Ivan Reitman Confirms GHOSTBUSTERS 3 On His Plate

It’s time to extend that practical joke the cast and crew of GHOST BUSTERS and GHOSTBUSTERS 2 are all playing on Dan Aykroyd.   Reitman spoke with MTV at the National Board of Review red carpet and confirmed that he would be stepping in as director of the third GHOSTBUSTERS film.

Talking about screenwriters Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, Reitman had this to say about the stage of the screenplay:

They have delivered a draft.   We are working our way through another draft… good work is being done and all of us have our fingers crossed.

The goal is for production to begin later this year for a release sometime in 2011.

What do you think about the project now?   Is Reitman the right choice to step back in and direct this film?   Would you rather have seen his son, Jason, step up to take the helm?   What kind of GHOSTBUSTERS story would you like to see for the third go around?   Let us know by shooting us a comment below!
