Jason Reitman Directing New ‘Ghostbusters’ Film Set In Original Universe
The dust has barely settled from the controversial Ghostbusters (2016) reboot, but Variety reports Sony Pictures already plans to have another go at the beloved franchise. News broke that Jason Reitman (The Front Runner), son of Ghostbusters 1 & 2 director Ivan Reitman, is officially attached to direct a new Ghostbusters sequel. The film is said to be taking place in the original universe, and ignoring the 2016 reboot entirely.
Jason Reitman is also co-writing the screenplay with Gil Kenan (Monster House, Poltergeist), and Ivan Reitman’s Montecito Pictures is set to produce. They currently plan to begin filming this summer, and are shooting for a summer 2020 release.
Story details haven’t been revealed, and there is no word yet on if the original main cast will return. However, Reitman is reportedly “testing teenagers for four mystery roles,†which alludes to a passing of the torch. This makes you wonder if Sony still has aspirations to create a Ghostbusters cinematic universe, which Ghostbusters (2016) attempted to launch.
The announcement may come with mixed feelings from fans of the first two films. Sony’s Ghostbusters (2016) is hardly a distant memory, and there’s still the issue of Harold Ramis’ absence if the original crew returns. Another Ghostbusters sequel is going to require much more delicate execution this time around. Will it be a return to form, or too little too late?
