What did the cast of ‘Ghostbusters 1’ *really* think of the all-female reboot?

A New Menace Rises
Kenan, in an exclusive with Empire, shares his excitement about this new chapter. “We’re in the post-Gozerian era now,” he says, “which means fresh mythology, new stakes, and visuals that’ll leave you frozen in your seat!”
But fear not, loyal Ghostbusters fans! The gang’s all here, including the iconic original ‘busters and the fresh faces from Ghostbusters: Afterlife. That’s right, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson are strapping on their proton packs once more, alongside Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, and Paul Rudd.
Kenan gushes about directing these legends, his voice bubbling with the joy of a true fan. “There was this moment, directing a big scene, and I realized I’m crafting a story with characters I’ve adored since childhood. It’s surreal and fantastic!”
More Than Just a Franchise
Empire’s February 2024 issue, aptly named Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, dedicates a significant portion to Frozen Empire. Expect a deep dive into the new plot, interviews with the cast, and a glimpse into the creative genius behind this icy sequel. And for the
