Development[]

On October 1, 2015, it was reported an animated film was in the works. The story followed a similar premise as the original movies. Ivan Reitman and Tom Pollock would allegedly produce it through their Montecito Picture Company, with Ali Bell and Kristine Belson overseeing for Sony Pictures Animation.[1]

On March 8, 2016, it was reported Fletcher Moules will direct.[2]

On April 28, 2016, it was reported in the EMPIRE June 2016 issue, Ivan Reitman would co-direct.[3]

On July 14, 2016, Ivan Reitman confirmed the movie is in the middle of being written.[4]

On July 15, 2016, it was reported the animated movie will be from the perspective of a ghost.[5]

On March 21, 2017, Ivan Reitman projected the movie's release around 2019 or 2020. It depends on how fast they can get it together.[6]

On July 20, 2017, during the Ghostbusters 101 panel at San Diego Comic Con, Reitman revealed the animated movie would explore the ghost world through a ghost's perspective.[7] Reitman also mentioned the animated movie is "deep in design", it is "dealing with Ghost World quite a lot", and is the "Ghostbusters from a ghost's point of view".[8] Reportedly, the ghost would join the team of Ghostbusters.[9]

On July 23, 2017, during the Empire Podcast, Ivan Reitman mentioned the Ecto Force animated series was put on hold to really focus on the animated movie which will 'kick off the world' and 'at least go a long way to bring back the classical story' of the movies. Reitman wanted the movie to come first.[10]

On January 15, 2019, it was reported the animated movie will release after the new live action movie in 2020. A different crew is working the animated movie.[11]

On June 8, 2022, Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan announced the movie was in development and it would be directed by Jennifer Kluska and Chris Prynoski and written by Brenda Hsueh. They also hinted at new characters and a new take then noted it was a passion project of the late Ivan Reitman.[12][13]

On December 29, 2022, Jennifer Kluska commented the animation medium "gives you this bigger, weirder stage to play upon. And I think we want to obviously do something very new and different, as we always do but we know that there are so many 'Ghostbusters' fans who just are waiting to see this franchise animated again" and the design style "is going to be different. I think all of the films that Sony does are very consciously stylistically and tonally different and more and more also visually" because "the technology and the artistry pushes the medium and we are going to be looking for our own approach that's going to be a very specific link to the 'Ghostbusters' franchise, to the world of supernatural and to the telling of ghost stories."[14]

On March 4, 2023, Sony Pictures Animation confirmed story artist Lauren Sassen was in the crew.[15]
