00:00Your return was teased at the end of the last film,
00:03but what was it like being fully back into the Ghostbusters franchise?
00:08It was very satisfying as an artist and an actor to be asked to come and play this role again
00:13and to have a concept that we all originated way back when be embraced by everybody.
00:22I feel flattered, I feel grateful, I feel exhilarated tonight
00:27because we've melded the original Ghostbusters with the new cast
00:32in an organic, honest way that people are going to love.
00:36What was the first thought that you had when you saw yourself back in the suit?
00:40Well, I thought that I was very happy that Taylor made the alteration so it would fit me.
00:47Very happy that it looked the same to me, but of course it wasn't.
00:52You rocked it. You rocked it for sure.
00:55And finally, I want to say the ending of the last movie really got me emotional
01:00with all four Ghostbusters reunited.
01:02What was that like watching that back on the big screen for the first time
01:05and seeing Harold up there?
01:07We loved Harold and the way they did that effect was so moving and emotional.
01:13Truly, we were feeling it as actors that afternoon when we shot that.
01:17We were feeling his absence.
01:19And what are you hoping for the future of the franchise moving forward?
01:22I hope this young cast stays with us and wants to do a few more of them.
01:27And we've all got ideas for stories,
01:30so we'll just have to see how Frozen Empire does out there at the box office.
01:34Staying in New York, a new location maybe for the next one?
01:38We like New York, but that's not to say that we couldn't make New York the base
01:42and travel off somewhere else.
01:44But, hey, there are ghosts around the world.
01:47So.
