‘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.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
