Ghostbusters' backlash was problematic.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones finds Jason Reitman’s joke about the film unforgivable. A remake of the 1984 classic of the same name that departed from the original, 2016’s Ghosbusters featured a female-led main team, consisting of Jones, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, and Melissa McCarthy.
And it wasn’t just racist s**t, either — when I started doing this movie, this is when I really started seeing not only racism, but classism. Even the director of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Jason Reitman — who is the son of the original director, Ivan — said something unforgivable when discussing his new version that came out in 2021.
But the damage was done. Bringing up the idea of giving the movie “back to the fans” was a pretty clear shout-out to all those losers who went after us for making an all-female film.
