We've finally got the first trailer for the new Ghostbusters movie which has confirmed its chilling title as Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

The new movie returns the series to the iconic New York City firehouse as the Spengler family team up with the original Ghostbusters, who have created a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level.

However, when an ancient artefact unleashes an evil force, they all face a fight to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was written and directed by Gil Kenan, who started working on the script before the previous movie was even finished.

Kenan said: "We're writing as quickly as we can. We had the story before we finished Afterlife. We have been crafting this with as much care as it took to build Afterlife into a worthy sequel."
