Sony No Longer Planning All-Male Ghostbusters Film

Right around the time we learned that Paul Feig was rebooting Ghostbusters, it was also reported that another film was in the works with an entirely different cast. Actors like Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum were attached to the so-called all-male Ghostbusters reboot, but it seems it’s just not happening.

Speaking with Forbes, brothers Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America: Civil War) hammered a nail in that coffin.

“There is no status with that for us,” said the filmmakers. “There was a period there when Paul Feig was engaging Sony in talks about Ghostbusters, and we were also engaging them. He was further along with his process than we were, and he closed his deal so that’s the only Ghostbusters world that’s being explored right now over at Sony. Once we took Infinity War, it [took] us off the table for any kind of any potential work on a Ghostbusters project.”

And that’s that.

Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters hits theaters on July 15.

Episode 267: The Legendary John Harrison and The Haunting (1963)
This week we chat with filmmaker, producer, composer, writer, author...this guy's done it all...John Harrison. From working with George Romero on everything from Creepshow and Dawn of the Dead to Tales from the Darkside to the Dune miniseries to his Netflix series Residue...he's done it all. He even directed Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, which was Andrew LaSane's Scarred for Life pick, which is one of Terry's favorite movies. We chat about his long history in cinema; about how he started working with Romero to some insights into Tales from the Darkside. And we discuss his latest work, the novel Residue: Paramentals Rising, which is a sequel to the Netflix show. After learning about his horror history--including a memorable viewing of Night of the Living Dead--we find out why The Haunting terrified him as a twelve year old. John references an article written by Anthony McKay in Little Shoppe of Horrors, which can be ordered here. You can find Residue: Paramentals Rising wherever you buy your books or at WordFire Press.You can follow John on his website or Instagram and Facebook.Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Bluesky.
