Sony Reportedly Developing Ghostbusters: Nightmare on 34th Street
Daniel Richtman reports Josh Miller is writing a live-action Ghostbusters film for Sony Pictures, which has not officially confirmed the project.
Sony Pictures is reportedly developing a live-action Ghostbusters film titled Ghostbusters: Nightmare on 34th Street, according to Daniel Richtman. Richtman also reported that Josh Miller is writing the film.
Sony has not officially confirmed the project. The report describes the film as a live-action entry in the franchise, though no release date, cast or production schedule has been given.
The title echoes the 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street and suggests a holiday setting. That would not be new territory for the series: Ghostbusters II took place around New Year's Eve, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire featured frosty conditions.
Other Ghostbusters projects are also in the works. Netflix is developing Ghostbusters: Night Shift, an animated series expected to debut in 2027. It is set in New York City in 1994, five years after Ghostbusters II, with Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Dan Aykroyd, Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan and Amie Karp as executive producers. Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation are also developing a separate animated Ghostbusters feature, with Kris Pearn previously reported to be attached. Following Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan said they were continuing to discuss the future of the franchise, while Dan Aykroyd said he didn't see a place for himself or the other original Ghostbusters in future movies.
