GHOSTBUSTERS 3: AFTERLIFE Official Trailer (2020) Paul Rudd, Bill Murray
What is the premise of “Afterlife” and how does it connect to the original Ghostbusters team?
The highly-anticipated “Ghostbusters 3: Afterlife” official trailer was released in December 2019, and it promises to be a thrilling adventure for fans of the original films.
Directed by Jason Reitman, son of “Ghostbusters” director Ivan Reitman, “Afterlife” follows a single mother named Callie (Carrie Coon) and her two children, Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) and Phoebe (Mckenna Grace), who move to a small town in Oklahoma. There, they discover their connection to the original Ghostbusters team, as they uncover a secret legacy left by Callie’s father, who turns out to be none other than Egon Spengler (played by the late Harold Ramis, who passed away in 2014).
The trailer is full of callbacks to the original films, from the iconic Ecto-1 car to scenes of the new team donning the proton packs and battling supernatural creatures. The original Ghostbusters Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson are also set to reprise their roles in the film, alongside newcomers including Paul Rudd.
Rudd plays a teacher named Mr. Grooberson, who is a fan of the original Ghostbusters and helps the new team navigate their way through the supernatural world they have uncovered. His involvement in the film has generated excitement among fans, as the actor’s charm and comedic timing make him a perfect fit for the franchise.
Reitman has described “Afterlife” as a love letter to his father’s original films, and the trailer certainly reflects that sentiment. It teases a mix of nostalgia and fresh storytelling, with the young cast bringing a new perspective to the Ghostbusters universe while still paying homage to the iconic characters and moments that fans know and love.
While no official release date has been announced, “Ghostbusters 3: Afterlife” is expected to hit theaters sometime in 2020. With the talented cast and creative team behind the film, it looks poised to be a welcome addition to the Ghostbusters franchise and a thrilling ride for audiences of all ages.
