Last month, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed a girl-power version of the "Ghostbusters" movie starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones and to be directed by Paul Feig.
Now, it's the boys' turn.
Sony Pictures is still planning an all-male "Ghostbusters" reboot starring "Magic Mike" actor Channing Tatum and Hollywood veteran Ivan Reitman, who directed the 1984 original film and its 1989 sequel, Deadline reported.
The company is creating a production company, Ghost Corps, which will be led by Reitman and the film's original star Dan Aykroyd. Also attached to the project are "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" directors Joe and Anthony Russo and "Iron Man 3" writer Drew Pearce.
"We want to expand the Ghostbusters universe in ways that will include different films, TV shows, merchandise, all things that are part of modern filmed entertainment," Reitman told the site.
"Paul Feig's film will be the first version of that, shooting in June to come out in July 2016," Reitman continued. "He's got four of the funniest women in the world, and there will be other surprises to come. The second film has a wonderful idea that builds on that. Drew will start writing and the hope is to be ready for the Russo Brothers' next window next summer to shoot, with the movie coming out the following year. It's just the beginning of what I hope will be a lot of wonderful movies."
"My primary focus will be to build the 'Ghostbusters' into the universe it always promised it might become. The original film is beloved, as is the cast, and we hope to create films we will continue to love."
Feig's "Ghostbusters" movie hits theaters in July 2016.
