Ghostbusters: Afterlife
Sigourney Weaver has confirmed her involvement withGhostbusters 3 , and indicated that original stars Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd will also be regress . Weaver magnificently costarred in the 1984Ghostbustersas Dana Barrett , a cellist who reaches out to the Ghostbusters when she incur herself being haunted by a mysterious demon called Zuul . The cover icon and her costars would go on to repeat their various roles in 1989’sGhostbusters II , but the sequel ’s overall average reception lead to the enfranchisement being put on frappe until 2016 , when it was boot by director Paul Feig . And while Feig ’s pic included cameos from the originalGhostbusterscast ( sans the late Harold Ramis ) , it ultimatelyended up becoming a loge government agency disappointment .
Jump to the present andGhostbusters 3is now strike forward , with film maker Jason Reitman ( son ofGhostbusters 1 & 2director Ivan Reitman ) call in the shots from a script he co - wrote with Gil Kenan ( Monster House ) . The film will reportedly orbit around a group of teen who take up the ghost - busting occupation in the present - mean solar day , and countsStranger Things ' Finn Wolfhard , Captain Marvel ’s McKenna Grace , andThe Leftovers ' Carrie Coon amongits confirm cast members so far . Now , it come out we can impart a few more names to that list .
During a recent interview withParade , Weaver confirm she will appear inGhostbusters 3 . She also indicated that Aykroyd and Murray are member of the film ’s mould , saying"It ’s move to be half-baked mould with the Guy again!”Beyond that , however , Weaver avoided revealing anything in the way of new plot or fiber - connect information .
Aykroyd co - write the originalGhostbusterswith Ramis and has been the franchise ’s bountiful supporter since it was launched , so it ’s no surprisal that he ’s come back forGhostbusters 3 . Murray , by equivalence , has long been outspoken about his letdown withGhostbusters IIand did n’t seem all that concerned in make a third film throughout the nineties and 2000s . However , just this past month , he saidhe ’s open to appear inGhostbusters 3 , and explain that his disinclination about making the picture in the past had more to do with Sony ’s changes in leadership over the years than anything else . It come along he was n’t just talking , either , and has now committed to share the sieve with Weaver , Aykroyd , and their younger costars in the forthcoming subsequence .
That just leaves Ernie Hudson unaccounted for , as far as the primary stars of the 1984Ghostbustersare concerned . There ’s no mention of him inParade ’s clause , but Hudson hasconfirmed that he met with Reitmanto congratulate him afterGhostbusters 3was announce . At the clip , Hudson said he had n’t been near about repeat his role as Winston Zeddemore in the film , but signaled that he ’s open to the idea . It would certainly be dainty to have him back with the rest of the come back guard inGhostbusters 3 , so here ’s hop Reitman finds elbow room for Hudson in the movie .
