A potential Ghostbusters spinoff film could star Channing Tatum and Chris Pratt.
According to a leaked Sony email, Captain America: The Winter Soldier directors Joe and Anthony Russo are interested in developing the film to compliment Kevin Feig’s upcoming, female-led Ghostbusts 3 film.
In the email, Tatum wrote:
“Let us show the world The DarkSide and let us fight it with all the glory and epicness of a HUGE BATMAN BEGINS MOVIE!”
“I know we can make this a huge franchise. Fun adventure craziness. COME OONNNN!!!”
Columbia Pictures co-president of production Hannah Minghella revealed further details in a second email saying:
“The Russos, Channing and Reid have been brainstorming ideas and want to create a whole new mythology that would support multiple movies (the way that Nolan reinvented Batman).
“To be clear – the Russos want to produce (not direct) and while Channing and Chris are looking for a movie to do together they haven’t mentioned this to him yet because they weren’t sure how we’d react.
“They want to make it simultaneously super scary while also super funny. They love the idea that they are mortal heroes who are believers in the paranormal and the only people who can defend mankind from a paranormal threat. I know we’re mid negotiations with Paul.”
Feig has been suggested to develop the second, male-led project alongside the Ghostbusters relaunch.
