Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

The Big Picture Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has just opened in theatres, bringing a cool nostalgic feel to the franchise with the chills and thrills of big-budget entertainment, and the man behind it is director and co-writer Gil Kenan. Kenan recently sat down with Collider's Steve Weintraub while on the promotional trail for the film, and the pair discussed a variety of spooky topics relating to it — one of note was that of deleted scenes, always a popular subject.

"There's only a couple of deleted scenes. Unfortunately, they're great scenes, so it's really hard to do, but they were really necessary to cut for shape and flow. They were fantastic scenes that came sort of too late in the film, when you really wanted to watch the preparations for the final siege on the firehouse come together. I'm definitely including them in whatever extra material’s out later on because I'm proud of the scenes.

Will There Be a Director's Cut of 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire'? Despite the collection of scenes cut from the film, Kenan dismissed any notion of an extended or director's cut being put together for the home release, noting that he feels the cut made for cinema is ultimately the best version for both viewing and also for him as a filmmaker.
