Ivan Reitman Confirmed for GHOSTBUSTERS 3, But For What?

Sometimes, a bit of news comes along of which you’re not quite sure what to make.  According to Bloody Disgusting, Ivan Reitman, director of GHOST BUSTERS and GHOSTBUSTERS 2, is confirmed for GHOSTBUSTERS 3.  It’s probably just better to run some quotes here rather than try to explain his role in the film.

have straight up confirmed, 100%, without a shadow of a doubt that Ivan Reitman, director of Ghost Busters and Ghostbusters II, is in fact attached to get behind the camera for GHOSTBUSTERS 3. While he’s attached, the word is that he hasn’t decided whether or not he really wants to direct, yet.

Does this mean Reitman may be stepping into the role of director of photography on the film with someone else serving as director?  If so, it would be Reitman’s first time acting as cinematographer since the 1969, X-rated THE COLUMBUS OF SEX.

Bloody Disgusting also conjured up a synopsis on the new GHOSTBUSTERS film.  Evidently, it will take place years after the Ghost Busters headquarters has been shut down.  The film would deal with a new threat that forces the paranormal investigators to reopen their doors.

As confirmed throughout the years of the film’s gestation, all principal players will be returning.
