The word is that there is a "Ghostbusters" movie in the works, but this time it is not about the all-female ghostbusters reboot that casts Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. According to several news sources, Sony Pictures Animation is working on an animated "Ghostbusters" movie.
According to The Tracking Board, which is said to be the first to report about the "Ghostbusters" movie, the project is being produced by Reitman and Tom Pollock through Montecito Pictures and Belson and Ali Bell overseeing for.
According to TheWrap, even after a representative from Sony has declared that there is no such project, there are other insiders from the studio who are saying otherwise and that indeed a movie project is in progress. Ivan Reitman reportedly will produce the "Ghostbusters" while contrary to what The Tracking Board is saying. In addition, it was also reported that the story will be told from ghost's point of view.
Currently, those stories have yet to be confirmed and there are no screenwriters yet but unlike Paul Feig's female-centric "Ghostbusters", which is now in post-production, the animated movie is rumored to be more like the original and will feature a group of scientists battling supernatural forces. Recently, Reitman reportedly said in a statement to 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."
