She’s also set to reunite with Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd in the new Ghostbusters, due July 2020. “It’s going to be crazy working with the guys again!” she says. She won’t reveal any details except to confirm she’s reprising her role as hauntee Dana Barrett.

Accompanied by his father Ivan Reitman, filmmaker Jason Reitman revealed alternate takes, outtakes and other never-before-seen, lost Ghostbusters footage from the original production dailies. The original film footage was apparently sitting in a mine in Kansas, but they tracked it down and cut together some of the best bits to reveal at Ghostbusters Fan Fest. Plus, an off-the-cuff remark from Jason Reitman indicated that this unearthed new footage was serving another mysterious purpose.

“In making this movie, we found something kind of extraordinary. We went to Sony, and we said, ‘We’d really love to get back into the original dailies from 1984. Do you still have them?’ And we found them. They were in a mine in Kansas, and we shipped the boxes to Burbank. And we’ve been going through the footage for reasons I cannot tell you, but along the way we found some really cool stuff.”

Paul Rudd is in final negotiations to join Sony’s latest installment of “Ghostbusters.”

Sources tell Variety Rudd will play a teacher in the film.

Dan Aykroyd Confirms He Will Appear in 'Ghostbusters 2020'
SEPTEMBER 16, 2019 1:16PM by Ryan Parker

Jason Reitman is directing the film, which continues the story established by his father Ivan Reitman in the 1980s series.

It is official: Dan Aykroyd will appear in the upcoming Ghostbusters 2020. It was assumed he would once again play his classic character, Ray Stantz, since he has been talking about (and kind of spoiled the announcement of) the Sony film since its development, but he never said for sure he would be back. That is, until now.

“I’m not in the pictures so much anymore. We’ve got the Ghostbusters movie that we’re working on now and I will have to be performing in that,” Aykroyd said during an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. “Ivan Reitman’s son Jason has written a new movie called, well, it’s gonna be Ghostbusters, the third movie. It will be all, most of the original people and then young stars."

Ivan Reitman directed both Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989). His son developed, and is currently directing, a new story in which it appears the old guard meets a younger generation of Ghostbusters.

Paul Rudd and Finn Wolfhard are set to appear in the film. Sigourney Weaver has said she will appear in the film, and Aykroyd told Rogan he hoped Bill Murray would also come aboard.

The characters from the 2016 all-female led Ghostbusters reboot will not be a part of this new film, which will take place after the events of Ghostbusters II, the younger Reitman previously said.

Aykroyd told Rogan he thought the 2016 reboot was a good film, but there were just aspects that did not work.

“Those girls were superb,” Aykroyd said, referring to stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. “But, I should’ve been sitting there as a producer watching costs a little bit more.”

Ghostbusters 2020 is due in theaters July 10, 2020.
