Director Jason Reitman has kicked up a social media storm after he said that he plans to hand over the reins of "Ghostbusters" franchise to its fans.
Reitman, whose directorial credits includes movies such as "Juno", "Up in the Air" and most recently the political drama "The Front Runner", had confirmed that he will be directing the latest installment of the famed franchise.
His 72-year-old father, Ivan Reitman, had directed the original "Ghostbuster" films which featured Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis as parapsychology professors who hunts ghosts.
According to The Playlist, Reitman shared his vision about the project while appearing on the most recent episode of Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast.
"I'm not making the 'Juno' of 'Ghostbusters' movies. We are in every way trying to go back to original technique and hand the movie back to the fans," the director said.
Reitman said his take on the beloved franchise will be a love letter to the fans of "Ghostbusters".
"I love this franchise. I grew up watching it. I consider myself the first 'Ghostbusters' fan. I was like seven years old when that movie came out and I love it. I want to make a movie for my fellow 'Ghostbusters' fans."
