Ghostbusters
In a recent interview with Gamespot, Dan Aykroyd stated Jason Reitman’s upcoming Ghostbusters film “connects, better than anything, to the first movie…in a way that hasn’t been done before.”
Jason came up with this idea, which is just so good, everybody got it right away and understood. It will connect, better than anything, to the first movie. That’s about all I can say about it, but the two movies will connect, in a way that hasn’t been done before. In a way that hasn’t been done before.
The King’s Man
The long-promised Kingsman prequel is now officially titled The King’s Man and will hit theatres February 2020 in the US. Look for an official Australian release closer to the date.
