The Keymaster outside of the Hook & Ladder 8.
Upon first glance this Deadline exclusive may look like it's about Ivan Reitman and Kevin Costner's Draft Day, but really it's about how Ghostbusters III is happening, and soon.
We've been hearing about the possibility of this movie since 2008, when it looked like it was going to get a bromance twist with rumors that Seth Rogan and Judd Apatow were attached. Since then Dan Aykroyd confirmed the movie would happen; Bill Murray allegedly shredded the script and declared: "No one wants to pay money to see fat, old men chasing ghosts!"... and finally, Aykroyd was said to be re-casting Murray's part.
The Deadline report states that "Paramount chose not to make [Draft Day] in the small window that Reitman has before he is expected to finally get the long-gestating Ghostbusters reboot in front of the cameras next summer for Sony Pictures (sans Bill Murray)." So the next question is, will it film in NYC (like at least some of the original did)?
