In addition to Coon, Grace, and Wolfhard, the film also stars Paul Rudd, Logan Kim, Celeste O’Connor, and Tracy Letts. During the interview, Kenan talked about his long history with the franchise and why working on the project meant so much to him, how they were left alone by the studio to craft the story and film, the challenge of making a film for both long-time fans and people that didn’t know what a Ghostbuster was, why he always respects the audiences intelligence, what it was like sending the script to Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson, Mckenna Grace’s fantastic performance, and more.Īs you’ve seen in the trailers, Ghostbusters: Afterlife is the sequel to 1984’s Ghostbusters and 1989’s Ghostbusters II, as the film follows a mother ( Carrie Coon) and her two kids ( McKenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard) who move to Oklahoma, where the kids discover their grandfather’s past with the original Ghostbusters team.

With Ghostbusters: Afterlife now playing in theaters in, I recently got to speak with Gil Kenan about co-writing the Ghostbusters sequel with director Jason Reitman.
