In an interview with 660 City News, one of the original Ghostbusters films’ stars Dan Aykroyd has revealed that he’s already written a prequel film which would feature Peter, Ray and Egon during their high school days:
“I’ve written Ghostbusters High where they meet in New Jersey in 1969 and we’re looking to do that as probably a glorified feature or pilot within the next maybe five years. And it would lead to a television project and I thought of [Jason Reitman] immediately for that. It’s on his desk but that’s years away from the current project.
But it’s a neat idea for a prequel. Imagine casting the three characters as teenagers. We have at least one or two other concepts for the Ghostbusters and then we’ll look at doing the prequel, which will be a perfect button on all we’ve done up to that point.”
Jason Reitman will direct the upcoming sequel, whos father Ivan Reitman directed the original two film. Reitman is co-writing the script with Gil Kenan.
The new Ghostbuster film comes to cinemas on July 10th 2020.
