Real Ghostbusters scribe ignored by Frozen Empire

The anticipated sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife, titled Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, is said to draw inspiration from The Real Ghostbusters animated series, particularly its unique and bizarre villains. Despite this, the original writer of the cartoon, J. Michael Straczynski, has expressed dismay that he was not consulted during the making of the sequel. Straczynski, known for crafting some of the most memorable adversaries in the franchise's animated iteration, sarcastically noted on Twitter that he could have been a resource if only the production team had reached out. Director Gil Kenan has highlighted a desire to capture the essence of the animated show's inventiveness and fearlessness in the upcoming Ghostbusters film. IGN’s review of Ghostbusters: Afterlife praised the film and newcomer Mckenna Grace's performance. The release date for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is still anticipated by fans, who look forward to witnessing how the animated series influences the new movie.
