Who Ya Gonna Call? Ivan Reitman!
Fri, October 9, 2009 
Hey look! It’s Ghostbusters 3 news that doesn’t involve Dan Aykroyd talking about them “waiting for the script.” I know! I was surprised to read that too.
Bloody-Disgusting has received word that Ivan Reitman (who directed the much-beloved Ghostbusters and its not-so-well-regarded sequel) is now attached to return to the director’s chair for the third go-around. Although they’re also quick to point out he’s yet to fully decide that he wants the gig. I realize some might shrug their shoulders and go, “Uh, this is news?”
Well true-believer (That’s right, I’m referencing Stan Lee in a Ghostbusters article. Eat me!), he was said to have zero involvement with the property for the longest time. Most of us thought Harold Ramis would ultimately take the reign. Then again, he just directed Year One for Sony and that was one of the biggest flops of this past summer. Perhaps the studio wasn’t 100% confident in him handling what could possibly be a $200 million production.
The good folks over at the site have also confirmed the starting point of the film. The guys “reopen” their business after years out of service. Sure, everyone assumed it would be about that. But it’s nice to get some confirmation.
Now let’s just see if Ghostbusters 3 actually happens…

I'm glad to hear this. Now, if they can come up with a story on the level of the first one.
