The ending to Afterlife worked. I saw Jason's vision 100% and it wrecked me. I sobbed, like a kid. I'm going through a lot of personal issues in life with loss/getting older/pressure from the world. These guys were my hero's. When I saw ALL them back together, I was all of a sudden a 5 year old kid again. When I needed them the most, they came back. It was a healing process I needed, a good cry. Thank you for this vision, Jason.

Hey man I’m right there with you. Middle age does something to you, it’s weird. You begin losing older family members, even friends, and all of a sudden your own mortality is more sharply in focus than ever. I went through it too, still am to some degree. Gotta stay busy and active and try not to get so in your head about it. Easier said than done though sometimes, I know

To the cast, crew and especially Jason Reitman and the Ramis family: Thank you for giving us fans the sequel we never thought would happen. Thank you for bringing the original band back together for one last bust. And thank you for giving us fans the opportunity to say goodbye not just to Harold Ramis, but to Dr. Egon Spengler as well. May Egon's legacy live on through Trevor and Phoebe. Thank you Harold Ramis for the laughs. Until then, see you on the other side.

I watched Afterlife today and the end actually made me cry. I'm by NO means a soft touch! I can't think of another sequel that's done with such love and reverence to the original source material. And you can tell that Harold Ramis is truly missed by his friends and family. I hope they make another as that was a joy to watch. Phoebe was an absolute standout character too!

This is why this movie is so awesome. It's not about showing off technology. It's not about blockbusters. It's about a family, and love for that person. Whether it's the Ghostbusters family love for Egon or the productions love for Harold, who's to say, it's still love. And it's so goddamn heartfelt I'm tearing up again, who keeps cutting those onions???

This actually has me tearing up more than a bit. The care and love that Jason brought to this in every moment of the description as he talks through his decision making process is astounding, and so much of it brought me right back to the emotions of watching it the first time. This movie was a TRIUMPH.

I loved the movie, and I think he did a great job making it feel like it was truly part of the original film's world.

Watching the film, I felt that it came from a place of love, respect, and family, and watching these videos just cements that. Critics who claim the film is overburdened with fan service missed something, and may be missing something on a deeper level within themselves.

@SeleneDethly

Жыл бұрын

I loosely agree with the critics, on some level. We got the Video game that was designed to be GB3, which is also soaked in fan service and call backs; now we got Afterlife a real 3rd movie... and again its got a lot of fan service and call backs. And this kinda thing is common, almost every new legacy type movie, focuses on trying to recapture the original movie. I want to see more original plots for the series, and not just keep going back to the Gozer well. The part of this movie that is about family, and that stuff is amazing, I just feel like they could have told the same story with some new threat, and not retread so much of the original movie. There doesn't seem like there is any reason this HAD to be Gozer.

I have got to say this is the nicest most accessible film production I have seen. Jason and Ben are both kind and helpful answering all the fans questions. You guys should be applauded because many other productions put down fans or just refuse to be open and sharing like you.

​@rareblendcars he was actually, there was a bronze bust of him outside the deans office. A bit more respectful tbh to me than resurrection of the dead to make a movie, even if the overall movie turned out better.

The had a control Harold Ramis so they could make a perfect replica? They’re amazing.

I just watched the film for the first time last night... I was crying during the climax with "THAT Legacy Character." I could barely see the screen, and never have been more grateful for deciding to watch something alone rather than with others. No one wants or needs to see a 32 year old man cry like that from a movie... Thank you for making this movie.

God, the fact that they actually kept the original ghostbusters proton packs for all this time... I get so happy.

Afterlife was one of the first movies that I genuinely enjoyed in years. they did a great job with it.

I had no idea the director was the son of the original. Absolutely loved the movie and the love and care that went into it was so clear!

I loved the beginning when it was more gritty and rugged where egon was on the run.

I would absolutely love to see the digital 1984 Egon testing process!

Absolutely love that bit of behind-the-scenes insight. It’s good to hear how they do all this stuff anyway, but the thought process behind Harold’s appearance was great.

Thank you for sitting down with Jason and making these videos. I adore the film. It was a love letter to the original films, but it was also a really fun ride all on it's own, and that's exactly what we needed. It got me into a movie theater for the first time in 2 years.

Wonderful, just wonderful. As many others have said, I balled like a baby. Thank you Jason, thank you, thank you. For a few moments, we got to be with Harold and Egon once more. There's really only one thing to say....Who ya gonna call?

