Melissa McCarthy reveals the studio ignored her complaints about Ghostbusters’ movie trailer.
Following the news that the Ghostbusters trailer is one of the most disliked videos in YouTube history, one of the stars of the Sony reboot acknowledged that the early promo clips were “very confusing.”
As a guest on The Johnjay & Rich Show, Melissa McCarthy said: “It’s a reboot, not a remake. I know it’s weird that they say [in the trailer] “30 years ago,” but in this movie it’s like the first one didn’t happen.” Basically, arguing that the movie’s trailer is a female interpretation to the original Ghostbusters movie.
Melissa McCarthy continues: “It’s a great story but told totally differently. It’s the same thing of four unlikely heroes, it’s in New York city, ghosts are taking over. It’s the same classic story, but it’s not a ’30 years later,’ ” she said.
McCarthy even said she raised the issue to the movie’s producers and studio executives but, they ignored her. “Believe me the question was asked,” she said. “I think that it’s very confusing. But then everyone said we don’t care what you think.”
