Reportedly, the second Ghostbusters: Legacy movie will also feature Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver and Dan Aykroyd.
New location, old cast? A while ago, “Ghostbusters” fans were enraptured by the newsthat the 2021 new edition “Ghostbusters: Legacy” should receive a sequel. According to media reports, it has now also been confirmed that three of the series’ guarantors of success will return: Bill Murray (72), Sigourney Weaver (73) and Dan Aykroyd (70). According to information from the British “The Sun”. once again shoulder the proton pack.
Why “The Sun” of all people claims to have found out about this could be due to the allegedly planned location of the film. Accordingly, this time the ghosts are not in the USA – especially New York – out of control, but are terrorizing England’s capital London. The location is “perfect” because it offers “classic landmarks of British history”. So will Big Ben be haunted soon or will the king even have to use the services of the ghost hunters?
What about Winston?
But a name is still missing: What about the third ghost hunter who is still alive from the (almost) first hour, Ernie Hudson (77) aka Winston Zeddemore? He had previously guested on the “Kelly Clarkson Show” hinted at being part of the team once more. The newly introduced stars from “Legacy”, above all Paul Rudd (53), Carrie Coon (42), Finn Wolfhard (20) and Mckenna Grace (16), will also be back in front of the camera.
About a month ago it was announced that one of the screenwriters of “Ghostbusters: Legacy”, Gil Kenan (46), will take a seat in the director’s chair in its sequel. The first part was realized by Jason Reitman (45), the son of Ivan Reitman (1946-2022), who in turn launched the first two “Ghostbusters” strips in 1984 and 1989.
The first reports of another “Ghostbusters” part were already circulating through the Internet in June of last year. Industry website “Deadline” reported at the time even from a planned start date for this year in December. It is not known whether the time window envisaged at the time still applies.
