Ghostbusters Animated Movie Focusing On New Characters In Development

The Ghostbusters franchise continues to expand, this time with an animated feature from Sony Animation revolving around brand new characters.

An animated Ghostbusters movie revolving around brand new characters has officially been put into development. The beloved ghost-hunting franchise has only grown in size since the original 1984 comedy, which starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and the late Harold Ramis as the titular team. Ghostbusters has since expanded into comics, games, and television. However, it remains first and foremost a film franchise.

Last year saw the release of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, a direct sequel to the original movies from the ’80s. Helmed by Jason Reitman, the son of Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman, the new movie acted as something of a reboot for the franchise. Afterlife has spurred the creation of new projects for the property, including another sequel (now largely only known as Ghostbusters 5) and an animated television series.

However, that is far from the end of what is in store for Ghostbusters. During the official Ghostbusters Day event on Wednesday, Reitman announced a new animated movie is in development. It will feature all new characters and offer a brand new take on the Ghostbusters mythology. Jennifer Kluska and Chris Prynoski will direct, while Brenda Hsueh is writing the script.
