Finn Wolfhard is set to have a pretty big year here in 2020, kicking off this weekend with Floria Sigismondi’s The Turning, an adaptation of The Turn of the Screw. And then later in the year, of course, Wolfhard stars in Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, a decades-later sequel to the original classic that appears to center on the late Egon Spengler’s family.
Wolfhard talked about those two projects and more in a new chat with Kevin Smith on Smith’s SModcast, revealing one interesting little tidbit about The Turning, for starters.
You wouldn’t know it by watching the trailer but The Turning isn’t actually set in the present day. Nor is it the kind of period piece that’s set in the distant past.
Wolfhard explained to Smith, “It’s set in the 90s. Well, they don’t ever say that it’s the 90s. It has a great soundtrack. They have some great 90s music in there.”
Amblin’s Steven Spielberg-produced The Turning, which also stars Mackenzie Davis and Brooklynn Prince, will be released in theaters on January 24, 2020.
As for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, it’s headed our way on July 10, 2020, and Wolfhard explained to Smith that the trailer barely even scratches the surface of what we’re in store for.
“You have not seen the big stuff yet,” Wolfhard explained, referring to the first trailer as being “very surface level.” He also teased Reitman’s practical-heavy approach.
“There’s a lot of practical effects,” Wolfhard raved about Afterlife. “And a lot of the effects that you think would be CGI are not, which I was so happy to be part of.”
The original cast will return in this summer’s brand new movie.
