‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ Has Been Rated PG-13 for “Supernatural Action”
Jason Reitman‘s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, a sequel to the original classic(s), was originally supposed to be released in theaters last summer, but we all know what happened there. At this moment in time, the film is set for theatrical release on November 11, 2021, so we’re not looking at “The Summer of Ghostbusters” but rather the “Holiday Season of Ghostbusters.”
And much like Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters: Answer the Call before it, we’ve learned today that the MPA has officially handed in a PG-13 rating for Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
The film is rated PG-13 for “supernatural action and suggestive material.”
For the sake of comparison, both of the original Ghostbusters movies came to theaters with PG ratings attached (the PG-13 rating wasn’t created until 1984, we should note).
In the film, written by Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan:
When a single mom and her two kids arrive in a small town, they begin to discover their connection to the original ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind.
Afterlife‘s cast includes Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Paul Rudd.
Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts are all coming back for this sequel to the original classic, reprising their iconic and beloved roles.

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
