At the second, he’s acquired different initiatives to fill his time slightly than one other ghostly adaptation drawn from traditional literature—however he’s apparently not ruling it out for all eternity.

It would have to be with the right piece of IP, it would have to be with the right ghost-centric story, and it would have to really fit with Bly and Hill House.”
