It’s been nearly a decade since Sony announced plans for an animated Ghostbusters film, but now, whispers of life are breaking through the silence. Picture fans’ excitement when a clear sign emerges that the project isn’t just a figment of hope. With each update, anticipation swells like the ghostly energy of New York City itself.
Reports from Jeff Sneider confirm that Dolface writer Sam Jarvis has joined the team, further igniting our curiosity. She follows in the footsteps of Yoni Brenner and Kristy Hall, both of whom contributed to earlier drafts. The film, guided by director Kris Pearn of The Tiger’s Apprentice, promises to bring a fresh narrative to the beloved franchise.
Fans Await the Animated Vision
When you think of what Ghostbusters could mean through the lens of animation, it’s like staring at a blank canvas, waiting for vibrant colors to explode. Sony initially let slip that the film might explore the world from the ghosts’ perspective, a tantalizing premise that could turn what we know on its head. However, whether this idea will stick remains a mystery, adding a layer of intrigue to an already captivating project. Meanwhile, the studio gears up for new animated content, including a Netflix series announced in 2022, animated by none other than Legend of Aang studio Flying Bark, creating a parallel universe of ghostly adventures.
What’s Next for the Live-Action Series?
As anticipation brews for the next live-action entry following Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the air feels electric with possibility. It’s rumored that more cinematic ghostbusting may be on the horizon, creating a tapestry of stories that fans can relish. Given that Netflix and Sony share a close relationship, it’s likely that these new cinematic pieces will eventually find their way to streaming audiences, keeping the ghostly charm alive in homes everywhere.
