Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is a 2024 American supernatural comedy film directed by Gil Kenan, who co-wrote it with Jason Reitman. It is the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), the fourth mainline and fifth overall installment in the Ghostbusters franchise. Featuring Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts reprising ther roles from the previous films, with Kumail Nanjiani and Patton Oswalt joining the cast, the film sees the veteran Ghostbusters returning to New York City and collaborating with their successors to save the world again from a new ancient evil.
Following the success of Afterlife, Sony Pictures announced a sequel in April 2022 with Reitman returning to direct. In December, co-writer and executive producer Kenan took over as director, with Reitman remaining as co-writer and co-producer. That same month, Rudd, Coon, Wolfhard, Grace, Hudson, Potts, Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd were all confirmed to reprise their roles. New cast members, including Nanjiani and Oswalt, were announced in March 2023, with principal photography commencing that month and wrapping in June as Dario Marianelli composed the film's score. It is the first film of the franchise to be released following the death of co-creator and Reitman's father Ivan, who posthumously receives a producer credit, and the film is dedicated to his memory.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire premiered at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater in New York City on March 14, 2024 and was released in the United States on March 22 by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $202 million on a budget of $100 million.
Three years following the Summerville incident, Callie Spengler, her boyfriend Gary Grooberson, her children Trevor and Phoebe and their friends Lucky Domingo and Podcast, relocate to New York City to aid Winston Zeddemore and Ray Stantz in re-establishing the Ghostbusters. Following the team's most-recent ghost capture, Walter Peck, the Ghostbusters' long-time opponent and now-current mayor, threatens to put them out of business for good. To appease him, Callie removes Phoebe from the team for being underage. Upset, Phoebe plays chess in a nearby park, where she encounters and befriends Melody, a ghost of a teenager killed in a fire.
Ray and Podcast collect cursed objects for examination. Nadeem Razmaadi sells them a strange brass orb with ritual markings written in Mesopotamian Arabic. Ray determines it is an apotropaic trap whereas copper alloys typically being used in rituals since the Bronze Age, believed to have spiritual conductivity.
When Ray evaluates its psychokinetic energy levels, the orb emits broad-spectrum psionic energy. A cold wave travels from the orb to the Ghostbusters' firehouse headquarters and damages the containment unit, which is at near capacity. Winston takes the orb to his company's paranormal research and development center, run by Doctor Lars Pinfield. Using an experimental extraction device, he is unable to extract any orenda from it. The orb's captive psychically sabotages one of the center's confinements, allowing a "Possessor" ghost to escape and hide in Podcast's equipment. To learn more, Lars joins Trevor and Lucky to see Nadeem, who reveals that his grandmother kept the orb hidden within a brass-lined chamber. Peter Venkman, brought in to help, discovers Nadeem has latent pyrokinesis.
Ray, accompanied by Phoebe and Podcast, visits Doctor Hubert Wartzki, a New York Public Library research librarian and anthropologist, who explains the orb was invented over four thousand years ago in West Asia by sorcerers known as the Firemasters to imprison Garraka, a demigod who sought to conquer humanity with endowment of "Kusharit Umoti", or the Death Chill, which can kill living creatures through fear alone. Nadeem's grandmother was of the Firemasters' lineage and prevented Garraka from escaping the orb in 1904 during a mock ritual conducted by members of the Manhattan Adventurers' Society, whom he murdered. Garraka was confined in the orb due to being vulnerable to brass. This, combined with fire, and the removal of his horns trapped him within the orb.
When the trio attempts to stop the escaped Possessor from stealing a phonographic recording of the society's ritual, Peck exploits Phoebe's involvement to condemn the Ghostbusters. After an argument with Gary and her mother, Phoebe runs away and takes Melody to Winston's research center. She uses his extraction equipment to project herself as a ghost for two minutes so the duo can physically interact.
