While they are still shopping for a director for the sequel\/reboot of the 80s classic, yet another name has been dropped. According to &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/marvels-ant-man-rawson-marshall-thurber-is-frontrunner-to-direct\/\"><em>The Wrap<\/em><\/a>&#8220;, <em>Zombieland<\/em> director Ruben Fleischer may be in line to head the project. His work on both <em>Zombieland<\/em> and <em>30 minutes or Less<\/em> shows that he may bring the right comedic scope to the film. Some are also hoping that something will come along with his relationship to Bill Murray. This, I feel is nothing but a long shot dream of some fans. Murray has never been invested in returning to the role. I doubt that we would ever see him again reprising his role as Peter Venkman.<\/p>\n<p>Right now this is a rumor and has not been confirmed. Fleischer recently had a baby, which could make him pass on a project with such a high time commitment. Since Sony announced this film we have seen it passed over by a few directors, so, seeing one more would not be out of the realm of possibility. But again, <em>Ghostbusters<\/em> fans are grasping at straws and hoping for any news of this films fate. I have said several times that my hope is that this film dies in production and nothing has moved me to change that mindset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nSony is still pushing forward with their plans to add another film to the Ghostbusters franchise.
