Ivan Reitman Back For GHOSTBUSTERS 3!! But In What Capacity?? + A Plot Snippet...

Merrick here...
With a vast majority of the franchise's original cast expected to/committed to return for a third GHOSTBUSTERS film in one way or another, it should come as no surprise that GHOSTBUSTERS 1 & 2 producer /director Ivan Reitman is also "100%" confirmed to be on-board. Word of Reitman's potential proximity to this movie was floated by MTV A FEW MONTHS AGO (were they the first to report it?) The Bloody Disgusting piece goes on to suggest that the nature of Reitman's involvement has yet to be determined. I'm guessing this means he could be a producer...a consultant of some sort...or, dare we say it?...he might direct the film? Bloody Disgusting goes on to offer a hint at how the new storyline gets started:

...the sequel takes place when the paranormal researchers "reopen" their ghost removal service after it has been closed for quite a few years.
