GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE Director Has Sequel Ideas That Will Explore Other Parts of the World
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire director Gil Kenan is having a lot of fun playing in the Ghostbusters sandbox and he’s got ideas for sequels that could be a lot of fun to explore. He wants to tell stories set in other parts of the world that focus on other mythologies. During an interview with GamesRadar, Kenan said:
"I'm a greedy fan. I want more and more Ghostbusters fans, I'd be happy if these stories extended out in every direction. I'm happy that we're back in New York City, but I wouldn't mind seeing something that actually goes to other parts of the world. I do feel like one of the things that we explore in this film is that there are mythologies that speak to not just ancient threats, but ancient ghost-busting that the team in 1984 were not the first to come together to find a way to stop a supernatural threat.
"I'd love to explore how other cultures, or at least I'd love to see as a fan, how other cultures create specific threats and specific ways to deal with them in future installments."
It would make sense to expand the franchise into other parts of the world! There could be some incredibly interesting stories to tell! I know that Sony Pictures and the creative team want to continue to build on the franchise, but for that to happen, the movies released need to keep making money.
It seems like Frozen Empire did ok this past weekend regardless of the poor reviews. It wasn’t a runaway hit, so we’ll have to wait and see what the studio decides to do with the franchise next.
What would you like to see from the Ghostbusters franchise if it continues to move forward?
