Who you gonna call? Ghosbusters. And if you think one movie isn't enough the Sony is giving you what you want. According to Deadline Sony is planning a shared universe a la Marvel with different Ghostbuster films, TV shows, and books. A division at Sony was formed called Ghostcorps which will oversee the entire Ghostbuster franchise. The primary members of Ghostcorps are Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd two of the original Ghostbusters.
Of course first up is the already announced all female ghostbusters team that includes Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy that will be directed by Paul Feig. The surprising part of the new announcement is that another ghostbusters movie is in the works. This one rumored to be directed by the Russo brothers who made a big splash with Captain America: The Winter Soldier and will directing the sequel the much anticipated Captain America: Civil War. Also with a Marvel Background the movie is reportedly being written by Drew Pearce who wrote Iron Man 3. But the biggest news is probably that this will have a male cast. Channing Tatum is helping produce the film and it is assumed he will be in the movie as one of the ghostbusters and another name that has been mentioned is Chris Pratt (also from the Marvel Universe) who seems to be in talks to be in every major franchise. Will this one be an all male team? Hard to say since there is no script and only two rumored actors but that is what a lot of people is taking this as. How will the two films be connected? No one is really sure yet but it will be interesting if they can pull both movies off. Just odd for a spin off to be announced before the first one has already come out. Or will the two movies be him and her Ghostbuster films? Let us know your thoughts.
