‘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.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
