News broke yesterday afternoon that the Ghostbusters Universe is getting even bigger. Which is especially interesting, because until yesterday, nobody really though of the “Ghostbusters Universe” as a thing. <br /><br />The official announcements came on Deadline yesterday afternoon, and the concrete details were twofold. First, there will be ANOTHER Ghostbusters movie in the not-distant future (DOUBLING the current count of Ghostbusters movies!). And that there’s a new production company called Ghostcorp setting up shop at Sony, with Dan Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman at its head.<br /><br />The movie will NOT be a all-women Ghostbusters - Channing Tatum and possibly Chris Pratt will be in the cast, and it’s to be written by Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3, Mission: Impossible 5), and directed by the Russo Brothers (Captain America: The Winter Soldier). <br /><br />So, Ghostbusters is making a (really obvious) play to start its own Cinematic Universe, as Marvel, Star Wars, and dozens of other franchises have done already. <br /><br />How do you think Ghostbusters will do in the highly competitive world of movie franchises? What do you think of a more male-skewing Ghostbusters hitting the screens soon after the Paul Feig-directed female Ghostbusters? Will you buy all the Ghostbusters Expanded Universe merchandise? What franchise do you hope gets the Cinematic Universe treatment soon?<br /><br />Let us know in the comments below!<br /><br />Want to know what's going on with Cinefix in the future?<br /><br />Follow us Twitter for updates: https://twitter.com/CineFixNetwork<br /><br />Oh, and we're on The Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/CineFixNetwork<br /><br />Tune in daily to Cinefix for up to the minute news about all the awesome movies you love (or love to hate)!
