Rural Ghostbusters?

16 Comments

The 2016 Ghostbusters reboot from Sony wasn't what fans had hoped for. Although it had a solid cast and writing team behind it, many felt like it missed the mark. However, another Ghostbusters movie has been secretly in the works, and is headed our way in 2020, and it will be set in the world of the original Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989). It is being written and directed by none other than Jason Reitman (Up In The Air, Juno), son of original Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman.

A teaser video for next year's film, which has been worked on in secret, was revealed to Entertainment Weekly, and while the video is short, it does give us some idea as to what this movie may be about. You can check it out for yourself above.

Now Playing: Ghostbusters - Official Teaser Trailer

We see a lonely barn in the middle of the night, and there's a light coming from inside of it. We zoom in on the barn, and there are some familiar sounds, including that classic Ghostbusters' score. There's something under a tarp, and the wind blows it off revealing a beaten up and tad rusty Ecto-1.

What's going on here? Reitman explains, just from this teaser, what we can expect. "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."

Did the Ghostbusters have a fall from grace or have there simply been no more ghosts in the world since the team gooed-up the Statue of Liberty? And who is the person in the barn with the Ecto-1 under a tarp? Sadly, we won't know any real answers until sometime in 2020 when the next chapter in the Ghostbusters franchise comes to theaters.
