Stop Whining: An All-Male ‘Ghostbusters’ Is Also In The Works

Briefly: You can stop whining about the all-female Ghostbusters now, jerks.

Deadline has learned that Sony has formed “Ghostcorps, a new production company whose principals include original Ghostbusters architects Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd; they will have offices at Sony with the mission to scare up branding opportunities based on the 1984 comedy classic.”

Yep, so we’re getting another Ghostbusters film to go with Paul Feig’s 2016 reboot (which hasn’t even started production yet).

Community and Captain America: The Winter Soldiers directors Joe and Anthony Russo will helm the film, while Iron Man 3 (ugh) writer Drew Pierce will write the script.

Apparently, Channing Tatum is one of the producers on the film, and will likely star (since he’s so good at launching franchises).

“We want to expand the Ghostbusters universe in ways that will include different films, TV shows, merchandise, all things that are part of modern filmed entertainment,” Reitman told Deadline. “This is a branded entertainment, a scary supernatural premise mixed with comedy. Paul Feig’s film will be the first version of that, shooting in June to come out in July 2016. He’s got four of the funniest women in the world, and there will be other surprises to come. The second film has a wonderful idea that builds on that. Drew will start writing and the hope is to be ready for the Russo Brothers’ next window next summer to shoot, with the movie coming out the following year. It’s just the beginning of what I hope will be a lot of wonderful movies.”

So, after not having a Ghostbusters film in over 25 years, the market sounds like it could be pretty saturated, pretty quickly.

Are you down for even more Ghostbusters? Or was one reboot enough? Sound out below!
