I got to meet Jason Reitman a few of times, I will never forget when my brother said to Jason “My dad says you guys are full of crap” haha like hes never heard that before. I can only imagine how often people say to director Jason Reitman “My dad says you guys are full of crap” or ask him off topic questions about Ghostbusters 3. But when I first met Jason I asked him if there would ever be another Ghostbuster film and he said “Sorry no Ghostbusters 3”. I even had Jason sign my Ghostbusters 2 dvd he wrote “Andrew my dad says you guys are full of crap…Jason Reitman”
Showing that the press is terrible at asking good questions, Jason Reitman spoke to MTV about how often he gets asked if he’d ever direct a Ghostbusters film.
“It would be the most boring ‘Ghostbusters’ movie of all time. There would be no ghost busting,” laughed the red-hot 30-year-old, who broke out in 2005 with “Thank You for Smoking.” “I like making really small, personal movies. When I read ‘Juno,’ I just thought it was iconic. And ‘Ghostbusters’ is iconic, but it’s my dad’s, and I don’t think I can touch that.”
But, entertaining the notion of what he’d do with Drs. Venkman, Stantz and Spengler (and, yes, Winston), Reitman added: “My [’Ghostbusters 3?] would just be guys talking about ghosts, really. ‘You hear about that ghost? Spooky stuff!’ and then the other guy would be like, "Yeah."
I thought most of us here were well-informed enough to know who Jason Reitman is, given the numeous Proton Charging articles and the Academy Awards from this past year..
Haha. This reminds me of Bob Saget saying that he was walking around town with his young daughters and someone yelled out a car window “You sucked a d**k for crack!” after Half Baked came out.
The one I really feel bad for, though, is the guy who played Booger in Revenge of the Nerds. He still gets called Booger when he’s out in public.
