New head of Sony Pictures cuts budget for Ghostbusters 3
The new head of Sony Pictures Tom Rothman, who replaced Amy Pascal, who was dismissed after the scandal with the hacking of the servers of the studio, ordered to reduce the production budget of the movie "Ghostbusters 3." This is reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Pascal is said to have approved spending of $ 169 million, of which $ 14 million was to be paid to one Melissa McCarthy and another 10 million to director Paul Feig. The new leader could no longer change the terms of the acting contracts, but ordered to find an opportunity to reduce the budget to 154 million dollars. Recall that, in addition to McCarthy, "Ghostbusters 3" will star Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Keith McKinnon. It is assumed that the shooting of the movie according to the script, which will be prepared by Katie Dippold, who previously worked on the team of the action comedy "Cops in Skirts", will take place in the summer of 2015 in New York. In March 2015, it was announced that Sony Pictures had formed a new production company called Ghostcorps, headed by Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd. The unit's task will be to fully develop the popular franchise and possibly shoot a more "serious" version of "Hunters".
