Sony's Ghostbusters Animated Movie Gets a Director's Update

Last June, it was officially announced that Sony Pictures Animation was developing the first animated film adaptation of the Ghostbusters franchise. Now, one of its female directors - Jennifer Kluska - has finally opened up about the highly anticipated project. Speaking to The Wrap, Kluska expressed her excitement at bringing Ghostbusters back in animated form, which gives the story a "bigger, weirder stage to play on".

"It's kind of very fitting and fitting to return to Ghostbusters in animated form. It feels like so many Ghostbusters fans come from that space as well," Kluska said. bigger and weirder to play in. And I think we obviously want to do something very new and different, like we always do, but we know there's so many Ghostbusters fans just waiting to see this franchise animated again."

Kluska also teased her own approach to the film in terms of visual style and tone that will somehow tie into the franchise.

"By design, it's going to be different. I think all the movies that Sony makes are very consciously different stylistically and tonally and increasingly also visually," Kluska said. the art pushes the medium and we will seek our own approach which will be a very specific connection with the Ghostbusters franchise, with the world of the supernatural and with the telling of ghost stories."

The animated film adaptation of Ghostbusters will be produced by Sony Pictures Animation. This project appears to be different from the recently announced Ghostbusters animated series for Netflix, which will also involve Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan.

The untitled animated film will be directed by Chris Prynoski (Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe) Jennifer Kluska (Hotel Transylvania: Transformania) from a script written by Brenda Hsueh. The project is developed by Reitman and Kenan through their Ghost Corps, Inc. banner
