Are you wanting a bit more kooky from your Ghostbusters? Were you a fan of the most wacky vibes of the late 80s cartoon? Prepare to love what they are cooking up for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
Director Gil Kenan gave a bit of insight into the film and the villains, which will come straight from the cult classic animated series The Real Ghostbusters.
The filmmaker teases the upcoming film is influenced by the show’s “wild, original, and weird-as-fuck villains. We wanted to bring that show’s looseness and fearlessness to this movie. I think it’s going to surprise people just how big this film is.”
The beloved animated series ran from September 13, 1986, to October 5, 1991. They continued the adventures of paranormal investigators Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Egon Spengler, Dr. Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore, their secretary Janine Melnitz, and their mascot ghost Slimer.
