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!

Empire Magazine has an outstanding Greatest Cinema Moments Ever issue hitting stands this week (with great cover art by Ghostbusters fan and illustrator Bill McConkey as a bonus), and within the pages is a new look at Ghostbusters Afterlife, still scheduled to release on June 11, 2021.

The photo, featuring Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Logan Kim’s characters shows the characters in the Ectomobile, sporting what looks to be flight suits. There’s a great anecdote about the last few months of post production and his father’s reaction to the film from director Jason Reitman.

“My father hasn’t been leaving the house much because of Covid,” he tells Empire in his first interview about the movie, published in the upcoming new issue – available to pre-order here. “But he took a test, put on a mask and drove down to the Sony lot to watch the movie with the studio. And after, he cried, and he said, ‘I’m so proud to be your father.’ And it was one of the great moments of my life.”

Head to Empire for more and the full in-print article with more Ghostbusters Afterlife hits newsstands January 21st. Stay tuned to the HQ for more as we have it leading up to the film’s release!
