As promised by director Jason Reitman, Ghostbusters: Afterlife is loaded with Easter Eggs, which can be more easily spotted now that the film is available for Digital HD viewing.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which is legging its way to $200 million at the worldwide box office, will next be coming to 4K and Blu-ray on February 1st, and two videos from the franchise’s official YouTube account this week get you ready by spotlighting several Easter Eggs.
For starters, did you notice that Egon’s death scene at the start of Afterlife is an homage to a moment from the original? Ivan Reitman’s 1973 movie Cannibal Girls even gets a shout-out on a theater marquee seen in Afterlife, a nod not only to the director of the original Ghostbusters but also to Ghostbusters 2, which also featured the film on a marquee.
A young Jason Reitman even makes a brief cameo appearance in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, part of a deleted scene that was ultimately cut out of his father’s original classic back in 1984!
One of the fun little Easter Eggs you probably didn’t notice was found right on a shirt Phoebe wears, which is decorated with symbols that should be very familiar to Ghostbusters fans…
From director Jason Reitman and producer Ivan Reitman, comes the next chapter in the Ghostbusters universe. In Ghostbusters: Afterlife, when a single mom and her two kids arrive in a small town, they begin to discover their connection to the original ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind. The film is written by Jason Reitman & Gil Kenan.
Don’t forget: Ghostbusters The Ultimate Collection also releases on February 1!
