Returning Franchise Star Sigourney Weaver Sings the Praises of GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE

We are just two months away from the theatre release of the long-awaited Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The film previewed at CinemaCon this year, where Joey and Billy got to watch it, and they were crazy about it! You can watch their reaction here. But they aren’t the only people stoked over this film.

Returning franchise star Sigourney Weaver, who will be reprising the role of Dana Barrett in the film, recently spoke to ET Canada about returning to the franchise 37 years after the original film. With Jason Reitman — son of original director Ivan Reitman — at the helm of this new movie, Weaver said Afterlife as a worthy sequel to the 1984 classic, saying:

"It's full of heart. It's very funny. It's very charming. And it will surprise everybody. It's just a glorious film."

Ernie Hudson, who is also returning to take on the role of Winston Zeddemore, talked to ComicBook last year around the film’s original release date, saying:

"Jason Reitman — who actually was in the second movie, he was the kid who opens the second movie, and I just remember him being around the set on both of the movies. So I know that he grew up with them, it's very personal to him, he wrote an amazing script, and he's established himself as a director on his own right. He's a wonderful director and so when this started to happen, and because Jason was involved, I felt this would actually happen, I was really excited about it. But when it happened, going to the set for the first time and seeing Sigourney Weaver and Bill [Murray] and Dan [Aykroyd], honestly, it was almost spiritual. I mean, I know that sounds weird, but I was very moved by it. I was very touched."

Everything I am hearing about this movie just gets me more excited to see it! It has been described by many as a love letter to the fans, and I can’t wait to read it. Ghostbusters: Afterlife hits theaters on November 19th.
