All-Female ‘Ghostbusters’ Star SLAMS New Sequel: ‘It’s Like Something Trump Would Do’

Leslie Jones, comedian and star of the all-female “Ghostbusters” reboot, is slamming the upcoming “Ghostbusters” sequel, calling the studio’s decision to greenlight a new movie by director Jason Reitman “insulting.”

Entertainment Weekly broke news of the upcoming sequel last week in an interview with Reitman, son of the original “Ghostbusters” director, Ivan Reitman. The new movie, which has a release date of 2020, will take place in the same universe as the original and will reportedly feature the same cast as the 1980 version (though without Harold Ramis, who died several years ago). Reitman promises newcomers — four teenaged “Ghostbusters” protegees — and a fresh storyline.
