Dan Aykroyd Confirms That He’ll Be Appearing in ‘Ghostbusters 2020’
We still don’t quite know how exactly Jason Reitman‘s Ghostbusters 2020 will connect to the original movie, and we also can’t be sure which original stars will be back. We have heard, however, that Sigourney Weaver is set to reprise the role of Dana Barrett. And in a new chat with Joe Rogan, producer Dan Aykroyd confirms that he’ll also be back as Ray Stantz!
“I’m not in the pictures so much anymore. We’ve got the Ghostbusters movie that we’re working on now and I will have to be performing in that,” Aykroyd told Rogan.
He continued, “Ivan Reitman’s son Jason has written a new movie… the third movie. It will be all… most of the original people and then young stars.”
Aykroyd also says he’s “hoping” that Bill Murray will be along for the ride.
The new film, a sequel to the original classic, centers on a family that moves back home to a small town where they learn more about who they are.
The new cast includes Paul Rudd, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Carrie Coon, Celeste O’Connor and Logan Kim.
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.
