No writers are on board, but it is expected that Ivan Reitman, co-creator of Ghostbusters and one of the stewards of the franchise, would act as one of the producers.

Sony recently wrapped production on its female-centric reboot of the franchise that Paul Feig is directing. Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy are among those starring in the movie that will open July 15, 2016.

Earlier this year, the studio created the Ghost Corps, a collective with Reitman and Dan Aykroyd to head up the expansion of the franchise and to create a Ghostbusters cinematic universe. Sony is one of the few studios that does not have a mega-franchise known as a cinematic universe that can see the making of sequels, prequels, spin-offs, standalones and whatever else execs can think of.

The studio is already in development on a movie that would potentially star Channing Tatum with Joe and Anthony Russo, the duo behind Captain America: The Winter Soldier, to produce and direct it.

Ghostbusters was previously translated to the animated form via a popular television series from DiC Enterprises that ran from 1986 to 1991.
