With the all-female cast, Paul Feig-directed “Ghostbusters” feature film set to begin production in June, deadline.com is reporting that Sony Pictures is “broadening the “Ghostbusters” franchise with an action-centric comedy that is a counterpart to Feig’s.”
The studio is simultaneously forming Ghostcorps, a new production company whose principals include original ‘Ghostbusters’ architects Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd; they will have offices at Sony with the mission to scare up branding opportunities based on the 1984 comedy classic.
The story further states that Channing Tatum is being considered for one of the film’s key roles.
