IMAX to Host Exclusive Ghostbusters: Afterlife Fan Event

By Timothy Adams

Fans will get a chance to experience Ghostbusters: Afterlife in IMAX during a special fan event taking place near the end of November. The IMAX exclusive event will feature the opportunity for fans to submit questions to the Ghostbusters co-writer and director Jason Reitman during a pre-screening. The filmmaker is the son of Ivan Reitman, who famously directed 1984's Ghostbusters and 1989's sequel Ghostbusters II. The younger Reitman will look to put his own personal stamp on the Ghostbusters franchise in a new installment that continues the story from the first two films, while also including special guest appearances from returning stars.

Fans attending the TCL Chinese Theatres screenings in Los Angeles will be greeted in person by Jason Reitman. The discussion will include the over 300 Easter eggs in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which should allow for plenty of fodder for eagle-eyed viewers. The livestream will be broadcast simultaneously in the 19 additional IMAX theaters for those attending. Questions can also be submitted by using the custom Twitter hashtag #IMAXGhostbustersFanEvent. Prizes will also be available. 

Ghostbuster: Afterlife stars Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon were interviewed by ComicBook.com's Chris Killian, where he asked the duo if they were secretly a part of the cast for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Coon, who portrayed Proxima Midnight from Thanos' Black Order in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, pretended to answer first, with her voice decreasing while attempting to give a response as if Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was hiding in the background waiting to cut her audio. For his part, Ant-Man star Paul Rudd sat completely still to give the impression that his video feed had frozen.
