25. Ghostbusters: Afterlife

Ghostbusters Afterlife
Sony Pictures Releasing

After 2016's Ghostbusters reboot failed to make a dent with audiences - quite the opposite, in fact - Ivan Reitman's son Jason attempts to rejuvenate the flagging franchise with a more direct, reverent sequel to the original two movies.

Though there's plenty reason to be skeptical about such an after-the-fact sequel, that so many major original cast members are returning for it - namely Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts - is massively encouraging.

Though the late Harold Ramis sadly won't be back, Aykroyd assured audiences the film will offer up a respectful tribute to his Egon Spengler, what with Afterlife's new protagonists being his descendants. Oh, and Paul Rudd's in the mix too, which is usually a good thing.

Release Date: June 11
