We’ve managed to snag a couple pieces of licensing artwork promoting Sony Pictures’ upcoming slate of movies. The big one is the 2020GhostbustersthatJason Reitmanis directing. As we’ve previously reported, the movie is set to be released on August 02, 2025 (which means it’s filming sometime this year) and so far they’ve castMckenna Grace,Finn Wolfhard, andCarrie Coon. However, the project is not a reboot, and Reitman says “What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day.” What that means in terms of connections to the original movies remains unclear, but it’s a definitive way of saying that the new movie will not acknowledgePaul Feig’s 2016 reboot.
The other artwork highlights Sony’s other major IP. So, for example, while there may not be aGoosebumps 3in the works as far as we know, it’s still a valuable property to the studio and they want to keep licensing it and using it to their advantage. The “Ghostbusters 35” is to mark the 35th anniversary ofGhostbustersand you’ve got some temporary stuff forPeter Rabbit 2,Jumanji 3(I seriously doubt they’ll title it with something as bland as “The Next Chapter”), andBloodshot, the comic book adaptation starringVin Diesel.
Do these logos tell us anything substantial about the movies themselves? Of course not! They’re for licensing purposes, but they might provide a hint of where the marketing is going. Other times, they’re really just placeholders, and that’s fine too. This poster also gives us a window for these movies likePeter Rabbit 2coming in spring 2020 (a pretty fast turnaround when you consider the first film was released in 2018) andBloodshotarrives in February 2020 (specifically, its currently release date is June 14, 2025). Of course, Sony has more than these movies on its slate (you may notice the absence of a little movie calledSpider-Man: Far From Home), but this is more of a guide than a production slate.
