Jason Reitman (Juno, Young Adult, Tully) directed the new film, taking over from his father Ivan Reitman who helmed the first two and will produce.
Reitman, who had a cameo in 1989’s Ghostbusters 2, co-wrote the script with Gil Kenan (Monster House, Poltergeist), who is no stranger to ghost stories.
Hence, it has actually allowed him to spend more time working on the film which has been “extraordinarily valuable.”
Reitman has revealed that this setback didn’t necessarily affect the film negatively.
