Ghostbusters: Afterlife Trailer – Ecto-1 Cadillac Returns

It’s back!

Today’s trailer for Ghostbusters Afterlife was released. An old star has returned: the Ecto-1, an iconic 1959 Cadillac ambulance that became a ghost-mobile. This movie is set after the events in the previous two. It follows Callie (Carrie Coon), who is a single mother, along with her children Phoebe (MckennaGrace) and Travis (Finn Wolfhard), as they move into their grandfather’s Oklahoma house that’s full of strange Ghostbuster relics. As ghosts return to terrorize Summerville and leave the children to search for the relics, things quickly turn sour.

The Ecto-1 is one such artifact, which was left unattended in a barn. In the last 30 seconds, the Cadillac is prominently shown as Tavis, Phoebe and their gang chase ghosts and uncover the car’s unique features, such as the gunner seat. All the Ghostbuster relics are kept in Flyover Country’s rural barn. The house was once owned by Dr. Egon Spengler (original Ghostbuster played in the late Harold Ramis).

Who are you going to call?

It’s a welcome sight to see the Cadillac return, a brand that was a huge success with its 2016 reboot. The Ecto-1 is an iconic movie character, right up there with Eleanor in Gone In 60 Seconds and the Pontiac Trans Am in Smokey & the Bandit. It’s exciting to see the Ecto-1’s red body and fins as well as all the gadgets and gizmos on top, whizzing across your screen.
