Ghostbusters: Afterlife

[Scarlet Spider]

“The character of Winston Zeddemore and Zeddemore Industries figures strongly into the future of Ghostbusters.”

 

[samsnee]

Eh. I like Winston but I don’t need him center stage

 

[DarkKnight88]

I think less center stage, and more he's running the business for the next generation as hinted by the end credits. So he's the boss.

 

[Drizzle]

Based on how Afterlife ended, I expected Winston to have the biggest role out of the OG Ghostbusters in the next one. Ray also but to a slightly lesser extent.

I hope they all come back in some capacity and we get more Dana also.

Possibly even an Oscar cameo.

 

[DyeLorean]

To be honest, if they're going to appear as a one-day-of-filming-cameo again I'd rather not have them at all.

Please no more rehashing villains. Consult Aykroyd for a wacky new ghost threat. You know he's got thousands of those stored.

That's probably what'll happen: new villain. Also, I think it's mostly gonna be just Winston involved as he's the one training the new blood.

[Scarlet Spider]

Oh wow. Didn't expect Jason to step down. At least it's his partner taking over. This will probably get pushed back into '24.

 

[Sithborg]

I really, really don't want Murray back.

 

[MOVIELORD101]

I really, really don't want Murray back.

Nah, Bill won't be returning probably. We'll definitely see Winston and Ray again. Hell, the recent video game actually follows up Afterlife's post-credit scene and no Venkman to be seen. Peter's story's done.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Murray better be in this.

 

[TheVileOne]

I wonder why Jason Reitman isn't coming back to direct.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

That's a real bummer about Reitman. Surprised he didn't want to continue in the director's chair. Just hope he is a very hands on producer as I loved what he did with the last movie.

 

[henzINNIT]

Most likely explanation for Reitman stepping down would be grief I imagine. Not only was the project a love-letter to his father, Ivan was there through the whole production. It would probably be very weird going back. Bummer though. The replacement isn't very exciting.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Agreed. I think the passing of his father probably has most to do with him leaving. I’m glad they had Afterlife to share together.

I’m cool with Gil Kenan as director. Though he’s kind of 50/50 with me. His Poltergeist remake was terrible, but I really enjoyed A Boy Called Christmas even though it doesn’t seem anybody else saw it lol

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I have genuinely never heard of the new director and that worries me a little. Really wish Reitman was directing this.

He was heavily involved in writing GB Afterlife.

 

[MOVIELORD101]

He directed Monster House and City of Ember, both cult favorites.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Considering that Kenan was involved in Afterlife and that he is close to Jason Reitman, I think he will do a good job with the follow up

Wonder if we will finally see what Oscar has been up to. I can definitely see him be part of the new team. He’d probably be somewhere in his 30s at this point

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

He was heavily involved in writing GB Afterlife.

I did not know that that makes me feel a bit better.

He directed Monster House and City of Ember, both cult favorites.

Haven't seen either or any of his other movies.

 

[Slick]

Finally watched this and I thought it was a very good and emotional legacy sequel as well as being a tribute to Harold Ramis and Egon. That ending really got too me as someone who was an Ghostbuster head as a kid from the movies to the cartoons and games. So I am looking forward to the next chapter. Kinda nervous that Jason Reitman isn’t coming back but we’ll see just gonna hope for the best.
