After a week of teasing, which was discussed on the most recent episode of the Crossrip podcast, Sony Pictures has released our first look at the follow-up to Ghostbusters: Afterlife - and revealed the title!
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire will be coming March 29th of next year, and the teaser trailer gives us a great idea of what’s in store.
The teaser gives glimpses of returning cast and new cast, a preview of the epic conflict the Ghostbusters will have to face, and funny enough harkens back to Gil Kenan’s roots as a Reseda kid by featuring Bananarama’s Cruel Summer, famously known for its appearance in Karate Kid.
The teaser promises a huge scale adventure returning the Ghostbusters to New York City to once again save the day, and have a little fun in the process.
And wow, can the spruced up Ecto-1 cruise!
A full breakdown of the trailer will be available here on the HQ shortly, and you know we’ll be discussing it on the next episode of the podcast. But in the meantime, watch (many times) and enjoy and here’s the official synopsis and info straight from Sony Pictures!
