Emma Stone Passes on Ghostbusters 3

Jonah Hill remains undecided about taking on the sequel. Sony will only move forward if two major stars sign on.

Last month, we reported that Emma Stone and Jonah Hill were offered roles inGhostbusters 3. Today we have word thatEmma Stone has passed on the role of Anna, while Jonah Hill has not decided whether or not to take the role of Jeremy.

Here’s what Schmoes Know’s source dubbed “The Phantom” had to say.

“Emma Stone is passing on “Anna” but Jonah Hill still has an offer out for “Jeremy”. Interesting enough, Sony wants two big stars signed on or they will not green light the picture.”

While no story details have been confirmed by the studio, it has been long believed that the plot follows a new crop of Ghostbusters, trained by Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis andErnie Hudson from the original trilogy.

We also reported last month that production was being eyed for a spring 2014 start in Cleveland, although it seems this long-gestating sequel is still a long way from getting off the ground.

Ivan Reitman is still attached to direct from a script by Etan Cohen. Gene Stupnitsky andLee Eisenberg wrote the original draft.Ghostbusters 3 is in development and stars Sigourney Weaver, Anna Faris, Eliza Dushku, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Annie Potts, Ernie Hudson. The film is directed by Ivan Reitman.
