Four-time Oscar nominee Jason Reitman, who was born in Montreal, directs the new instalment in the Ghostbusters series.

His father, Toronto-bred Ivan Reitman, helmed the original films in the supernatural comedy franchise and produced the new one.

Cast members include Carrie Coon, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd and Vancouver-bred Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard.

Coon plays a single mother alongside Grace and Wolfhard as her kids.

The story sees the family moving to a small town just as it begins experiencing paranormal occurrences.
