UGH….so sad. RIP.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Damn, RIP. Just got the Ghostbusters box set and haven't watched yet. Now it's time to crack it open.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

So sad. I just watched Ghostbusters: Afterlife last weekend, I kept thinking how proud he must have been that his son carried on that legacy.

And the original Ghostbusters is an absolute classic!

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Those early films of his are classic.. Ghostbusters, Stripes, Twins, Kindergarten Cop, Dave... RIP :(

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

I lost track of the production. Did he film Triplets or is it still stuck in development hell? I imagine if production hasn’t begun it’s dead in the water now.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Arnold was on Kimmel last week and said they were going to start shooting later this year.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Man that sucks. :(

Triplets would be a good one for Catherine Reitman if they proceed and keep it in the family.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Wow this was unexpected. Guess he died suddenly. He does appear in newly filmed footage on the new Ghostbusters 4K set talking about certain scenes with his son. I wonder if that might be his last appearance on camera.

Anyways, an amazing career and an influential filmmaker. RIP

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Even his early producing work is impressive. I'm sure David Cronenberg benefitted from having Reitman produce his first couple of films, Shivers and Rabid.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

So sad - he was one of a kind. :(

I'll do a Ghostbusters-Stripes-Dave rewatch this weekend in his honor.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Man. This one hurts. So glad he got to collaborate with Jason on GBA. RIP.

Another great McMaster alumnus passes away.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

:rip: :(

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

....damn 😔

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Shit- I was actually watching either the first or second Ghostbusters the moment the news broke, first thing I saw after deciding not to stay up and watch the “chick version” next.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Man, what a great filmmaker he was. The older I get, the younger 75 seems.

He really was a great talent behind the camera.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

I'm going to be honest: I thought he was already dead.

Touching tribute from his son, though.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

probably confusing him with Harold Ramis who appeared in many of his films, but he was promoting Afterlife with his son a bunch, so he was around and looked good to me. so sad another in 2022. too soon imo.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Really sad to hear it. Grew up watching so many of his films. A truly great funny guy who gave us some really classic movies.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

Sad news. One of my favorite directors. Love Stripes, Ghostbusters, Dave, Legal Eagles, Twins, etc.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

He also produced William Fruet's Death Weekend, which is very good (still waiting for a domestic Blu-ray release). Cannibal Girls, unfocused as it is, has moments of greatness. I don't care about any of his comedies/Hollywood films.

Re: RIP: Ivan Reitman - Dead at 75
 

one of the best comedy directors bar none. He made some of my absolute favorite movies growing up. A true loss to the world. :(
