‘Ghostbusters 3’ Set To Film Summer Of 2013

Well, it looks like Ghostbusters 3 will finally start shooting next year after spending plenty of time in what appeared to be a major development hell. Honestly, I was pretty sure the movie would never even see the light of day. Deadline reported on Paramount putting director Ivan Reitman’s Draft Day in turnaround. But also hidden inside the article there’s a little something interesting to take note of:

“Paramount chose not to make it in the small window that Reitman has before he is expected to finally get the long-gestating Ghostbusters reboot in front of the cameras next summer for Sony Pictures (sans Bill Murray). … It would be tough to find room to squeeze in the football film and get done before Reitman goes back to Ghostbusters duty. Paramount insiders tell me that if the film can’t happen in this nearly impossibly short window, the studio could simply hang on to Draft Day, and make it after Reitman and Costner finish their obligations.”

Well, now that they’ve finally given up on Bill Murray it appears that the long talked about movie will finally begin getting underway. Does Sony have a date planned for the threequel? Should we also expect to hear some casting soon? Well, maybe we should wait until they officially announce this one to get too excited here.
