Story details are unknown other than the reboot centres on the next generation of Ghostbusters, who happen to be female. Ivan Reitman will produce the action comedy.
Insiders say the studio went to Hemsworth very early on in the process for one of the major male roles but the Aussie actor passed because the role was too small. Since then, Sony Pictures reworked the script so the part was beefed up.
