Next ‘Ghostbusters’ To Shoot In 2015, Ivan Reitman Won’t Direct

Briefly: The next Ghostbusters is finally, finally, finally happening… soon.

Deadline reports that Sony Pictures is set to start production of the film in early 2015, and that following the death of Harold Ramis, Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II director Ivan Reitman has decided not to direct the feature. Instead, he and Sony Pictures chairman Amy Pascal will hunt for a new director for the film.

In speaking to Deadline, Reitman stated that “There has been all kinds of stuff, unofficially written aboutGhostbusters. I’ve been reading things online for about four years, speculation on who’s writing, what they’re writing, who’s in it, who we will use, and who’s directing. We’d decided not to comment up till now, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, and it was never clear what Bill was going to do. A lot of things happened in the last few months, the most significant of which was the passing of Harold, who was a very good friend who was extraordinarily influential in my career. We did five movies together including both Ghostbusters.”

You can head to Deadline for Reitman’s full statement, but be sure to let us know who you would like to see direct the film. Can you believe that after all of these years, we’re going to get another Ghostbusters?
