Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire director Gil Kenan explained Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis' absence in the latest horror comedy sequel.
finally addressed Weaver and Moranis’ absence from the latest sequel to the iconic horror comedy franchise. He explained that the creative team simply didn’t think that Dana Barrett and Louis Tully would fit in the Frozen Empire storyline.
“That would be a Jason Reitman question. That was more of an Afterlife story. We never wrote a role for Louis Tully in Frozen Empire,” Kenan said. “We’ve got enough characters in this story. I love Tully by the way. I’m a huge Rick Moranis fan. Louis Tully was an indelible element of Ghostbusters. Dana Barrett is also one of my favorite characters in these films, but there was no story for Dana Barrett in Frozen Empire.
The latest installment to the horror comedy franchise is directed by Gil Kenan from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jason Reitman. The sequel stars Carrie Coon, Paul Rudd, Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Celeste O’Connor, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, Patton Oswalt, Kumail Nanjiani, and more.Maggie Dela Paz has been writing about the movie and TV industry for more than four years now.
