The animated series served more as a spiritual inspiration for the sequel.
Movie fans were given two live-action Ghostbusters films in the '80s, but for younger viewers of silly and spooky adventures, the spirit of the concept was kept alive in the animated series The Real Ghostbusters, which ran from 1986 to 1991.
"We both do love Viggo , but we felt like because Gozer made their return in Afterlife, the onus on us was to lead boldly into the unknown with creating our villain and go off the map to discover their mythology and their story," Kenan revealed to ComicBook.com about franchise inspiration for the new sequel.
These recent comments echo remarks Kenan previously shared with Empire Magazine, where he noted that he drew inspiration for the series' penchant for offering up"wild, original, and weird-as-f-ck villains." "We wanted to bring that show's looseness and fearlessness to this movie," the director added."I think it's going to surprise people just how big this film is."
In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who've developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level. But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.
