Sigourney Weaver Confirms She’s Reprising the Role of Dana Barrett in Jason Reitman’s ‘Ghostbusters’!
It had been rumored for months but in a new chat with Parade, Sigourney Weaver has confirmed that she’ll be back in Jason Reitman‘s Ghostbusters, which begins filming soon!
“It’s going to be crazy working with the guys again!” Weaver told Parade, with the site adding that she’ll be reprising the role of Dana Barrett in next year’s sequel to the original.
“Working with the guys again“… eh?
Yes, the site notes that Weaver will be reuniting with Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd in Reitman’s movie, who had also been rumored to star. Sounds like confirmation, doesn’t it?!
Finn Wolfhard (“Stranger Things,” IT), Mckenna Grace (Captain Marvel) and Carrie Coon (Widows) are thus far attached to star in the new film…
“A family moves back home to a small town where they learn more about who they are.”
Reitman co-wrote the script with Gil Kenan.
Ghostbusters will return to theaters on July 10, 2020.
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.
