Ghostbusters: Ernie Hudson Has Spoken With Director Jason Reitman

Yup, by now, it’s probably worth reminding you that you weren’t dreaming. We are, indeed, getting another Ghostbusters film in the near future. In fact, there’s already been a teaser for the thing — no, you didn’t dream that up either. This thing is really happening, and it’s happening next year during the summer.

But, if you need yet another confirmation that this is happening, you can take the word of one enthusiastic Ghostbuster, Ernie Hudson. Hudson went so far as to ring up Jason Reitman, the son of the original Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman, and the helmer of the 2020 sequel.

“I reached out to Jason,” Hudson said. “I’ve talked to Jason. I’ve also had a conversation with Ivan [Reitman] just to congratulate him. They confirmed that the movie is definitely being made, because you know there’s always been rumors with Ghostbusters the last 30 years. What that’ll look like, they did not share.”

But does this confirm that Hudson has any involvement yet? No, sadly not. Not yet, at least.

“Nobody’s offered me a job, but the reason I wanted to reach out to Jason, I remember him as a little kid on the set of Ghostbusters. The fact that he’s stepping into that, I think the fans have been wanting it so no matter what happens, I know it’s going to be a great movie. I really respect him as a filmmaker. Obviously, I’d love to be a part of it but that hasn’t so far presented itself. I know that the movie will be good.”

But surely Hudson knows at least what the movie is about, right? Well, don’t count on it, bro.

“He didn’t tell me. It wasn’t a long conversation but that’s good. Whatever they do, I’m glad they’re doing something. The Ghostbusters fans, I go anywhere in the world, somebody knows I’m there, they’ll come by in their Ghostbuster outfits. For them, I’m very happy it’s happening.”

Well, at least we know it’s in the works still, right? Are you looking forward to it? Let us know in the comments! And strike up a conversation with me on Twitter at @JAMTheWriter!
