Entertainment Weekly has learned exclusively that Jason Reitman will direct and co-write an upcoming film set in the world that was saved decades previously by the proton pack-wearing working stiffs in the original 1984 movie, which was directed by his father, Ivan Reitman.
Wow. Jason Reitman is great, and this is a cool idea to continue the franchise without the weight of the prior films.
Just avoid shoehorning in cameos from the original gang, and we’re good.
