Busting Out

It's a double dip's worth of news on producer and director Ivan Reitman,.
First up Variety says he's set to to direct a rom-com currently under the working title "Friends With Benefits starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher.
The script by Elizabeth Meriwether's deals with the ease of men and women to become physically involved and the far more difficult job of emotional attachments.
Meh...
Reitman, Jeffrey Clifford and Joe Medjuck.would produce.
Filming kicks off in May for release the first week of January....
But wait--Isn't he going to helm a certain ghostbusting sequel?
Vulture claims Sony Pictures doesn't want Reitman involved in calling action for Ghostbusters III.they want a younger director to take charge. With Reitman committing to 'Friends' they thought they may have gotten their wish but Reitman wants to direct both projects.
Reitman's original deal for the franchise back in the 80's gives him an enormous amount of creative control over the project - including director and story approval.
In fact if franchise stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis - don't approve of the film, they have a veto power which can kill the entire production immediately even as Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, will turn in their second draft of the film's script in May.
It's a terrible idea for the studio to want to go younger since Reitman Wants To Direct G 3 If he walks no movie--no revenue Stupid
