Ivan Reitman has been talking about the forthcoming Ghostbusters reboot, explaining why he isn’t directing, and also why he thinks an all-female cast is the right way to go.
Reitman is promoting sports movie Draft Day – which hit DVD in the UK this week – and unfortunately we spoke to him a couple of hours before Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon were announced as the all-new Ghostbusters. So instead we asked him why he won’t be directing.
“Between Billy Murray’s reluctance in doing another one – and especially when I returned from Harold Ramis’s funeral – I realised that actually, I may be able to talk Bill into doing another one, but I certainly can’t talk Harold into it” explained the director of the first two flicks. “But I felt it needed fresh eyes as a director and somebody with new ideas. I had already done two of them and I love the franchise, so I would continue as a producer but give somebody else the opportunity to bring their own ideas to this wonderful franchise.”
