A few weeks ago it was rumoured that Sony was zeroing in on 21 Jump Street’s Phil Lord and Chris Miller to direct Ghostbusters 3. That turned out to be erroneous, but now THR reports that they are getting ready to make an offer to The Heat and Bridesmaids helmer Paul Feig.
However with Feig being a busy man and Sony wanting to start production as soon as it can, a lot of issues must be ‘worked out’ before the director officially signed on.
The THR report also adds the interesting titbit that while previous reports were correct that the new movie will pass the baton from the old crew to a younger set of Ghostbusters, at the centre of that crew are women.

When the SpongeBob SquarePants: Sponge Out of Water trailer debuted at Comic Con, the main reaction of the audience was apparently bewilderment over what on earth they’d just seen. However confusion would only arise if they’d never watched a lot of SpongeBob or seen the first movie.

All of this changes when he meets a charismatic but damaged older DJ named James who takes him under his wing.
Domhnall Gleeson has certainly been building up a great film career with roles in the likes of Dredd, Harry Potter, True Grit and About Time, and he’s also got a major part in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII. Now he’s signed on to star in The Revenant according to
