It is not a reboot. What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day," Reitman, the son of the original films' director Ivan, said earlier this year.According to Parade, Weaver wouldn't reveal any details about the movie except to confirm that she will play Dana and not a new character. “It’s going to be crazy working with the guys again!” Weaver said.As speculated by /Film , it seems like that Weaver's involvement in the film was meant to be revealed at this weekend's Ghostbusters Fan Fest.
