The Ghostbusters franchise continues with a new supernatural comedy film, directed by Gil Kenan and written by Kenan and Jason Reitman. The movie follows the events of Ghostbusters: Afterlife and brings back familiar faces, including Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, and Finn Wolfhard, alongside original cast members Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson. New additions to the cast include Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, and Emily Alyn Lind. The story takes place three years after the previous film and follows the Ghostbusters as they team up to stop a powerful entity in New York City. The film was announced in April 2022, with Jason Reitman initially set to direct. However, Gil Kenan took over as director in December 2022, with Reitman remaining as co-writer and co-producer. The movie began filming in March 2023 and wrapped in June. Dario Marianelli composed the score, replacing Rob Simonsen from the previous film. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire pays tribute to the franchise's co-creator, Ivan Reitman, who passed away before the film's release. The movie celebrates the 40th anniversary of the original Ghostbusters and had its world premiere in New York City on March 14, 2024. It was released in the US on March 22, 2024, and has received mixed reviews from critics but positive feedback from audiences, grossing over $201 million worldwide.
