Ghostbusters: Afterlife is an upcoming sequel to the classic Ghostbusters (1984).
I loved the original movie when I was a kid, and I actually look forward to seeing this sequel.
I think the trailer is pretty cool:

It sure looks better than Ghostbusters 2016; I guess that's not really setting the bar very high, though :wink:. Bonus points for Paul Rudd!

Didn't mind that one much, except the lack of continuity which - apparently - this one has.
 
Will it feature Annie Potts? Will it feature a young Annie Potts? Answer the second question first.
