Canadian film and television director, producer and screenwriter Ivan Reitman dies. He died on Saturday, February 12, 2022, at the age of 75.

Ivan Reitman is known for directing the 1984 comedy film, Ghostbusters, which starred late actor Harold Ramis.

Even though he was born in Komárno, Slovakia, Reitman was raised in Canada where he first met such young comics as his later stars Dan Aykroyd and Rick Moranis.

He made his first major impression as the producer of National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978), the madcap, wildly successful frat comedy that introduced Saturday Night Live star John Belushi to big-screen audiences.
