Ivan Reitman, who was best known for directing such classics like Ghostbusters and Dave, has sadly passed away at the age of 75. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reitman passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday night in his home in Montecito, California, and in a joint statement his children Jason, Catherine, and Caroline Reitman told The Associated Press:
Reitman made a career directing comedy with his first feature film being 1971’s Foxy Lady before moving on to such genre-defining classics like Stripes, Meatballs, Twins, and Kindergarten Cop. He also had a hand in producing other comedy gems like Animal House and Space Jam. However, as previously mentioned, he is best known for the 1984 supernatural comedy Ghostbusters which featured the all-star talent of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, the late Harold Ramis, and Sigourney Weaver.
Reitman was a family man and that could be seen throughout all his films. From Stripes to Ghostbusters: Afterlife, that is how he will be remembered. His loving energy and passion will live on through his iconic work. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
