Original Ghostbusters Sequel Coming In 2020


The Ghostbusters franchise was most recently rebooted back in 2016 with an all female-led cast but the studio is switching things up once again. According to reports, Sony has brought in Jason Reitman, son of the original 1984 Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman, to direct a sequel to the film that will be set in the original Ghostbusters world.

Entertainment Weekly reports that the sequel is planned for a release in summer 2020. “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day,” Reitman said.

What’s not clear at this point if any of the original lead cast members will be returning back, which include Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, and Dan Aykroyd. Harold Ramis, the fourth star, passed away in 2014. The director is believed to be looking to cast two male and two female teenagers for the sequel.

As it stands, it seems like the sequel will ignore what happened with Paul Feig’s 2016 reboot with an all female-led cast. While the movie was generally well received, many fans of the original didn’t really like it. The intense criticism eventually led to plans for a sequel being shelved.

Mastercard Won’t Let Merchants Bill You Automatically Once A Free Trial Ends


Signing up for a paid subscription service is very easy. Most of them offer a free trial to get you hooked in hopes of enticing you to spend your monthly on yet another recurring subscription. In most cases, the merchants will retain your card information when signing up for the free trial and charge the card automatically at the end of the free trial whether you want to continue using the service or not. Mastercard will no longer let merchants do that.

Mastercard has changed the rules a bit and merchants will now have to gain cardholder approval when a free trial ends. They will be required to send the customer either by text or email the payment date, transaction amount, merchant name, and explicit instructions on how to cancel the trial.

It doesn’t end there. For each recurring payment thereafter, the merchant will also have to send the customer a receipt for each transaction over email or text along with clear instructions on how to cancel the service if they want. All charges that appear in a customer’s statement will also include the merchant website URL or the phone number of the store where the purchase is made.

As someone who has experienced being billed automatically for a service I had no wish to use any further, this is a welcome rule change.
