Reitman shot the teaser hoping to raise rather than answer questions: Whose lonely property is this?

What became of Stantz, Spengler, Zeddemore, and Venkman?
If so, good news theres a newGhostbustersmovie in the works.
Ive always thought of myself as the firstGhostbustersfan, when I was a 6-year-old visiting the set.

I wanted to make a movie for all the other fans, Reitman says.
This is the next chapter in the original franchise.
It is not a reboot.
What happened in the 80s happened in the 80s, and this is set in the present day.
Sony Pictures has dated the film for Summer 2020, with plans to start shooting in a few months.
This is very early, and I want the film to unwrap like a present.
However, this new movie will follow the trajectory of the original film, Reitman says.
I love everything about it.
The tone, Reitman says.
I was scared there was a terror dog underneath my bed before people knew what a terror dog was.
(Heres a shot of 6-year-old Jason posing with his father on the fractured Manhattan street they constructed.)
I think I said, Thered be no busting, he recalls with a laugh.
His father will produce the movie.
It was a decision he had to come to himself.
He worked really hard to be independent and developed a wonderful career on his own.
Literally, I was crying by the end of it, it was so emotional and funny.
TheGhostbustersuniverse is big enough to hold a lot of different stories, Jason says.
