GHOSTBUSTERS Reboot Director Paul Feig Lashes Out at His Haters

View fullsize

Ever since the new Ghostbusters reboot was announced, and we found out Paul Feig would be directing it, fans have expressed their dislike for the concept and the fact that such a great classic film is being rebooted. I've been among the fans who have complained!

Feig decided it was time to address these complaints and he took to Twitter to lash out at the haters and the media who leaked the cameo appearances. It's actually kind of amusing to see a director get fed up about all this shit and lose his cool. 

And since I'm on a roll, you, sir, are the biggest ass of them all. Seriously. You shit on all your former heroes. https://t.co/8BMi9YxZ5n

You've been ranting at me and my cast for months with misogyny and insults. So go fuck yourself. Goodnight. #enough https://t.co/r3XNfWP68c

You all have no idea what we did, so stop acting like you do. Enough is enough. Just let this movie happen. #enough https://t.co/lBZGHaNEbz

Then you should embrace a new generation getting their own version. GB is a positive force. Your negativity isn't. https://t.co/MOKZpLLIBo

Gang, everyone should know that any and all cameo announcements are leaks and nothing we wanted made public. Media, please take note.

I only announced @Ernie_Hudson as a cameo because our set was overrun by paparazzi. I really wanted these cameos to be surprises. Just FYI.

Feig then addressed the supporters of his film: 

I read all your tweets & love them. Thanks for the continuing support. I just suddenly hit the wall with the haters. https://t.co/sWAQkbBt6O

So yeah, Feig finally got fed up with all the bashing, and he decided to vent his frustrations on Twitter. I'm still not really all that excited for the movie. I don't care that he cast for women in the lead roles, I'm a fan of them. I just don't like the fact that Ghostbusters, which is one of my all-time favorite films, fell victim to the Hollywood reboot monster. 

If the movie turns out to be good, awesome! I'm just not expecting it to be as good as the original. What are your thoughts on Feig's hater lash-out? 

Then there's this...
