Ghostbusters: Afterlife trailer didn’t spoil the “big stuff”

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Recently we were hit with the killer first trailer for director Jason Reitman's upcoming GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE. The trailer gave us our first look at the cast and the upgraded Ecto-1. But no worries, STRANGER THINGS actor Finn Wolfhard says the teaser didn't reveal the "big stuff" yet.

Wolfhard said:

It’s a very surface-level [trailer]. There’s footage, but you have not seen the big stuff yet.

He then adds:

There’s a lot of practical effects and a lot of the effects that you think would be CGI are not.

Good to know! Thanks, Wolfhard!

As if you need a refresher, the original film began:

After the members of a team of scientists (Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray) lose their cushy positions at a university in New York City, they decide to become "ghostbusters" to wage a high-tech battle with the supernatural for money. They stumble upon a gateway to another dimension, a doorway that will release evil upon the city. The Ghostbusters must now save New York from complete destruction.

Directed by Jason Reitman from a screenplay he co-wrote along with Gil Kenan based on the original film which was written by Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ivan Reitman. GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE is produced by Ivan Reitman. It hits a theater near you on July 10, 2020.
