One especially line in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire pays homage to Ivan Reitman, the original Ghostbusters filmmaker. Although the precise line hasn't been made public, the story suggests that it's a funny allusion to one of Reitman's early movies.
Iconic comedy abound throughout Ivan Reitman's work. Late in the 1970s, he oversaw the Bill Murray masterpieces " Meatballs" and "Stripes." Along with working closely with Arnold Schwarzenegger during the 1980s and 1990s, he oversaw films including "Twins," "Kindergarten Cop," and "Junior." Later on, Reitman showed his adaptability in comedy by directing films like "No Strings Attached" and "Draft Day."
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire subtly references one of Reitman's early films, therefore honoring his legacy. This is a polite tribute to the director's ongoing relationship with the Ghostbusters series and his more general contributions to comedy film.
From its start, Ivan Reitman was extensively involved in the Ghostbusters series. He oversaw and produced the first 1984 movie, came back for "Ghostbusters II" in 1989, and kept on producing every next Ghostbusters movie, including the 2016 remake and the two contemporary reboots including McKenna Grace. He unquestionably changed the franchise.
The allusion to one of Reitman's early movies in "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" underlines his ongoing impact in the comedy field. It shows the respect and appreciation the directors have for his work and career. This subtle reference gives the movie more complexity and significance, therefore tying it to Reitman's larger heritage.
Ivan Reitman sadly went dead in 2022. Even now, his reputation as a director and producer inspires next generations of directors and producers. Still evidence of his skill and impact are his contributions to the Ghostbusters series and his outstanding body of work in comedy.
