Not a fan of the trailer for Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters?
Maybe the animated film will be more up your alley!
Fletcher Moules, the rising animator and helmer behind the hugely popular “Clash of Clans” commercial spots (see below), has signed on to direct the animated Ghostbusters film for Sony Pictures Animation, reports Heat Vision.
Ivan Reitman, co-creator of Ghostbusters and one of the stewards of the franchise, would act as one of the producers.
Even bigger news from the site who is reporting that Sony is betting big with Ghostbusters. Apart from the new movie, which opens in July, the studio created the Ghost Corps, a collective with Reitman and Dan Aykroyd, to head up the expansion of the franchise and to create a Ghostbusters cinematic universe.
The studio is already in development on a movie that would potentially star Channing Tatum with Joe and Anthony Russo, the duo behind Captain America: The Winter Soldier, to produce and direct it.
DiC Enterprises produced “The Real Ghostbusters ” that ran from 1986 to 1991 and continued the adventures of Venkman, Spengler, Stantz, Zeddmore and Slimer.
The “Extreme Ghostbusters” animated series, which is a followup to the “Real Ghostbusters,” is now streaming on Hulu.
