It’s getting to the point where we could launch an entire offshoot site solely dedicated to Ghostbusters 3 news and rumors, as not a day seems to pass without more tidbits being leaked. But it’s our duty to report on this stuff, and we trust that you guys are always hungry for more!
Vulture reports today that the nauseating Sony leaks have revealed intricately detailed plans about the upcoming reboot, indicating a plot that quite frankly sounds like a whole lot of fun – and very much in line with the whackiness that the franchise has always been all about.
In a series of e-mails, director Paul Feig outlined his plans for the film, describing it as “scarier and more hi-tech” than the original Ghostbusters. If he has his way, Peter Dinklage will play the lead villain, a convicted murderer who turns into a ghost after a “supercharged electrical storm” botches his execution.
From there, Dinklage’s undead character would raise an army of other ghosts, which could potentially be made up of famous villains throughout history. The ghosts would then have to be busted by the four female leads, tasked with “figuring out in funny, scary and action-packed ways how to save New York City and the world.”

Feig also indicated that the heroic characters will work for the U.S. government, but, because ghosts don’t officially exist, the government will have to continually disavow their relationship.
As always, these are just ideas that have been tossed around so there’s currently no way of knowing if any of this stuff is going to make it into the finished product.
