Ghostbusters Christmas movie?

The official Ghostbusters accounts on social media have been teasing SOMETHING for a couple weeks now, and today we’ve learned that the wait is almost over.

The first official teaser trailer for the upcoming sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife will debut tomorrow, November 8. Check out the official announcement video below!

This teaser-for-the-teaser once again suggests a sequel set in New York City during the Winter, but we’re still waiting for confirmation on the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire title.

Could this be a Ghostbusters Christmas movie? Stay tuned…

Gil Kenan (Monster House, Poltergeist) is directing the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

The cast includes Patton Oswalt, Kumail Nanjiani, James Acaster, and Emily Alyn Lind, alongside Ernie Hudson, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon.

Jason Reitman, who directed Ghostbusters: Afterlife, is producing the upcoming sequel. The current release date is March 29, 2024, pushed back from December 2023.

Last we heard, the upcoming movie will return to New York City and the iconic firehouse made famous in the original Ghostbusters films – thus the working title, Firehouse.

The first teaser for the sequel came in the form of an Afterlife post-credits scene.

“It’s an absolute honor to pick up the proton pack and step behind the camera for the next chapter of the Spengler family saga. I just wish I could go back to 1984 and tell the kid in the sixth row of the Mann Valley West that one day he was going to get to direct a Ghostbusters film,” said Kenan in a recent statement.

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!

We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!

Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.

“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.

Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”

In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
