Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters 2020 has gotten an official title - disconnected from Paul Feig's 2016 reboot of the paranormal horror-comedy franchise.
Written by Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan (Monster House, City of Ember), several actors from the 1984 Ghostbusters are slated to appear in this new sequel, including Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, and Ernie Hudson in their famous roles. Now, fans can get their first proper glimpse at the actual film.
Although the title leaked online last week, Vanity Fair has now confirmed Ghostbusters 2020 (as it was originally called) will be officially known as Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The outlet has further announced the first trailer will arrive on Monday, December 6, and revealed the very first photos from the movie ahead of then. You can check them out below, along with the film's teaser poster.
As part of its coverage, Vanity Fair also dropped some concrete plot and character details for Afterlife. The Ghostbusters sequel stars Coon as Callie and Wolfhard and Grace as her children - gearhead Trevor and science-loving Phoebe - and follows the three as they move to small town Oklahoma, after inheriting some property from the father Callie never knew. There, the family discovers a schoolmate (Logan Kim) discover something mysterious is happening in a nearby mine.
While the trailer could paint a different picture, Ghostbusters: Afterlife looks and sounds more dramatic and grounded than the previous Ghostbusters movies so far. That's not surprising though; which of the original Ghostbusters are Callie, Trevor, and Phoebe related to, anyway? Tune in for the trailer next Monday to (maybe) find out!
