Jason Reitman Talks Honoring Late Father Ivan Reitman in New 'Ghostbusters' Film (Exclusive)


'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' will be the first film of the franchise to be released since Ivan Reitman died in February 2022.

In a statement to the Associated Press at the time, Jason and his sisters, Catherine and Caroline, said, "We take comfort that his work as a filmmaker brought laughter and happiness to countless others around the world. Next up, Jason is paying tribute to another iconic legacy, with his film, SNL 1975, which details the chaos and comedy of Saturday Night Live's premiere episode on Oct. 11, 1975. The writer and director dipped into his Ghostbusters family again for the film -- casting Finn Wolfhard as an NBC page, and he told ET that the decision was a no-brainer.
