Melissa McCarthy Admits 'Ghostbusters' Reboot Trailer Was 'Confusing'
We loved the Ghostbusters trailer when it dropped in March. You, the statistical odds suggest, didn't. Over the weekend, news arrived that it had received more YouTube dislike-button-clicks than any trailer to ever come before.
Now it looks like the un-dislike-able Melissa McCarthy has been tasked with damage control. Visiting the radio show Johnjay and Rich (via The Hollywood Reporter), she cleared up a few things that may be exacerbating the fussiness:
"It's a reboot, it's not—I know it's weird that they said the '30 years ago,' because in this movie, like, the first one didn't happen. It's just...it's that great story but told totally differently. But it's the same thing of, it's four unlikely heroes, it's in New York city, ghosts are taking over. It's that same classic story, but it's not a '30 years later.' The trailer said the '30 years later,' which I didn't quite get, myself. It's not dependent on the first one."
