Remake Director Paul Feig Comments on ‘Ghostbusters’ 2020; “I Am Very Open to Jason’s New Version”

January 25, 2019

Over the weekend, Ghostbusters (2016) star Leslie Jones held nothing back when publicly discussing director Jason Reitman‘s upcoming sequel to the *original* film over on Twitter, admitting that she felt it was “insulting” and “such a dick move” for Sony to disregard director Paul Feig‘s remake in favor of returning to the original Ghostbusters continuity.

Jones tweeted over the weekend, “So insulting. Like fuck us. We dint count. It’s like something trump would do. (Trump voice) ”Gonna redo ghostbusteeeeers, better with men, will be huge. Those women ain’t ghostbusteeeeers” ugh so annoying. Such a dick move. And I don’t give fuck I’m saying something!!

She continued, “When the point is if they make this new one with all men and it does well which it will.It might feel that “boys are better” it makes my heart drop. Maybe I could have use different words but I’m allowed to have my feelings just like them.”

So how does Feig himself feel about all this? Quote tweeting Jones this week, Feig pledged his support for her comments but also noted that he’s open to Reitman’s vision.

An absolute honest to God never ending supply of bullshit and hate from these trolls,” Feig tweeted, referring to the hate Jones was getting for her tweets. “Leslie spoke her truth and I support her. I am very open to Jason’s new version of GB but am also sad that our 2016 team may not get to bust again. We all are. We’re forever proud of our movie.”
