Ghostbusters: Afterlife’s Failed Magic Trick
Tim Basaraba – The formula looked strong: have the son of the original Ghostbusters director make a film set almost 40 years after the events in the first film but, this time, set it in rural Oklahoma and have a set of teenagers be our conduit to the supernatural. Then all you have to do is cast well known comedic actor Paul Rudd for some star power and voile!, a hit film that tackles the new while honoring the original with tasteful nostalgia. Magic, right? Unfortunately not.
