Sony Announces ‘Ghostbusters’ Animated Film; ‘Afterlife’ Sequel to Return Franchise to NYC
thewrap.comThe announcement was made on the Sony Pictures lot by “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” director Jason Reitman and his writing partner Gil Kenan Wednesday as part of “Ghostbusters Day,” a special event commemorating the anniversary of the original 1984 “Ghostbusters” release.
As teased by the post-credit sequence in “Afterlife,” the sequel will see the series return to the Ghostbusters’ original headquarters in a New York City firehouse, where Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) is seen driving the Ecto-1 back to its first home.
The plot is still under wraps, so it is unclear whether the film will center more around the original Ghostbusters team minus the late Harold Ramis or around the young cast of “Afterlife” led by McKenna Grace with Finn Wolfhard and Logan Kim.
Also entering development is an animated “Ghostbusters” film from Sony Pictures Animation that will be unrelated to “Afterlife” and its sequel, with Jennifer Kluska and Chris Prynoski directing.
