Maybe since it’s almost 20 20 it should be, “Who you gonna’ text… message… Tik Tok??” But I’m glad its not.
A teaser trailer for the upcoming 2020 Summer film ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife‘ hit today and its haunted by the ghosts of the original 1984 film.
Written and Directed by original ‘Ghostbusters‘ director Ivan Reitman’s son, Jason Reitman, the story picks up with the family of Egon Spengler (the late Harold Ramis) led by his grandson and granddaughter played by Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) and Mckenna Grace (Captain Marvel/The Haunting of Hill House) as they unpack the creepy farmhouse he left them in his will.
As one would expect, spooky things start happening in the town of Springville including unusual seismic and ectoplasmic activity as monitored by a scientist/teacher played by Paul Rudd.
Callbacks to the original are all over the trailer. From ‘actual’ archival news footage of the Ghostbusters, music cues, Ecto-1 and blink-and-you’ll-miss-’em sight gags (Slimer? Is that you?). Adding to the nostalgia, a voice over from Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) echos cryptically from the first film, Call it Fate … Call It Luck… Call it Karma…. I believe this will be a huge hit come next Summer at the box office.
Let’s Get Bustin’!
