A new look at ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire‘ has been revealed. In the image, Annie Potts‘ Janine Melnitz finally suits up and becomes a Ghostbuster. See the image below.
Speaking to Empire in the world-exclusive Frozen Empire issue, Potts said, “It’s a desperate situation, so it’s all hands on deck.” Potts added, “It turns out Janine is quite capable, as most women tend to be when given the chance. By the sounds of it, she’ll be a vital addition to the bench of ‘busters, though Potts didn’t necessarily expect to get in on the action. It came as a real surprise. We were weeks into shooting, and Gil [Kenan, director] came up to me and said, ‘We think it’s time… We’re going to have you suit up.’”
