A new live-action Ghostbusters film could be on the horizon, as Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman is reporting that Sony is developing a project titled Ghostbusters: Nightmare on 34th Street!
According to Richtman, Josh Miller is writing the film, with Miller’s previous credits including Sonic the Hedgehog and the holiday action-comedy Violent Night, with these details awaiting official confirmation from Sony, writes our guy Jason over at Ghostbusters News.
Tidbit:
The title is clearly a merging of A Nightmare on Elm St and Miracle on 34th Street, the Christmas movie, perhpas implying that we could be about to get a Ghostbusters movie set at Christmas and I have to say, that idea makes me feel a little giddy!

Executive producers include Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, and Dan Aykroyd, alongside Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, and Amie Karp.
Beyond Night Shift, Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation are also developing a separate animated Ghostbusters feature film, with The Willoughbys director Kris Pearn previously reported as attached to direct. Plot details and a release date remain under wraps.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
