Shameless Vindication: New Ghostbusters is Official
no images were found
You may recall that we posted something about a new Ghostbusters movie a while back…a post that was derided by any number of other websites as being b.s.? Well, the new Ghostbusters movie is official, as Hollywood Reporter has put up a blurb on it, even confirming that some original cast & crew are involved:
The original filmmakers, including director Ivan Reitman, and cast are aware of the project and involved in its development. Some original cast members might be involved, but the focus will be on a new cast of Ghostbusters.
While this doesn’t all-out confirm what we were told by studio insiders, at least you know we didn’t make up the whole thing.
Nanny nanny boo boo.

the only official thing is that two writers are writing the script.
no word about reitman, the original cast, hellbent or not, younger crop of GBs.
So, gb3 is not official.

That’s not really true…here are some quotes from the HR piece (that you seemed to not read):
“The original filmmakers, including director Ivan Reitman, and cast are aware of the project and involved in its development. Some original cast members might be involved, but the focus will be on a new cast of Ghostbusters.
(I added the bold for emphasis)
But as you can see, Reitman is specifically mentioned as being aware AND involved, and also specifically mentioned is the “new cast of Ghostbusters.”

original cast members MIGHT be involved. we’ll know it when the script will be ready. then it will be read by the cast members ad then sony will decide if greenlight the movie or not (and i hope for a big yes!!)
harold ramis said that the idea currently is a new gb team and the older gbs as mentors but we don’t know it for sure.
a script being written is not a movie being made.

The previous rumor your reported on have not been made factual based on this new news. It was also debunked by Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd.

I was specifically referring to the fact that people were telling us that there was no way a new Ghostbusters would be made with any of the old cast & crew. The fact that the script is being written and original crew, including Reitman, are involved confirms that the project is in fact real and moving forward.
