Sony Pictures has basically eliminated the Ghostbusters 2016 movie which sees its controversial director, Paul Feig, react on social media.
A new eight-disc box set for Ghostbusters has been released featuring the first two movies and the latest, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, but the set doesn’t happen to feature the 2016 reboot featuring the all-female team of Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon.
Paul Feig took to Twitter to call Sony out on it:
“Um … @SonyPictures, I know this must be a mistake. We do have a lot of fans and Bill, Dan and Ernie were in it and it won the Kids Choice Award for Best Feature Film the year it came out. So, I guess this was just an oversight?” tweeted Feig.

Oddly enough, Feig also includes the hashtag “#weareallghostbusters” but if you recall back when his movie was getting released, he told fans to go f’themselves and also called them aholes.
“Geek culture is home to some of the biggest a-holes I’ve ever met in my life,” Feig told the Daily News back in 2016. “Especially after being attacked by them for months because of this Ghostbusters project.”
Check out the tweets below.
I suggest to Paul Feig that he reads the creator of Cobra Kai (another Sony project) showrunner Hayden Schlossberg’s article at THR titled, “‘Cobra Kai’ Co-Creator Reveals His Rules for Successfully Rebooting Classic IP (Guest Column).”
Guess Sony knows what they are doing?

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