The Ghostbusters are back and in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, we get the best of both worlds. Filming this movie was an epic feat and a total family affair - especially since the director and writer is none other than Jason Reitman, the son of the creator of the franchise - Ivan Reitman. This wasn’t the only family connection though - the old cast came back to be part of the movie and their connections were extremely strong - for the actors new to the Ghostbusters world, it felt like joining a big, happy family.
It wasn’t all easy though - Bill Murray really felt the difference filming all these decades later, realizing that carrying around a very heavy proton pack was far from comfortable. Luckily he decided to go all-in and be part of the ride - off the bat he wasn’t too sure about reprising his role but reading the script managed to change his mind.
While the movie was filmed a couple years before its release, the whole project has been quite hush-hush since day one - Stranger Things alumni Finn Wolfhard almost passed on the audition because he had no idea what the project was - thankfully he took a leap of faith! The actor totally committed to his role, but unfortunately, he wasn’t able to pass his driving tests, so he didn’t end up driving the Ecto-1 himself. Chance did major Ghostbusters fan, Josh Gad, quite the favor - the actor ran into Jason Reitman in the Sony parking lot which led to Gad voicing the new ghost in the movie!
The old, the new, the practical effects, the story…. Everything comes together in Ghostbusters: Afterlife to create an amazing throwback to the classic franchise.
