Paul Feig on Ghostbusters: "Just Let This Movie Happen"

Paul Feig has responded to some of the online vitriol aimed at his new Ghostbusters film.

The Spy director took to Twitter to call time on the abuse he has been receiving ever since the project – which sees Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig stepping into the Ghostbusters fold, along with Chris Hemsworth as the new receptionist for the team – was announced.

As Feig heads into the edit suite to shape his movie, over the past day or so, the director has been responding to some of his harsher critics – who, he revealed don’t always turn out to be trolls but normal respectable family people.

Given that no-one knows just how this movie will turn out, it’s difficult not to feel for him. Feig hasn’t delivered a bad movie yet but many have already written this one off without seeing so much as a frame of film.

Feig also responded to a few others hurling unpleasant comments in his direction, but also took time to explain the revealing of the cameos in the movie.

Ghostbusters arrives in cinemas in July 2016.
