Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
The #15 biggest blockbuster movie of this year (so far), Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire brings the Spengler family back to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level. When the discovery of an ancient artefact unleashes an army of ghosts that casts a death chill upon the city, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.
Once again written by Oscar nominees Gil Kenan and Jason Reitman, with Kenan also directing, Frozen Empire is the fifth film in the mega-hit franchise, picking up three years after the events of 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Returning Afterlife cast include Critics’ Choice Award winner Paul Rudd; Kids’ Choice winner Finn Wolfhard; Emmy nominees Carrie Coon and Mckenna Grace and Kenya-born Celeste O’Connor, while Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts are all back in their original Ghostbusters roles. Oscar nominee Kumail Nanjiani and Emmy winner Patton Oswalt also join the cast this go round.
Chicago Sun-Times says Frozen Empire "carries the same endearingly goofy, science-nerd spirit of the first film and delivers a delightful balance of slimy ghost stuff, sharp one-liners, terrific VFX and a steady stream of callbacks to various characters, human and otherwise, from the 1984 movie."
