It's been 26 years since the last Ghostbusters movie was released, and over those 26 years, rumors about a possible third movie had been floating around. Last year we learned that there is finally going to be a new Ghostbusters film, and this one is going to have an all-female lead cast. It's going to star Kriten Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon. Finally! A new Ghostbusters movie!
But wait...
Sony Pictures has revealed that they are wanting to expand the Ghostbusters universe, and are currently in the early stages of another Ghostbusters film! The studio is describing it as a "male-driven, action-centric" film, and will serve as a companion to Paul Feig's Ghostbusters film. To start this new cinematic universe, Sony Pictures has created a new production company called Ghostcorps. A few of the lead people in this new production company are Ivan Reitman, who directed the original films, and Dan Aykroyd, who starred in the first two films.
These guys aren't wasting any time in trying to grab some serious talent for this next new film, either. Joe and Anthony Russo, who directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and are getting ready to start filming Captain America: Civil War, are rumored to be the top pick to produce and direct this new film. Drew Pearce, who wrote Iron Man 3 and helped write Mission Impossible 5, is currently writing the script. And the man that will lead this new group of Ghostbusters? Channing Tatum! He's also going to be one of the producers for this film, as well.
It sounds like Sony is wanting to get back to movies that will create a certain universe, and if all goes well, have those movies cross over for some big blockbusters, a la "The Avengers."
So what do you think? It's been 26 years since the last film. Are people really wanting a return of the Ghostbusters? Give me your thoughts down below, or you can reach me at comconocave
