‘Ghostbusters: Beyond’ signs the director of the sequel, which will star Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon

Aside from the release date, set for December 20, 2023Little else was known about the sequel to ‘Ghostbusters: Beyond’, a continuation of the film that ignited the character of Harold Ramis in style laying the foundations for a renewed future for the saga.

Within these expansion plans is an animated film and an animated series that we would see on Netflix. But the crown jewel would undoubtedly be the next installment of ‘Beyond’ which would see the return of the entire cast, including Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon..

At least that’s what Deadline says exclusively, the American medium announcing the start of pre-production at Sony, the studio in charge of developing the stories set in this phantasmagoric universe. This website also anticipates who would be in charge of the film by insuring it Gil Kenan would go from being a writer and executive producer of ‘Beyond’ to directing the next film. In turn Jason Reitman, director of the previous episode, he would continue to handle production and script roles, a script he would co-write with Kenan. Thus the team that worked enormously to close the classical stage by introducing a new generation of ghostbusters, returns with the aforementioned dance in the creative positions.

“It’s an absolute honor to hang my proton pack on me and get behind the camera in the next chapter in the Spengler family saga”says Kenan, referring to that character-driven relief of Mckenna Grace, granddaughter of the original Ghostbuster, Egon Spengler. “I wish I could go back to 1984 and tell the guy in the sixth row at Mann Valley West that he was going to direct a ‘Ghostbusters’ movie someday”.

supernatural success

Following in the footsteps of his father, Ivan Reitman, the late director who was tasked with directing the original film in the saga, ‘Ghostbusters’; Jason Reitman embarked on the adventure of revitalizing the franchise at the hands of Gil Kenan and that mix of nostalgia and a new chapter that is “Ghostbusters: Beyond”. Both were successful because the film, released as the worst of the pandemic was winding down, grossed $44 million in its opening weekend, a figure that ended up rising to more than $200 million worldwide by the end of its theatrical run.

After this, Sony understandably decided to give everything for ‘Ghostbusters’ which led to the development of the sequel. “Last we saw the Ecto-1 he was returning to Manhattan: the house of the Ghostbusters. This is where our story begins. The working title is FIREHOUSE”advanced a very excited Reitman with the possibilities. “Across games, comics, TV and film, we will tell the untold story of Ghostbusters as we approach a future with characters fans don’t know and places we haven’t been”.
