We are one year out from the Ghostbusters remake/reboot/re-something in 2016 that inspired a whole new generation of fans… and internet trolls. But wherever you stand on the comedy which starred Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones, it clearly didn’t set the box office on fire. Be that as it may, Ivan Reitman, who produced the movie and directed a little 1984 picture also called Ghostbusters, is far from undaunted.
While stepping foot inside of San Diego Comic-Con for a Ghostbusters panel of biblical proportions, he had much to say about the future of the brand. There to help promote several new Ghostbusters comics series from IDW Publishing, Reitman talked pretty openly about the future of Ghostbusters movies at Sony Pictures and their newly minted Ghost Corps subsidiary.
More acutely, Reitman confirmed that not only is the Ghostbusters animated movie still on, but that they have a story they like that will be told primarily from the ghosts’ perspective.
“I think we have wonderful plans, both for an animated feature that we’re deep in design on already and a really great story,” Reitman said to audience cheers. “That’s going to surprise everybody, I think, when it comes out. And we’re dealing with Ghost World quite a lot. We’re looking at the film from a ghost point-of-view, and the Ghostbusters from a ghost point-of-view. I think that would be something very interesting for you. And of course a new live-action film.” He also suggested that while he does not see Slimer having as prominent a role in any new film as he did in The Real Ghostbusters cartoon, Reitman teased the lead ghost in the new animated film would wind up joining the team of Ghostbusters.
“The studio is going to try to tie one of the new films close to that date,” Reitman sheepishly confided later in the panel.
