Even though it was an horrendous box office bomb, producer Ivan Reitman nevertheless talked up the idea that a new Ghostbusters movie may end up in cinemas by the end of 2019.

Reitman said, "I think we have wonderful plans, both for an animated feature that we’re deep in design on already and a really great story... And of course a new live-action film."

Reitman elaborated that he suspects Sony will want to tie either one or both of these movies to the upcoming 35th anniversary of Ghostbusters in 2019, and though it's still massively unclear whether the animated or live-action movie will be the one to squeeze through, it's fair to say that the latter sounds far more likely.

After all, are Melissa McCarthy et al even keen to return to this world after their first effort failed so spectacularly?
