‘Ghostbusters 3’ Script Approved, Engine Turned On?
My brain hurts from all of this Ghostbusters 3 talk. I almost wish we wouldn’t hear anything until it’s officially announced. The last we heard star Dan Aykroyd was rewriting the screenplay alongside Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, but thanks to Rome’s Ghostbusters Day 2010 (October 9th), there’s news that Sony has approved the screenplay. How trustworthy is the source? I dunno. The news comes courtesy of Ghostbusters Italia who was on hand where Mr. Stefano Paganini, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment PM Catalogue, Animation and TV series, had this to say: “I spoke about this night with my boss from Los Angeles. She allowed me to let you know that the script of ‘Ghostbusters 3’ has been approved so the engine has been turned on!” Pieced together over the years, Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis, Sigourney Weaver all return to star, and Ivan Reitman will direct.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
