Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full-trance mediums, the Loch Ness Monster and the theory of Atlantis?
If so, good news — there’s a new Ghostbusters movie in the works.
Entertainment Weekly has learned exclusively that Jason Reitman will direct and co-write an upcoming film set in the world that was saved decades previously by the proton pack-wearing working stiffs in the original 1984 movie, which was directed by his father, Ivan Reitman.
“I’ve always thought of myself as the first Ghostbusters fan, when I was a 6-year-old visiting the set. I wanted to make a movie for all the other fans,” Reitman says. “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day.”
Sony Pictures has dated the film for Summer 2020, with plans to start shooting in a few months.
It’s still too soon to reveal the plot of the screenplay, who the new characters will be, or whether the original actors like Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, or Bill Murray will return. Harold Ramis died in 2014.
“This is very early, and I want the film to unwrap like a present. We have a lot of wonderful surprises and new characters for the audience to meet,” says Reitman, who co-wrote the screenplay with Monster House and Poltergeist remake filmmaker Gil Kenan.

Hahaha! Do you remember Gilligan’s Island set in the old west? (Dusty’s Trail)
Heard of it.
Each character from Gilligan’s Island was re-created for a lost group of travelers wandering in the wilderness of the old west - Trail Boss/Skipper (Forest Tucker); Idiot trail hand/Gilligan (Bob Denver); rich couple, smart guy, dance-hall girl, sweet other girl... Even when I was a kid it was stupider than Gilligan’s Island.
Sounds as bad as the cartoon Gilligan’s Planet.
Ghostbusters Take Geritol.
Harold Ramis is dead already, the others are on Medicare.
Maybe the Ghostbusters try to find Ramis?
Ghostbusters get hair implants?
No doubt Viagra will play a big part.....
Actually the reboot made a lot of money. One of the top grossing comedies of the year. Problem is they thought it was going to anchor a new Cinematic Universe and spent Marvel Money on it, thus dooming it to have no hope of profitability. If they’d spent wisely it would already have a sequel coming out.
Lori Saunders was in Petticoat Junction as well.
The middle one.

Belushi was slated to be Venkman. Murray agreed to do it after Belushi died.
Seriously, no new ideas from Hollyweird.
Haha. Guess she doesn’t know about the original movies.
