Ghostbusters 3 Director Fires Back

Ghostbusters 3 is in danger of not getting off the ground due to a beef between director van Reitman who directed the first two films in the series and Sony films. According to the New Yorker: “The studio’s strategy is to revitalize the franchise for next year by having the original ‘busters train a dramatically younger crew in Ghostbusters 3, while a correspondingly younger director handles things behind the camera. However, Reitman’s old contract – made at the height of his and Ovitz’s powers – still gives him exceptional creative control over the series, including director approval. “Those deals were made in the eighties,” explains one insider. “So his rights in this circumstance have a great deal of teeth.” Therefore, while it’s true that Reitman can’t force Columbia to make Ghostbusters 3 with him, he can make it nearly impossible for the studio to make the film without him.”

Looks like it might be awhile before GB3 takes flight…. That sucks for all us fans out there.

So in the mean time, get your GB fix and read mine!
