GHOSTBUSTERS Animated Movie In The Works With Ivan Reitman Producing

In addition to Paul Feig's Ghostbusters reboot, Sony is apparently planning an animated movie based around the exploits of a team of spook-hunters. We don't know if it will feature the new, all-female roster or the classic characters, but click on for the details we do have...

The Wrap reports that Sony plans to expand its burgeoning Ghostbusters universe will an animated movie, which will be produced by the original movies's director, Ivan Reitman, along with SPA president Kristine Belson and Michael Lachance. Feig's reboot will focus on an entirely new team, but it's not known whether this project will follow suit or not - In fact, there's always a possibility we'll see Ray, Egon, Winston and Peter return.

The studio will soon begin looking for a writer, and insiders suggest that the "story will be told from a ghost’s point of view." 

Sony also has an animated Spider-Man film in the works with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, so this suggests we might see even more animated takes on some of the studio's live-action franchises in the future.

That moment when you realize that Sony used the female casting to drive away focus from the fact their using Ghostbusters to replace Spider-Man as their main franshise.

Honestly wouldn't mind this too much...if they waited until they released their first film.

"...will be told from a GHOST'S point of view."
Oh, come on, Sony, just BURY this franchise already.
You've been beating this old chestnut for, what? 35 years or so, and always in a half-assed manner, that I'm surprised there is ANY life in it at all. (Maybe next summers all female (!) team will finally kill it...but I doubt it...)
And now ANOTHER animated series!!?? WTF??????
What they say about Hollywood is true: there has GOTTA be something in the water.

I don't understand these animated movies. If you want to create a cinematic universe then just do it, adding these animated movies just sounds like half-measures.
