Ghostbusters Afterlife Release Date, trailer, cast, Bill Murray interview and latest news

Wanna go see "Ghostbusters Afterlife" with me this fall? Yes, another Ghostbusters movie is in the works! This movie ups the nostalgia factor with casting and new characters. Look at that miniature Stay Puft. He's adorable.

The big storyline of Ghostbusters Afterlife is that this is essentially the second reboot for the franchise. Directed by Jason Reitman (whose father, Ivan Reitman, directed the original), "Ghostbusters Afterlife" does not weave in the events of Paul Feig's 2016 "Ghostbusters" and takes the ghost-busting world to a final place we never expected Brought to you by: oklahoma.

The release date for "Ghostbusters Afterlife" has been moved many more times than the slimmers on the buffet. Originally set for July 2020, the release date was changed to June 11, 2021 due to the Covid 19 pandemic. It is now scheduled to open to the public on November 11, 2021.

At least, that is the officially announced date. Clips and trailers tell a different story.

First there was Baby Groot. Then there was Baby Yoda. And now there are the mini-pufts, a mix of adorable and dangerous maniacal energy. In this clip, Mr. Groverson notices something wrong with a bag of marshmallows at the local grocery store.

In the first "Ghostbusters Afterlife" trailer, the Ghostbusters world as we know it is soft reset, and we leave Manhattan and the fire department and go to Somerville, Oklahoma. There, Trevor, along with his mother Callie and sister Phoebe, move in to live with their late grandfather because they are broke. Then things get spooky.

A green light is given off and Trevor finds that he has a teacher who knows about ghosts. That is Dr. Groverson, who also knows all about the Ghostbusters and their equipment. And in the process, Trevor and Phoebe learn of their connection to the original Ghostbusters.

"Ghostbusters Afterlife" has a "Stranger Things" feel to it, not only because of the film's aesthetic, but also because of the casting of Hawkins native Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) as Trevor. Another big name is Paul Rudd, who plays Mr. Groverson, a teacher and Ghostbusters history enthusiast.

Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts reprise their original roles, and the absence of the late Harold Lymis cannot be ignored. The trailer suggests that Trevor's family is related to Egon Spengler, played by Ramis.

Speaking to Collider, Bill Murray said of the difficulties of making "Ghostbusters Afterlife," "It was tough. It was really hard. That's why I think it's going to be a good film."

On why the role was so difficult, he said, "It's very uncomfortable to wear that pack. We had battery-sized batteries. Now we have earring-sized batteries. Still, it's really heavy to wear all the time ... It was very uncomfortable. Usually things that have a very high unhappiness quotient, something comes out of it, some quality is produced, and if you can capture it and project it, it will be on the screen and it will affect you."