I wish other "late sequels" or even reboots were such labor or love Afterlife proved to be. Ok this is a unique coincidence having the son of the original director direct this one but still too many times the newer movies are treated just as cash grabs without any passion/love behind them. And in fact many fail often even ruining the franchise itself

3:53 Wait, wait, wait... So _that's_ where that one post-credit scene came from? I legitimately thought it was some kind of absurdly well-restored deleted scene. God _damn_ that is some fine work!

Freaking fascinating. Absolutely love listening in to these conversations.

I'm so happy Jason did this movie. And so thankful for his passion and love of the series. Thank you Jason.

I watched it as soon as it was available on digital, i loved it. I really felt the lamp and lights felt like egon, and honestly i thought the movie was perfect!

The digital egon was so amazing i literally had to look up when it was filmed to make sure harold ramis hadn't actually been in it before he died

I instantly forgave the small niggling annoyances I was having with parts of the movie the moment I saw Harold, that choked me up hardcore and I was in absolute awe of the quality of the graphics. It really was damn near impossible to find the uncanny valley with him.

Thanks, really thanks Jason, Ivan and Dan... They gave us a film that shows the love, the passion for our Ghostbusters ... The delicate treatment they had was incredible, the fact that Egon's ghost had no lines was great. Amazing, thanks again... And in my 33 years, it is the first movie that I see 6 times in the cinema ... And 6 times I found something new.

I love basically everything I'm hearing here. I really appreciated how the character never spoke. I don't think anything he could have said wouldn't have worked as good as it had. And I was wondering how they did the light, because it really did look like somebody was controlling it by hand. Imagine my surprise to discover that's exactly what happened! Thanks Adam and Jason!

That is a fantastic approach to VFX and should be the standard for all virtual recreations of characters from here on out!

They should stop resurrecting people though for movies. The best shot of that whole sequence was the hand steadying Phoebe, which didn't require a ghoulish digital recreation. It's really sad and a bit dystopian that movie studios don't see death as an obstacle to you being in their film. It's great that they got permission, but they shouldn't have sought it and done it how they did at the beginning of the film (in profile, silhouette) and from behind etc so they could have the character without the departed actor. It might feel cathartic in the moment but it ages badly.

I wanted Egon to speak at the end, but it was more powerful he didn't.

I just had to watch afterlife after watching this. I cried twice at the end. The hug worked, really well.

It's been so long since I'd seen a movie that had this much heart, emotion, and soul, I thought I had stepped into the twilight zone when I entered the theater. I thought these kind of films were gone for good. Thank you Jason for providing that glimmer of light. Hopefully more film studios realize that these kind of stories sell, and are something to be proud of.

the recreation of Egon from MPC is now the most realistic recreation of a face hands down, you literally can NOT tell it's cgi, it has stolen the throne forever!

Thanks for all these vids, Adam! And thanks once again to Jason for spearheading such a fantastic movie. I for one hope it's the first of a new trilogy.

The movie was amazing! The nostalgia hit me hard. I have to admit, I cried a bit for Harold.

I cried when I saw the last seen because it felt like a really nice sent off for him and I watched it with my dad not one seat over for me my mom in between him and me and went to see it as a birthday gift to me because I had been wanting to watch it for a while since it came out to the theater I turned 25 years old on December 20th and I have loved the Ghostbusters franchise for a long time. I was just so happy to see a really nice amazing send off for an amazing person

So good! Amazing job for sure to the entire movie team! Thanks for sharing this Adam!

It was such a wonderful thing to see, the most fitting and honest thing that I can possibly say is that it made me cry.

It was such an amazing part in the film. Not ashamed to say it brought a tear to my eyes

Having watched the movie several times, this video cements answers to a number of questions I had, I was very happy to see that Afterlife brought a level of love and warmth to the big screen that is not seen much, the interview is such a delight and an intersting insight to some of the decisions made, Awesome

Wow, what a work of pure love and respect!

watched the movie and omg i teared up at the end with the way they gave tribute to harold , he looked so lifelike ,,, like you could just reach out n touch so much detail likeness

Imagine just sitting there with the Ecto 1 parked right behind the window, Zuul/Vince next to you and some legendary pictures and GB toys around you...

What made this movie work so well I the love and understanding of the original cast, crew, everything that went into it. That love comes through and it work so well.

6:48 "How do you make a lamp funny??" Seriously?? Must've never seen #Pixar's lamp...

so respectful I love it! I was so happy to see Egon again. RIP Harrold thank you for making such a wonderful character

It was all so beautifully done that it really made the movie. Kudos to the team for taking such a huge risk and executing it so successfully!

