Director Jason Reitman’s upcoming GHOSTBUSTERS 3 (or GHOSTBUSTERS 2020, or whatever they're calling it) is headed our way next summer. We recently passed along word that THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN and KNOCKED UP star Paul Rudd has joined the cast and today we have word via original GHOSTBUSTERS star Ernie Hudson that this new movie will "take it to a whole other level" and "give the fans what they’ve been looking for."

Hudson told Countdown City Geekcast at Celebrity Fan Fest.

I’m glad that Jason Reitman, Ivan Reitman’s son, is gonna be directing and producing this movie, and writing it. And he was a kid when we were doing the other movies, in fact, he’s in the second movie, so I know there’s a love for the movie. He’s an amazing filmmaker and I think he’s gonna take it to a whole other level.

He continues on to say that unlike Paul Feig's all-female GHOSTBUSTERS movie, this new flick is more in line with the original movie.

As we move into the future, I’m just really excited that he’s gonna give the fans what they’ve been looking for. I think the last movie with the ladies, it was a good movie and enjoyable, but it wasn’t quite what a lot of the fans wanted. I think this will be more in line with the original Ghostbusters, so I’m excited about it.

What do you think? Let us know below!

The cast currently includes Carrie Coon as a single mother, with Finn Wolfhard as her son and Mckenna Grace as her daughter. GHOSTBUSTERS stars set to return include Bill Murray as Peter Venkman, Dan Aykroyd as Raymond Stantz, Sigourney Weaver as Dana Barrett, Annie Potts as Janine Melnitz, and Ernie Hudson as Winston Zeddemore.

The film is said to focus on a family who moves back home to a small town. While there, they begin to learn more about who they are and the secrets of the town itself.

That's all we know at the moment, but I'm thinking we can expect to see all of this tie back to the original team of Ghostbusters in some way. But again, who knows? I guess We'll find out come July 10, 2020. Until then let us know how excited you are for this new GHOSTBUSTERS movie below!
