‘Ghostbusters’ family, more react to death of Ivan Reitman

February 14, 2022 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ivan Reitman had his army of well-known collaborators but the filmmaker and producer’s influence extended beyond that too, as evidenced by the tributes that poured in at the news of his sudden passing at age 75.

By LINDSEY BAHRFebruary 14, 2022 GMT

Ivan Reitman, the influential filmmaker and producer behind many of the most beloved comedies of the late 20th century, from “Animal House” to “Ghostbusters,” has died. He was 75.

Reitman died peacefully in his sleep Saturday night at his home in Montecito, Calif., his family told The Associated Press.
