Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire director Gil Kenan opens up about the help the film received from the late Ivan Reitman.In an interview with Collider, Kenan was asked about pitching the concept of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire to Ivan Reitman before his passing. “It was validation,” Kenan stated. “It was such a warm and loving storytelling session. We sat in his garden, and Jason [Reitman] and I walked him through a full pitch. It was a completely dynamic three-act pitch. He was so happy to hear about the confident return to New York City, happy to hear about the interplay of the legacy, OG Ghostbusters with our new Spengler family characters, and the conclusion of our new characters in this story… I just remember it being an incredibly warm and validating experience.”Wolfhard previously discussed working with members of the original cast, explaining that “Dan [Aykroyd], Annie [Potts] and everyone are such open books, and you can ask them anything about their lives and their industry stories. You can ask Dan about SNL in 1975, and he just remembers it all off the top of his head. So it’s really surreal to be in a room with these people, but they make you feel equal, which is really nice.” Wolfhard added, “There’s no ego or anything. There’s mutual respect.”
