Paul Feig says his Ghostbusters movie will be “scarier than the original”
For all of the acclaim that the original Ghostbusters movie gets, a lot of people seem very willing to ignore its one glaring flaw: it isn’t very scary. Seriously, the movie managed to get four masters of horror—Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson—all together, and they made the movie into a comedy? Thankfully, it sounds like Paul Feig is going to remedy that a little bit for his all-female Ghostbusters reboot. In an interview with Empire, the Bridesmaids director said that he and co-writer Katie Dipold are trying to make their new Ghostbusters movie “scarier than the original.” He says it’ll be a “scary comedy” and that they “don’t want to hold back.” Hopefully, this will settle everyone’s concerns about the reboot.
