Bill Murray Returns With His Original Co-Stars In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Joining the new cast of Gil Kenan’s Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Murray and his co-stars from the original Ghostbuster movie including Dan Aykroyd. Director Kenan wanted the narrative to be a big step forward. “I mean, Jason [Reitman] and I felt like stewards of the Ghostbusters flame after we made Afterlife,” he told ScreenRant.
“That film was about rekindling that spark that began way back in 1984. And when we sat down to write this new film Frozen Empire, we already knew that a few things were going to move this story a big step forward.”
He added:
“We knew it was coming back to New York City. We also knew that, unlike Afterlife, this one was going to have a lot of ghosts. And not just great in number, but great in power and scale, and that they were going to present the greatest challenge that our Ghostbusters have ever faced.”
The director concluded saying that “was at the center of our instinct for how to move this story forward.” Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has a promising cast and the movie might be another stepping stone for future projects in the franchise.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is showing in the theaters.
