"Tropic Thunder" writer Etan Cohen has been hired to rewrite Sony Pictures' "Ghostbusters 3," an individual close to the situation told TheWrap.
The 38-year-old scribe was tapped to rewrite the film that producer Ivan Reitman last year said had a "really good script."
This marks new movement on long-awaited film, which appeared to hit a roadblock in 2011, when Reitman told ComingSoon.net that franchise star Bill Murray had not read the script.
