Following the news of Paul Feig’s [female-fronted _Ghostbusters_ reboot](http://time.com/3685000/ghostbusters-reboot-kristen-wiig-melissa-mccarthy/), Sony Pictures is showing its commitment to diversity with [another next-generation installment](http://deadline.com/2015/03/ghostbusters-channing-tatum-joe-and-anthony-russo-drew-pearce-ivan-reitman-dan-aykroyd-1201388917/), this time aimed at the incredibly underserved niche market known as… dudes. “We want to expand the _Ghostbusters_ universe in ways that will include different films, TV shows, merchandise, all things that are part of modern filmed entertainment,” the original _Ghostbusters_ director Ivan Reitman, who’s helping seer Sony’s Ghostworks production company with original ‘buster Dan Aykroyd, told _Deadline_. “Paul Feig’s film will be the first version of that, shooting in June to come out in July 2016\. He’s got four of the funniest women in the world… the second film has a wonderful idea that builds on that.” The Feig film stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. Reitman is assembling the behind-the-scenes, which may include _Captain America: The Winter Soldier_ directors Anthony and Joe Russo, as well as Channing Tatum and his producing partners—which means Tatum may also end up starring in the series as one of the supernatural exterminators. So let the dream casting begin—_again_. \[[_Deadline_](http://deadline.com/2015/01/ghostbusters-melissa-mccarthy-kristen-wiig-kate-mckinnon-leslie-jones-1201360760/)\] ### 13 Sequels That Were Almost As Good As (Or Better Than) the Originals  The Godfather: Part II The Godfather Part II starred Al Pacino as mobster Michael Corleone and Robert De Niro as his father, Vito, in the 1974 Oscar-winning sequel to The Godfather.
