'Ghostbusters' Star Ernie Hudson Talks Possibility of More Movies Following 'Ghostbusters: Afterlife'
More than 35 years later, the world is still calling for the Ghostbusters as the beloved quartet and their paranormal shenanigans have become deeply woven into the very fabric of our pop culture genome. Between three movies, a plethora of video games, and multiple animated TV series, the Ghostbusters we've come to love are finally gearing up for another chapter with Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters: Afterlife, picking up right after the 1989 sequel blockbuster. But with the movie releasing next March and sparking speculation of a "new generation" at the helm of ghost hunting, could more movies be on the horizon?
In an exclusive interview with Ernie Hudson for PopCulture's series PopCulture @ Home, the 74-year-old actor is addressing the question on everyone's mind: Will the franchise continue well after next spring's release?
"It's probably too soon to say," he said. "But I never understood, because we're talking about ghostbusting. I mean, it was four guys. But you're talking about busting ghosts — you know what I mean? I was always a little disappointed for a number of reasons why we didn't do more. We did the second one and I know that there was a lot of resistance […] There was all kinds of reasons why I'm told, I don't know what's real and what's not real. All I know is, it didn't happen until now."
