It’s official: another Ghostbusters movie is on the way next year.
Jason Reitman, who is the son of the original film’s director Ivan Reitman as well as a filmmaker in his own right (Juno, Up In The Air), was announced as the director of the project. It’s been kept a closely guarded secret at Sony for some time.
This is especially surprising considering that the Ghostbusters franchise was widely believed to have been brutally murdered in cold blood by political correctness in 2015.
Sony killed Ghostbusters. I love the four women playing the leads-but i will not see this movie.

Stop replacing men for women in already established films. Make your own classics. It's just robbery ?— Jordan Kennedy (@jordanjhkennedy) April 14, 2018
Ghostbusters have never been women! Another movie ruined!

They've completely ruined Ghostbusters now that it's women.

I'm not a sexist individual but you CANNOT remake Ghostbusters with an all female cast.. It will literally ruin what was such a classic film

Unlike the 2016 reboot, the new film will be a sequel set in the original universe of the first and second films.
Broflakes might be breathing easier thinking that their precious childhoods are going to be retrospectively un-ruined.
But there’s nothing – absolutely nothing – in these latest reports suggesting that it’s going to be all dudes pulling on the jumpsuits again. It could be the cast of Ocean’s 8 plus Bill Murray for all we know.
Actually, I’d see the s**t out of that. Rihanna, Awkwafina and lesbian Cate Blanchett can ruin my childhood any day.
