Reitman is slated to produce the sequel after producing and directing "Ghostbusters" and "Ghostbusters II."

"I know that the studio is negotiating with Paul, and I think it's probably going to work out," Reitman told host Ricky Camilleri . "There were always going to be women involved in the next iteration of 'Ghostbusters.' Paul seems to be the perfect director to sort of bring that about."
