Deadline: Sony Pictures is broadening the “Ghostbusters” franchise and the first order of business will be an action-centric comedy that is a counterpart to the Paul Feig-directed film that will start production in June. The studio is simultaneously forming Ghostcorps, a new production company whose principals include original “Ghostbusters” architects Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd. They will have offices at Sony with the mission to scare up branding opportunities based on the 1984 comedy hit.
