We finally have a full trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a continuation of the original series unlike Paul Feig’s 2016 reboot and is being directed by Jason Reitman, the son of series director Ivan Reitman. Finn Wolfhard and his sister arrive in a rural town after inheriting a mansion from a mysterious family member.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife looks very different from the original two movies. In fact, there are some elements of the film that are completely opposite from the Ghostbusters formula: Kids appear to be the protagonists instead of adults, and the film takes place in a rural area rather than a major city. The movie also seems like more of an adventure flick than a comedy. The lack of the series’ famous theme song is almost jarring. In other words, it’s clear that Afterlife isn’t a rehash of the first two movies.
While Harold Ramis, who played Egon Spangler, died in 2014, most of the main cast from the original movies is slated to reprise their roles.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife will hit theaters on July 10, 2020.
