Paul Rudd is in final negotiations to join Sony's latest installment of "Ghostbusters."
The announcement will be made shortly at the Ghostbusters Fan Fest, presented by Wizard World, on the Sony Pictures lot.
Sources tell Variety Rudd will play a teacher in the film.
Jason Reitman, whose father Ivan Reitman directed the original "Ghostbusters," will step into the director's chair. He co-wrote the screenplay with Gil Kenan and plans to shoot the film later this summer. "Ghostbusters 2020" is expected to hit theaters in summer of next year.
