In a shocking twist of events (pause for sarcasm to sink in) Ivan Reitman has announced that he will be directing the new Ghostbusters movie. So what started off as a relaunch has turned into a full fledged sequel to a sequel that sucked ass to begin with. Look we all love the Ghostbusters, but does anyone not into Grannie Porn want to 60 year old Peter Venkman using the same lame pick up lines to try and coax a 60 year Dana Barrett into bed again. Blah.
Reitman said that the script from "Year One" writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky is in and that a second draft is currently in the works. He also confirmed that he will indeed be returning to direct the coming sequel, as had been previously speculated.
"They havedelivered a draft," Reitman said of the script's progress. "We are working our way through another draft... good work is being done and all of us have our fingers crossed."
What he wouldn't do was address exactly what that "good work" entailed. Asked about Weaver's recent comments, Reitman laughed and kept things light.
"I'm not going to comment on what's in the script and on what Sigourney may or may not have said," he told us. "She's been so busy on 'Avatar,' I've not been able to find her. There's some very cool things in the new draft, let's just put it that way."
