Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire director says original cast will be “actual characters” this time around
After making small, but vital, appearances in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the original cast of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson will return for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, but this time, they’ll thankfully have bigger roles.
While speaking with SFX Magazine, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire director Gil Kenan promised that the original Ghostbusters cast will feel “more fully fleshed out” in the Frozen Empire. “That’s the moment that’s really thrilling for me as a Ghostbusters fan: watching their involvement in the story redefine itself, grow and become more fully fleshed out in a way that speaks to the promise of the original Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2, and what was glimpsed in the fields outside of Summerville in Afterlife,” Kenan explained. “There’s a direct line from there into who they are now and how they act here in our new story.“

In his otherwise astute Cahiers du Cinéma review of About Dry Grasses, Josué Morel describes the main character of Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s latest epic work, Samet (Deniz Celiloglu), as a frustrated, badly loved, and, at times, angry man, who’s “perhaps even a pedophile.” While it can be seductive, sometimes convenient, to reduce the ambivalence of a characterization to something so clear, the manner in which Morel pins Samet down constitutes a fundamental misunderstanding of Ceylan’s commitment to capturing, among other things, the dimensions of child-adult and pupil-teacher relations in all their complexity.
About Dry Grasses involves a complaint about transgressive behavior by Samet toward one of his female students, 14-year-old Sevim (Ece Bagci), with whom he’s nurtured a caring bond within an institution where any expression of affection would be fundamentally at odds with its pedagogy and ethos. The plot of Ceylan’s film isn’t...

Kenan Thompson says 'Good Burger 2' will be "completely different" from the original.The 'Kenan and Kel' star and his co-star Kel Mitchell, both 44, portrayed burger joint employees, Dexter Reed and Ed, in the 1997 comedy flick, which is based on the comedy sketch of the same name on the Nickelodeon series 'All That', and the follow-up is set to be it's own "funny quirky little movie".He told the 'Today' show: "We want to make a funny quirky little movie, but everybody's much much older now. And we're going to have to get past how different everybody looks because it's been 25 years."But then, if we're able to enjoy the story along with that, hopefully, we'll have balance."Kenan then quipped: "Like, me and Kel (Mitchell) still look the same, but, I can't speak for everybody."The original followed the pair as they tried...

Few in Hollywood speak with the enthusiasm and optimism of awards-show producers. A hybrid of party promoters and air traffic controllers, artists and makeshift medical experts (thanks to Covid-19), they’re regularly roasted for their efforts by either ratings or reviews and still eagerly come back for more. But Reginald “Reggie” Hudlin and Done+Dusted president Ian Stewart have good reason to be geeked about producing their third consecutive Emmy telecast Sept. 12. Their 2021 collaboration brought a ratings bump (up 1.4 million viewers to an audience of 7.8 million) and a well-received shift from theatrical seating to a starry dinner party. Teaming with 2022 host network NBC (and, with it, NBCU television and streaming executive vp live events and specials Jen Neal) for a show that returns to its massive Microsoft Theater digs for the first time since the pandemic eighty-sixed traditional gatherings, they’re hoping the...
