Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire features the new Ghostbusters — Mr. Grooberson (Paul Rudd) and the late Egon’ Spengler’s kin (Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard and Mckenna Grace) — in a frozen New York City.
They team up with the original Ghostbusters — Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stanz (Dan Aykroyd), Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) and Janine Melnitz (Annie Potts ) — to thaw out the Big Apple.
The Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level. But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.
