Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Premieres in NYC

This week in New York City, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire held its world premiere at the Lincoln Square AMC. After a fun event at the Hook and Ladder No. 8 firehouse (which had the iconic No-Ghost sign moved into its traditional place and was “frozen” over by production designers to appear as it does in the film), and a rockin’ Yes Have Some Podcast party on Wednesday evening, the red carpet was unrolled and celebrities and fans alike got their first glimpse at the new film.

Much of the main cast has been running the talk show circuit, with Paul Rudd appearing on Seth Meyers, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson being joined by Ray Parker Jr. on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and Patton Oswalt sitting in the chair on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Also at the event, Mercedes-Benz unveiled their Sprinter Van “Ecto-Z” that appears in the film, and fans got their first look at the amazing Proton Pack rack that is built into the car, offering a little backup to the Ecto-1 when the car is a little too full for that gurney o’ packs.

All-in-all, a fun and fan-filled event. Make sure to catch the film on March 22nd in a theater near you, and stay tuned to the HQ and the Crossrip podcast for more coverage!

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Teaser Trailer is Here!

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!
