A New ‘Ghostbusters’ Film Based On The OG Is In The Works

Source: WENN.com / WENN Two years after the Ghostbusters franchise got a reboot with the all-female cast starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon, it looks like Hollywood is once again giving the franchise another sequel set in the same universe as the 80’s original. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Jason Reitman (Juno, Tully) has been tapped to write and direct the untitled Ghostbusters sequel which will follow the events that happened in the OG Ghostbusters film that was directed by his father, Ivan Reitman. “I’ve always thought of myself as the first Ghostbusters fan, when I was a 6-year-old visiting the set. I wanted to make a movie for all the other fans,” Reitman says. “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day.” Sounds good to us. Though the 2016 reboot featured the likes of OG Ghostbusters Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson, they obviously weren’t the same characters they were when they were hunting ghosts with proton packs and inverted traps. Not to mention fans weren’t too happy with the reboot featuring an all-female cast because, well, sexism. And though the 2016 version was actually pretty cool, Reitman doesn’t intend on connecting his project with the Paul Feig directed project. “I have so much respect for what Paul created with those brilliant actresses, and would love to see more stories from them. However, this new movie will follow the trajectory of the original film,” Reitman says. We ain’t mad at that. We just hope Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd and Ernie Hudson suit up one last time in the film. R.I.P. Harold Ramis. Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters is slated for a summer 2020 release.

Since coming out that they were supporting Kaepernick they’ve made $6 billion.

Katt Williams and Kevin Hart have been going back and forth after Williams said some things about Tiffany Haddish . Leslie mentioned that neither of the men supported her at the time when she was trying to get put on. Jeff believes the best part about putting people on is seeing the talent you’ve invested in and not making an announcement about it.

Sexists, Pervs And Racists: Luenell BLASTS Lionsgate For Slighting Her, Kevin Hart, Katt Williams, Tiffany Haddish And Nick Cannon

(Photo by John Lamparski/Getty Images) Luenell Gives Her Take On What’s REALLY Wrong With Black Comedy Comedy veteran Luenell is giving her take in this comedy beef , and she wants everyone to know their true enemy! Recently, things got intense when Kevin Hart went HARD on Katt Williams  for shadingTiffany Haddish in an interview (to big up other Black women in comedy). Luenell thinks they should ALL stop beefing, because it’s the studios not giving Black comedians — especially Black funny women, opportunities. Luenell says that she, Kevin Hart, Katt Williams, Mike Epps and Tiffany Haddish all starred in a movie called “School Dance”, written and produced by Nick Cannon and Lionsgate PLAYED them all. The movie was never released in theaters, because Lionsgate was finicky. Also, the actors were NEVER PAID. Let’s fix this bullsh*t & quit playin’ b 4 somebody get Hurt around this b*tch! Actually we ALL got f**ked on This deal, Nick included. This should have been released n theaters All Across the Country! A Blockbuster is what it would have been but Nooooooo, Lionsgate dropped the ball, didn’t have Faith n us, this project and NOBODY got paid! F we’re going to fight let’s fight with the motherf**kers who go up in us on a regular basis! The damn Anglo, Male, Pervy, Sexist, Racist STUDIOS not each Other! F we r going to b*tch and point fingers, let’s point them n the right direction! I’m not Scared, maybe everybody Else is but not This Oakland bred bitch! Now, as my friend Peacock says, “Let THAT b the reason”. “School Dance” sounds like a good movie, with a funny, stack cast — right?!! Lionsgate is super shady…smh. Yesterday, we exclusively reported Leslie Jones’ take on this feud in Black comedy , and she said “both Kevin and Katt was the same to women like all these ni**as in this game. Sh*tty. and still is. Women have never had it good.” Hopefully this conversation surrounding Black women in comedy reaches the right parties! What is your take on what Luenell has to say on the issue versus Leslie’s thoughts?

Exclusive: Leslie Jones Says F*ck Kevin Hart & Katt Williams; “Keep Your Mouth Closed Unless You’re Using It To Eat My P****”

WENN.com Leslie Jones Had This To Say About Kevin Hart & Katt Williams Beef The comedians have more beef than the rappers these days! On Friday, Kevin Hart ripped Katt Williams a new one on the Breakfast Club, regarding his comments about Tiffany Haddish’s career . In the same interview, Kev claimed Leslie Jones was one of the many female comedians he put on. But the SNL star says issa lie! Less Dogg spoke to a Bossip source bout both Kevin and Katt claiming they’re the reason behind her and other female comedian’s success — and sis was not here for it: Real talk both of them ni**as need to keep my name out they mouth unless they using it to eat my p***y REAL TALK!! None of those ni**as put me on or any woman. While he talking about Katt what did he do to put women on he didn’t help females they wasn’t on his tour F*CK THAT NI**A!! At least Katt put me on his tour. Kevin could have put me on a long time ago but he never respected me or my comedy and trust I can call his card he know I can. Both Kevin and Katt was the same to women like all these ni**as in this game. Sh*tty. and still is. Women have never had it good. At least Katt put women on his tour or shows. How many shows back in the day didn’t have a woman on them. Kevin that mf told me one time I would never make it. Oop! That’s not all. Leslie says it was actually Chris Rock who put her on, and even then she still had to grind: So I’m calling all cards I ain’t got to lie I made it without either one of them. Chris rock was the one who put Me on and Neal Brennan a WHITE comic/writer. Not them!! And I still had To work my f***ing ass off to make it happen!! So nobody is telling the truth! everyone need to shut the f*ck up!! Before I tell whats really real!! And they all know I know. I haven’t said shit about anyone and if I do I keep it real and respectful and honest. What’s upsetting me is anybody SAYING ANYTHING!! Shut the f*ck up and do your f***ing job cause this ain’t it. While y’all on columns downing each other and lying on each other no one is telling jokes. SHUT UP AND DO YOUR F***NG JOB!! Keep my name out your mouth I dont talk about any of you!! Kevin was pissed, but Leslie Jones is seething, honey. Who gets the last laugh though?
