We posted a couple of days ago a story of Ivan Reitman addressing the rumours surrounding Ghostbusters III, particularly after the sad passing of Harold Ramis. He mentioned in that interview some of the proposed plot ideas and now in while talking to CraveOnline, the Groundhog Day director talked more about the movie.
When asked if the movie would be filmed in 3D, “Certainly there’s been a lot of talk about doing Ghostbusters 3 in 3D as well, and I don’t think we’ll call it Ghostbusters 3 either.”
So, if they’re not calling it Ghostbuters III, does that mean the movie is a reboot? “It’s not a reboot,” Reitman said. “It just lives in a world where the first two movies did occur and those characters were there and at least some of them will be in this film, but it’s really a different story.”
Reitman also confirmed that the original script for Ghostbusters III did feature a cameo from the late Harold Ramis but wouldn’t say if we would see a female Ghostbuster in the movie simply stating, “l have no comment”.
In the interview he also talks about Space Jam 2, the Twins sequel Triplets, and the Michael Jackson biopic he’s working on. Regarding the casting of the King of Pop, Reitman said, “It’s not going to be easy, I can tell you that.”
We’ll have more news on Ghostbusters III as and when it comes.
