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.

[Moppeh]

Just put Paul Rudd in everything.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

I mean I guess. Just depends on the script. That's where the 2016 one failed.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Ghostbusters 2020 makes it sound like they're running for office.

 

[Deception]

More Paul Rudd is never a bad thing.

 

[Deleted member 54320]

Rudd is a very satisfying word to say. Go on, say it.

You'll see.

I'm ok with this

 

[henlo_birb]

It feels too soon.

 

[PhilosopherDirtBike]

Very mad that they seem determined to make me go see this movie by casting everyone I like in it

 

[Deleted member 9135]

Awesome. Never knew I wanted this until now. He captures what made the original four so endearing.

 

[Joshua]

This is a good casting decision!

 

[IDreamOfHime]

Thor's gonna be mad.

Nice

 

[itwasTuesday]

Make him an epa agent.

 

[Indiana Jones]

Paul Rudd is a national treasure. My interest in this movie just shot up.

 

[GasProblem]

Yesss, love Paul Rudd!

 

[chrisPjelly]

 

[waffleboy]

Ok now fire Reitman and get David Wain to direct

 

[HaL64]

Yes he can be Wally Wick Jr.

 

[poptire]

Rudd is doing his best JABLINSKI GAMES impression in that video

 

[Uzumaki Goku]

It's nice that we're doing this but couldn't we have done this while Harold Ramis was still alive?

I'd vote for any of them over what we have. Even Slimer.

I mean...that's not an option. Would have been nice, but you can't go back in time.

 

[CrazyAndy]

Awesome. Paul is great.

 

[Aztechnology]

Now that's a Tayne I can get into

 

[Wein Cruz]

And with that they have successfully made a better movie than GB2016

 

[Anoregon]

Can't wait for him to show the trailer to Conan.

 

[ThatRebel]

I had forgotten they were making another Ghostbusters like this but I'm hype now. Paul Rudd is great. I'm probably one of the few people that wishes they would do a sequel to the last one though. Was it as great as the original two? No, but I laughed and enjoyed it for what it was.

 

[airbagged_]

Wow... he's ALL IN

 

[FullMetalTech]

More Paul Rudd is always a good thing. Cant wait.

 

[Komo]

It's already better.

 

[davepoobond]

This is the one with the male cast or a sequel to the female one?

Hope Paul feig stays away from this

 

[P-Bo]

Definitely interested now--freakin' love Paul Rudd

 

[Kitten Mittens]

If I remember right, neither. It's about a family who has ties to someone from the original movies.

 

[Deleted member 11182]

McCarthy was a good idea also but the movie sucked. It amazes me when studios are still having so much trouble putting some wit and freshness into their films.

This is as close to throwing shit at a wall and hoping something sticks that I could find:

Click to shrink...

Yup. The actors tried their best to save that turd of a script.

 

[ZeoVGM]

They should just call this Ghostbusters 3 if they want to get across the fact that it's a true sequel to the originals.

 

[Mariolee]

Read that as Paul Feig at first.

 

[Ryaaan14]

He's a perfect fit. Awesome

 

[Deleted member 4260]

hated the last movie but I love Paul Rudd. Conflicted...

 

[Deleted member 6730]

Obligatory

 

[Owarifin]

Wonder if he'll be the new Akroyd/Ray type character or more of a new Moranis/Louis...

 

[Captjohnboyd]

So he's gonna be someones dad right? Isn't this about kid Ghostbusters? He's totally going to be someones dad

 

[Kito]

Is this movie going to pretend the last one didn't exist?

It has no relation to the last movie, so that's a start.
