watch that one HERE).
Ivan Reitman produced Ghostbusters: Afterlife, with Aykroyd serving as executive producer alongside Jason Blumenfeld, Michael Beugg, Aaron L. Gilbert, Jason Cloth, and Kenan.
JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray had the chance to see the film back in August and had a very positive reaction to it. You can hear what he had to say about it in the video embedded below the posters.
