Is Zombieland Director Ruben Fleischer Being Eyed To Direct GHOSTBUSTERS 3?
While reporting on the Ant-Man director race, The Wrap let slip that Sony was eyeing Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer for Ghostbusters 3.
With all eyes currently on Marvel Studios as they narrow down their list of possible Ant-Man directors, it comes as no surprise that a little bombshell in a recent article regarding the long-gestating Ghostbusters 3 went unnoticed.
According to The Wrap, Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer is being considered by Sony to helm Ghostbusters 3, which recently lost director Ivan Reitman after the death of Harold Ramis. Now, this isn't much to go on, and at this point in time remains unconfirmed, but it is an intriguing possibility. Here's what The Wrap said about it:
"Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer is also in the mix for [Ant-Man], but he just had a baby with his wife, publicist Holly Shakoor Fleischer, and may be reluctant to take a demanding gig that will require such a big commitment. He's also being considered to direct "Ghostbusters 3" for Sony, for whom he directed "Zombieland" and "30 Minutes or Less," though that project isn't heading into production nearly as soon.
Tell us, do you think Fleischer would be a good pick for Ghostbusters 3? Sound off in the comments below!
