Finally some fairly solid news about Ghostbusters 3. Ivan Reitman met up with Mtv on a recent red carpet event. As per usual, the conversation turned to the long awaited sequel:

Reitman was all business again when the talk turned back to the schedule. “I hope to start shooting in this next year,” he said, giving weight to Ramis’ recent comments about a planned 2011 release.

Then the bomb dropped. Asked if he would be returning to direct “Ghostbusters III,” Reitman answered with a simple and unequivocal “Yes.”

In the interview he also skirts around some of the rumors previously started by Sigourney Weaver:

“I’m not going to comment on what’s in the script and on what Sigourney may or may not have said,” he told us. “She’s been so busy on ‘Avatar,’ I’ve not been able to find her. There’s some very cool things in the new draft, let’s just put it that way.”

I think its safe to say more news will start coming in faster over the next few months. Check back here for these updates as we report on them!
