GHOSTBUSTERS 3, Who You Gonna Call? Not THE LEGO MOVIE Directors
Jeff Sneider of The Wrap reports, The Lego Movie directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, have passed on the chance to direct Ghostbusters 3. Hit the jump to share your thoughts.
A couple weeks ago, it was reported that Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who have directed a string of hit films together, The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street and Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, were Sony's top choice to replace Ivan Reitman for Ghostbusters 3. Based on a recent tweet from Jeff Sneider, Sony will have to look elsewhere.
“The LEGO® Movie,” the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, opens in theaters February 7, 2014. Directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (“21 Jump Street,” “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”), it stars Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Charlie Day, with Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman.
The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.
