There’s still more life in the Ghostbusters franchise and Sony is looking to bring it to the big screen. The studio announced that they are currently in active development on a sequel to last year’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife<\/strong> during their presentation at CinemaCon yesterday.<\/p>\n

No other details beyond the fact that the studio had the project in development were forthcoming, though it is probably a safe bet that Ghostbusters<\/strong> creator Dan Aykroyd will be involved in some capacity. Also highly likely to be involved is Jason Reitman, son of the original film’s director and director and co-writer of Ghostbusters: Afterlife<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That the studio would be working on a sequel to Afterlife <\/strong>is no surprise. The film was made for a modest $75 million budget and pulled in $197 million at the worldwide box office, with ancillary streaming and home video revenue pushing it further into the black. The film reunited original Ghostbusters<\/strong> stars Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts with newcomers Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd, Finn Wolfhard, and Carrie Coon.<\/p>\n

Ghostbusters<\/strong> has been a high priority for the studio since they established the Ghost Corps production banner in-house to develop the franchise. Since then, Ghost Corps has overseen the 2016 Paul Feig-directed Ghostbusters<\/strong> reboot which starred Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones as the four paranormal removal experts in a story that took place in a separate continuity from the original first Ghostbusters<\/strong> films and Afterlife<\/strong>. Other projects have have been rumored to be in development by Ghost Corps including a male-led franchise reboot<\/a> and an animated feature film<\/a> and an Aykroyd-penned prequel<\/a> film. The status of those projects is unknown, though it is possible that one or more than one of them may be dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
