How Many New Ghostbusters Movies Are There Going To Be?
With the “revival” of Ghostbusters fully underway, people are starting to wonder just how good it’ll be. More than that, there’s questions of whether the rumors of both the all-female team film, and one with an all-male team, are true. To help quell this (for now), the producer for the reboot movie Ivan Reitman released a statement saying the following (via Entertainment Weekly):
“There has been a lot of excitement recently about what is happening with the Ghostbusters franchise. As the producer of the new Ghostbusters film, I feel the need to clarify. There is only one new Ghostbusters movie and that is the Paul Feig directed version coming next July, presently filming and going fantastically. The rest is just noise.”
This is interesting because the screenwriter for the reboot Drew Pearce said otherwise. However, he did say on Twitter:
“For the record, my GB idea has a mixed gender team. Also ghosts of all classes (I to VII). It’s very inclusive that way.” He added in a separate Tweet, “Also, I’ve only written a bible (because I have to go off and direct my own stuff). No script yet. So news cycle: CHILL YOUR BOOTS.”
So who is right? Hard to say, but the next Ghostbusters movie may decide the fate of all such projects. It’ll hit theaters on June 22nd, 2016
