It's being reported that Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directors of The Lego Movie, are in talks to helm the next Ghostbusters film.
Love or hate the idea of the apparently unstoppable Ghosbusters 3, or reboot, or remake, or whatever Sony Pictures has up its sleeve, another Ghostbusters film seems to be coming. And they’re at least being savvy enough to know who they’re gonna’ call: Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
The two cheeky filmmakers who brought back another relic of the 1980s with much affection and mockery in 2012’s comedy hit 21 Jump Street, which has a sequel out later this year, and who dealt with almost every other Gen-X icon in last month’s shockingly great The Lego Movie, seem like smart choices. And Sony would agree, according to Nikke Finke’s Twitter account. Normally, we don’t run stories from unnamed sources, however Finke, the founder of Deadline, has made a career out of breaking legitimate news well before the PR departments have their statements in a row. So, this has more than a ghost of a chance at materializing.
What do you think? Is Ghostubsters one more brand that Lord and Miller should set their porton packs on?
