The fourth Ghostbusters film will be called Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Filming is wrapped up on the next movie in the Ghostbusters franchise, that’s seeing Jason Reitman step into his dad’s shoes – Ivan having helmed the first two films – as director.

It’s set to be a direct sequel to Ghostbusters 2, and as such the cast will see Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts return for a start, with Paul Rudd leading the new recruits.

No official title has been announced as of yet for the film, but we’d heard a rumour previously that when the film was being developed within Sony, one of the working titles for it was Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Now, a report over at BadTaste in Italy is echoing that title, and it says too that it’s own sources are saying the same thing.

Furthermore, even though there hasnā€™t been an official announcement, the first trailer for the movie has now been classified by the BBFC. And guess what itā€™s called? Yep, Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Thatā€™s signed and sealed, then.

The trailer, interestingly, is rated 12A. Thatā€™s likely the target rating of the film too, of course.  Expect the 2 minute 28 second trailer to be released this side of Christmas.

The film is set for release in July 2020.
