  "account": "Paramount Pictures is reportedly exploring the idea of a follow-up to the 2003 film The Italian Job, according to Deadline. The project would be helmed by director Paul Feig, who is known for his work on the 2016 Ghostbusters sequel. While no specifics have been disclosed yet, as Paramount is still in the process of hiring writers, the news has sparked curiosity among fans. Feig's previous involvement in the Ghostbusters reboot, which reunited the cast of the 1984 original, suggests he may be a good fit for another nostalgic installment. However, the concept of a new Italian Job has some wondering if it's just another outdated idea from 2016.",
  "summary": "The film is expected to be a \"follow-up\" to the 2003 F. Gary Gray reboot starring Mark Wahlberg.",
