“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” is “at times funny, at times scary, always fun,” says director Gil Kenan

Three years ago, the release of Ghostbusters: Afterlife became a passing of the torch as a new generation of Ghostbusters – and Ghostbusters filmmakers – took up the mantle.

For Jason Reitman, son of the late Ivan Reitman who directed the first (and second) Ghostbusters, stepping into the Ghostbusters franchise as the director of Afterlife meant truly embracing his role in the family business. And before his dad passed away, Jason was able to tell Ivan about his plans for Frozen Empire, his follow-up to Afterlife. 

“We sat outside with my dad and we started telling him all our ideas for the next Ghostbusters movie,” Jason Reitman recalls. “We laid it all out for him, and it’s the last story that I ever got to tell my dad – the story of Frozen Empire, a new adventure for the ghostbusters back in Manhattan.”

"Whenever someone approaches material that's so beloved, there's a reflexive reaction to be worried," says Kenan in recent interviews. "It's a responsibility we take very seriously. We're working to make a Poltergeist film that lives up to the original's legacy."
