REITMAN TO RETURN TO GHOSTBUSTERS
Ivan Reitman told MTV News yesterday that he will come back to direct the third Ghostbusters film.

He said that the first draft has been turned in and that they are working on a second draft.

Ivan has really fell off with his quality of films in my opinion. I think that if anyone should direct, it should be his brother. He has proven to make great comedies with Thank You For Smoking, Juno, and Up In the Air. Hopefully he can knock this one out of the park because he needs to with this one.

NEW JURASSIC PARK TRILOGY IN THE WORKS
Jurassic Park 3 director Joe Johnston is on the road promoting his upcoming film The Wolfman. While doing an interview he gave an update to his next film, Captain America and gave some interesting news involving the Jurassic Park franchise. Here is what he had to say:

"Well, there is going to be a Jurassic Park IV. And it's going to be unlike anything you've seen. It breaks away from the first three—it's essentially the beginning of the second Jurassic Park trilogy. It's going to be done in a completely different way. That's pretty much all I can tell you."

I'm really intrigued by this comment. However, I do not think Joe Johnston is a very good director. I think Spielberg needs to get highly involved with these films and really deliver a great movie which I believe Spielberg has failed to do recently. Oh, and Jeff Goldblum better be in all three.

DIRECTING RUMORS FOR SPIDER-MAN
With Sony ditching the old crew and bringing in a new one, the search has begun for a director. Right now 500 Days of Summer director, Marc Webb, has reportedly become the front runner. Apparently Sony does have a wish list which includes James Cameron, David Fincher and Wes Anderson.

Back in the 90's, Cameron had an idea for a Spider-Man film and it never got moving in the right direction. Now could be the time he could finally tackle it. I do not think that Marc Webb has the experience to handle a big time action film like Spider-Man.

LIONSGATE TOP BIDDER FOR TERMINATOR FRANCHISE
Lionsgate has reportedly offered 15 million dollars to take over the Terminator rights from Halcyon.

Lionsgate could be a good home for Terminator. Lionsgate has no problem with churning out rated R films, which I believe is what the Terminator franchise needs to be.

FOUR BROTHERS 2???
Paramount is in the works of developing a sequel to the 05' film Four Brothers. The film starred Mark Wahlberg, Andre Johnson, and Terrance Howard. The film will be titled, you guessed it, Five Brothers. There is no plot for the film as of right now.

This is a dumb idea. The movie was ok, but certainly doesn't warrant a sequel.
