Ivan Reitman

Ivan Reitman's commercial instincts and understanding of popular entertainment created some of the 1980s' most successful comedies, from 'Ghostbusters' to 'Stripes' where his ability to balance spectacular effects with character-driven humor established new possibilities for high-concept filmmaking. His background in Canadian comedy and collaboration with performers like Bill Murray brought intelligence to material that could have been merely silly while his directorial skill ensured that even the most outrageous concepts remained grounded in recognizable human behavior.
