Does Channing Tatum want to be the person you call if there’s something strange in your neighborhood? As more leaked emails hit the web following last month’s cyber attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment’s systems, the actor’s pitch for a new Ghostbusters movie in which he would star has come to light. The leaked emails were published by Defamer, The Daily Beast and Vulture. Channing’s email to Sony makes it clear he’s not afraid of no ghosts: “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.”
Director Paul Feig emailed that the film will center on four female Ghostbusters who work for the government, although the government claims not to be affiliated with them in order to deny the official existence of ghosts. The women “figure out in funny, scary and action-packed ways how to save New York City and the world.” But he plans to make his film “scarier and more hi-tech” than the 1984 original.
