What's it about?
When New York City is revealed to have a ghost problem, three scientists of varying skill-sets form Ghostbusters, a business built to capture and contain paranormal threats small and large, all for a nominal fee.
With the city -and next, the world- at stake, our insanely likeable heroes step up, and get things done.
A film that manages to all at once contain a genuinely sweet romance, believable friendships, terrifying horror and genius comedy, all wrapped with wonderful chemistry and performances from all.
Cinematic gold (and a fun, if lazy sequel), cemented forever in pop-culture and 80’s school discos.
​
“No job is too big, no fee is too big.”
“Is this true?”
“It’s true your honour, this man has no dick.”
The pitch: "Come up with a sequel to Ghostbusters 2, a trilogy capper involving the original crew of Ackroyd, Hudson, Murray and Ramis."
