Actor Channing Tatum is teaming up with Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman and star Dan Aykroyd to create a new “male-driven” film franchise inspired by the supernatural comedy. The Magic Mike star, his producing partners Reid Carolin and Peter Kiernan, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier co-directors Joe and Anthony Russo are working with Reitman and Aykroyd on the new project. The news comes weeks after the casting of director Paul Feig’s all-female Ghostbusters reboot was revealed, and Reitman tells Deadline that the “male-driven, action-centric” film they’re planning will act as a companion movie to Feig’s project.