My 12 year old son laughed so hard at the hamster joke that I had to stop the movie, because we were both just DYING, tears of laughter running down our faces! I don't think I've ever seen a joke land so perfectly with my boy, and that alone was worth the purchase price.

One of those puppeteer hands on the chair Adam knows, its my old friend Steve Neill who did the face grab.

It was a pretty emotional ending.

How they brought eagon was amazing. Being a huge ghostbusters fan I loved every minute of it. Well deserved thanks to you and your team.

I just watched the movie and i LOVED it! that is exactly how you do it! i so hope we see more in the future!!

Ngl seeing the scene of Zuul ripping her arms through the chair, after her vapor form approached from behind, and latching down onto Egon was such a call back that gave me hope this movie was going to be amazing, and I wasn't disappointed.

thank you for these videos adam, you made my childhood come alive again.

While Harold’s cameo was wonderful, I was probably more moved when Annie Potts said “can I help you?” In that whiney Bronx New York accent early in the movie. As I soon as that happened I was in for the ride.

That ending was absolutely beautiful and I cried way too much. Thank you. Praying SONY wants a sequel to Afterlife. Loved the after credits scenes ⭐️🍿🏆

Truthfully, when I saw that I felt tears coming. That was a epic moment and ending thats beyond classy.

The fact that they didn't make him talk helped a lot

I cried uncontrollably at the end. This was such an amazingly well done tribute to Harold.

When Egon's hands wrapped around Phoebe's I lost my shit.

You nailed it.... Thank you

We all know that Ghostbusters Reboot was atrocious. Afterlife was absolutely perfect. Not just as a love letter and continuation of the original film, but it stands on its own as a great film - balancing the comedy, the scares, special effects, drama, emotions, story, character development and nostalgia. Myself, like many, got teary eyed at the scene with Egon Spengler appearing at the end. Never expected he would even appear. I thought that opening scene was as much as we would ever see from Egon. Then as he hugs his estranged daughter as he disappears into heavens is one of the most bitter sweet moments ever. I don't know how Jason will manage to top this one when they go into the sequel.

Love this so much. Thank you

There's a moment early in this film where Callie is trying to get Phoebe excited about her new school. She says, 'You love school!' to which Phoebe replies, 'I love learning. This is a State-sponsored work camp for delinquents." That line was so quintessentially Egon... I knew from that point on that we'd be alright.

Great interview Adam.

I just now got to see the movie, it was beautiful! Thank you!

They tried to kill and bury the nostalgia in 2016 but the nostalgia came back, even stronger than before and conquered the destined path... Thank You Jason Reitman...

I like the part where Egon was playing chess with Phoebe and knocked one of them off the chessboard. 😂

By him mixing old film making and new film making it made the film more real! His love of the original made this so special!

Now they really need to remaster the Ghostbuster 2011 game, when Harold Ramis was still alive and the original crew did the voices for the game (you play the new guy, hired to carry around the new tech Spengler and Stantz made and are not sure is safe to use yet).

I went to the movie with my wife one evening. It wasn’t something I waited excitedly for weeks or see, it was just something to do. I absolutely loved it! I could not believe how much I loved it. Talked about for days, and have been watching loads of KZread videos about it and waiting for it on dvd! I’m so used to seeing movies that I wind up daydreaming through, falling asleep in, or outright aggravated about (Ghoustbusters 2016) that I wasn’t expecting it to be anything! I absolutely LOVE that Ecto 1 got some power! Seeing it come out sideways with lights flashing was epic!

I’ll admit, cried when saw him. The respect that was paid to him was great, in moment of that film.

i think most who went and saw this movie teared up at the end. an amazing movie.

This was complete brilliance. An absolute way to close a childhood legacy for us 80s babies. This movie is one of the best continuations of all time. Awesome flick.

I watched this movie twice and it was just as good the second time as it was the first time. This movie was very well done and directed I balled like baby at the tribute to Harold Ramis! Out of the 4 Ghostbusters movies this is my number 2 one just behind the Original Ghostbusters movie.

There was no better way Jason could’ve pulled this film off. A great send off for the original cast and a great kickoff for the new. We even got to see freaking Evo Shandor come back for only a brief moment which had to be a reference to the video game when Shandor takes over ghost world as THE ARCHITECT!

i watched afterlife in cinemas , loved it , loved the respect for ramis. will gladly rewatch.

Still though, a shoutout for Gunton just for Shawshank from Reitman would have been nice.
