Friday, January 7, 2011 at 6:45PM Ivan Reitman Says Most 'Ghostbusters 3' Reports Are "Not Accurate"

Over the last couple of years, it seems as though Ghostbusters 3 has become the most talked about film without anything "real" being said about it. Other than the project officially getting writers (Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg) and Ivan Reitman (director of the first film) signing on to direct, we've gotten nothing but speculation. A lot of which has even come from those directly involved in the franchise itself.
But now, Reitman, someone who with his position we surprisingly haven't heard much from yet, has finally made his voice known. In an interview with CinemaBlend, the director said that "Virtually everything you’ve read on the internet [about Ghostbusters 3] is not accurate.”
Well alright then. So what does that mean?
Unfortunately, Reitman didn't go on to say exactly which reports were "not accurate", but he did go on to give a few actual updates. First, while we heard that the film could shoot this May, nothing has been cast yet so that ain't happenin'. Next, the first full draft of the script by its Year One scribes was just handed in a month ago and given to Bill Murray for notes/approval.
While the report of the inaccuracies didn't have any specifics, I believe the whole point of Reitman's declaration was to send a message telling everyone to just chill out. And, now that an actual script has been handed in, to hit the reset button on all the rumors.
So could we get a new batch of ghostbusters, the return of Sigourney Weaver as her son joins the team, or even a ghost Venkman running around? Maybe, but probably not all of it.
