The final trailer for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has been released (via SFFGazette.com), and while the long-running film series is known for delivering laughs, it appears we're in store for some real scares this time as well.
Despite only being a minute long, this sneak peek showcases the monstrous Garraka, perhaps the deadliest threat New York City has ever faced. Even with two teams of Ghostbusters set to unite, it's clear they're going to have their work cut out for them.
The franchise returning to the Big Apple will be welcomed by fans and director and co-writer Gil Kenan previously explained, "The move to Oklahoma in Afterlife was very much by design. We knew we had to get away from New York City in order to recontextualize what it meant to ghost-bust and what it meant to be a Ghostbuster."
"We wanted to refocus the stories on a character's arc; on the arc of the Spengler family and on Phoebe in particular. We needed to get away from the apparatus of ghostbusting in order to redefine it. Having done that, the next task was, 'How do you take that discovery?'"
"'How do you take the path that's been laid out in front of our characters and force them to step into the ring? What does it mean to be a Ghostbuster? What does it mean to be a Ghostbuster in New York City? And specifically, what does it mean to be a Ghostbuster in New York City when the greatest threat ever facing the institution comes to bear?'" the filmmaker concluded. "That’s this story."
