JAKARTA - Many viewers consider the remake of Ghostbusters in 2016 a disappointment. Maybe the sequel to the ghost exterminator group in 2020 will be able to satisfy the thirst of the audience.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife, that's the title of the film that Sony Pictures Entertainment will release in the summer of 2020. The film's first trailer opens with the life of a small family who recently moved from the city to a rural area.

Summarized from Gizmodo, maybe the sequel to this film is very suitable to be compared to a piece from the Green Acre sitcom sung by Vic Mizzy "Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside," or if it is translated as 'Please take care of Manhattan, and just give me the countryside,'

Of course not without reason, because from previous films this group of ghost exterminators often exorcises the spirits from big cities like Manhattan, New York. Now the exorcism story will focus on a small village in Oklahoma.

Ghostbusters Story: Afterlife will revolve around Callie (Carrie Coon) and her two children who have to move to a big house owned by her late father. Unexpectedly, their father and grandfather were Egon Spengler, played by the late Harold Ramis from the film Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989).

The storyline of this film is certainly not that surprising, because it will focus on Egon's two grandchildren, Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) and his brother Travis (Finn Wolfhard) in eradicating ghosts. Moreover, their mother also did not reveal anything related to their grandfather.

Not a few easter eggs from the original Ghostbuster film are back in the sequel to this film. Starting from proton packs, ecto-1 cars, Ghostbuster uniforms, PKE meters, and ghost traps.

All things about their grandfather and his legacy as a member of the Ghostbusters will be learned, thanks to the help of their science teacher played by Paul Rudd. Not to forget the naughty ghost who became the Ghostbusters icon, namely Slimer.

The actions of these two teenagers indicate the footsteps of their predecessors to become ghost hunters. Moreover, the ghost chase with the ecto-1 car.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife directed by Jason Reitman and written by Gil Kenan. The film is scheduled for release in July 2020.
