Hi guys,

A couple of weeks ago, I got to talk to Jason Reitman while he was in Paris to promote Ghostbusters Afterlife. The fully edited video with French subtitles will come out next week for the French release of the movie but I wanted to quickly put something together for English-speaking fans. So please don't mind the basic editing.

In the interview we talk about the creation of the movie, the future of the franchise and I ask him a couple of questions about some decisions he made in the movie. If you haven't seen the movie, I'd recommend doing so before watching my interview.

I had a lot more questions to ask him but I only had 7 minutes. I hope that you'll find it interesting!

Thanks for sharing the interview. Some interesting questions in there that I'd ask myself if given the oppornity.

I agree about the OGs and that also wished, hoped, expected more scenes with them...and for them to be an actual part of the main story line. I knew the movie was mainly about the new crew, but I still imagined the OGs to show up in Summervile much earlier than they did. For example, I would have prefered Ray's monologue to cut off early and for him to show up at Egon's farmhouse to continue talking to Phoebe about what happened while discovering Egon's lab and Ecto-1.

Hopefully we're going to see a sequel, which features Ray and Winston in a bigger role. Peter would be great as well, but I can't see Bill returning yet another time.

A bummer that Jason kind of confirmed that we won't see any form of extended cut. The second and third act could have done with some more breathing room and felt somehow rushed compared to the first act. I was hoping Sony asked him for a 2 hours runtime for the cinema release and for him to drop "his" version with the home release later on.
