Leslie Jones heavily criticizes announcement of 'Ghostbusters 3'

I thought the new movie was going to have mixed cast gender wise?
Regardless, I have no issues with her response. The response to Ghostbuster was rather embarrassing and toxic. And she received a lot disgusting hate from Milo and his twitter army.

She's in one mediocre remake of a classic movie and all of a sudden she owns the franchise? Piss off.
This was talked about in the other GB thread, but it seems she doesn't have all the information. It's not a reboot, it's a continuation and it's going to have a mixed cast of men and women (well, actually boys and girls).
OP

It was bad but the internet made it out to be the worst thing ever for all the wrong reasons.
Forgettable, except maybe two scenes.
Her toxic response is pretty ironic, given the toxic response of the fans of the original film to her film.
Wasn't the bigger issue with her Ghostbusters film that it wasn't funny or good? Not that it had an all woman leads.
I'm sorry but fuck the ghostbusters reboot. It was, frankly, shit and didn't have any of te humor or style I expected from a GB movie.
Afaik It's so far only rumored but it really only makes sense. I imagine cast will probably be a relative standard group of diverse teens.
Roughly on par with ghostbusters 2, a bit better in spots. I had fun seeing it in the theater.
i understand that the cast of the last ghostbusters went through a lot of shit that never should have come to pass(especially her)....this would be a super emotional topic for anyone who had to go through that hell.
But she should really get all the information before talking because it makes her look like she's not really informed about the facts and the reality of this movie

I really likes DmC as did a lot of people. Not sure what this comparison means?
This whole thing is a shit show for so many reasons that I don't think 2 people have the same hot take on things.
Yeah that Paul feig never did anything of note
Creator of freaks and geeks and also directed several episodes of the U.S version of The Office, Arrested Development, Weeds and Nurse Jackie, as well as episodes of Mad Men, 30 Rock, and Parks and Recreation. He received nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards for writing on Freaks and Geeks and three for directing on The Office.

sure, it was very crazy seeing all those time travelers, come back from the future to attack a movie
I was about say I doubted that, but then I had the same reaction the the first Hangover movie.
No, but it also wan't bad, and received outsized hate. It was just kind of mediocre, so I can see why the studio wants to go in a different direction.
Reminder Leslie Jones was the target of intense and utterly insane sexist and racist harassment over her involvement in v the movie, a move she clearly enjoyed making and had pride in
Also really the movie only underperformed relative to someone thinking yeah sure let's spend 150 million on a sci-fi horror comedy
If it was done on say 50 million, the right size of budget for the kind of film it was, it probably actually gets a sequel.

I get that she had to deal with a ton of unnecessary and hateful backlash....
But it was a bad film. Reboots happen. Reboots of reboots happen.

Leslie, dear, shhhhhhhh. Your movie was a stink-fest through no fault of your own, but it was still a stink-fest. Let it die.
Chalk it up to the game. Don't jump on remakes that think switching genders is a draw. Just cynical Hollywood lazily jumping on the success of women led projects while not creating original content for women.
The movie did suck for the hype of the franchise name itself. However they did get harassed to the moon and back which was so unfair.
I feel that Leslie Jones needs to team up with some creative person to actually flesh her out even more. The stuff she does in SNL and even in the movie seems so forced and same type of personality in all her characters. I feel like she has more hidden talents deep inside that needs to be fleshed out by someone directing her correctly than always being the bashful, loud character that she gets stereotyped and harassed for.

I hate that the reboot sucked, but it did. Not because of the cast; entirely because of the script. As a huge fan of Kate McKinnon in particular, it's a frustrating situation, and Jones is right when she says this news is the kind of thing alt right incels love; but to pretend the reboot was a good movie just to advance a progressive agenda does a disservice to every fantastic movie made by women.
I'm normally all about trying to retroactively salvage things like the reboot with a sequel, and if that was the call the studios made, I'd expect a follow up to be much better; but I can't say I feel ignoring the reboot in favour of another sequel to the original is bad form given how it turned out.

I don't blame her. Every nerd boy on the Internet had a meltdown because it wasn't their franchise. Same thing that's happening with Star Wars.
Yup, pretty much this.
True. It's not her fault they had a ridiculous marketing campaign for a somewhat decent comedy.
