If there’s something strange happening in your neighborhood, don’t fret! Bill Murray, reprising his iconic role as Peter Venkman, is back in action in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” hitting theaters on March 22.
But Murray isn’t the only familiar face returning for this chilly sequel. Joining him are original Ghostbusters Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts, ready to tackle the Big Apple covered in ice after an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force. And let’s not forget Slimer, aka “The Mean Green Ghost,” who returns with a vengeance, adding to the excitement.
According to the sequel’s logline, “Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.” With a star-studded cast including Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Celeste O’Connor, and Logan Kim, the stage is set for an epic showdown.
In the latest trailer, Murray quips, “Heads up. Tall, dark and horny at 12 o’clock,” as the gang encounters a Devil-like, glowy-eyed beast. And if that isn’t enough to get your proton pack charged up, the Ectomobile zooms across New York, ready to harness icy ghosts and save the day.
Directed by Gil Kenan, who penned the script with Jason Reitman, the creative duo behind “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” this sequel promises to be a thrilling continuation of the Ghostbusters saga. With Ivan Reitman, the director of the original two “Ghostbusters” films, on board as producer, alongside his son Jason and Jason Blumenfeld, the legacy of the franchise is in good hands.
Kenan expressed his excitement, stating, “It’s an absolute honor to pick up the proton pack and step behind the camera for the next chapter of the Spengler family saga.” With such passion driving the project, fans can expect a film that honors the past while delivering plenty of new and exciting adventures.
So mark your calendars and get ready to be thrilled, chilled, and entertained by “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” as it hits cinemas this March!
