GHOSTBUSTERS Animated Film Scares Up a Director
Sony is going all-in on the Ghostbusters franchise, working with Ivan Reitman's newly-formed Ghost Corps company to create a cinematic universe that encompasses Paul Feig's upcoming reboot, a possible Channing Tatum film with Chris Pratt co-starring, and a bunch of other projects, too. One of those is an animated Ghostbusters movie, and now that film has found its director.
THR reports that a guy named Fletcher Moules will direct, and though that name won't sound familiar, you've probably seen his most well-known work: he's the one who animated and directed the popular Clash of Clans commercials, one of which has been viewed over 90 million times on YouTube (watch it below). Reitman will produce, but there's no word on whether the movie will be reminiscent of the animated series The Real Ghostbusters, which ran from '86 to '91, or if it will include any of the characters from the films. Fans would probably be happy with voice cameos for guys like Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray, but we'll have to wait and see if that offer is on the table.
The new live-action Ghostbusters movie has seen its fair share of controversy over its casting, but what do you all think about a new animated movie?
