Ghostbusters Animated Netflix Movie Finds Director

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for animated movies and the Ghostbusters franchise, I must say I am thrilled about this upcoming animated Ghostbusters project at Netflix. The director, Kris Pearn, has a solid background in animation and has delivered successful films like Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 and The Willoughbys.

A lively Ghostbusters film is being planned for Netflix, as per reports from Deadline, and it’s said that a director has already joined this upcoming production.

Who is directing the animated Ghostbusters movie?

As reported by Deadline, Kris Pearn has been chosen to direct a new project by Sony Animation and Netflix. Kris Pearn boasts an extensive background in animation, with credits that include co-directing Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 in 2013 and more recently, directing The Willoughbys in 2020.

At present, details about the movie such as its writers or casting, along with specifics of the storyline, remain undisclosed. The studios are keeping the plot points secret, leaving us uncertain about how this film will relate to the broader Ghostbusters series. It’s also unclear if Netflix’s rumored Ghostbusters animated series has any connection to this project.

Despite lacking specific details about the project, Deadline’s report hints that there’s optimism that the upcoming animated film could replicate for Ghostbusters what Spider-Verse achieved for Sony’s Spider-Man brand. The Marvel franchise, with its blockbuster success and subsequent spin-offs, has created a buzz and introduced beloved characters.

This movie is part of a series of endeavors for the Ghostbusters franchise, which was rejuvenated in 2016 and rebooted in 2021. The most recent film from this franchise, titled “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” hit the screens earlier this year. The star-studded cast included Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, and Celeste O’Connor.

Despite Frozen Empire receiving a mix of positive and negative critiques, its director, Gil Kenan, has subtly suggested that additional films might be on the horizon.
