Ghostbusters: Afterlife is finally here! For fans of the Ghostbusters franchise, it has been a long time coming. Bill Murray, who plays Dr. Peter Venkman in the movies, joked about fan reactions to the movie.
In an interview, he said, “Everyone who has seen it says that they cry at the movie. So it should be an extremely successful comedy.” Perhaps the reason that so many fans cry is because of the nostalgia of the film. Many of the original cast members are in the film, except Harold Ramis, who passed away in 2014.
