Paul Feig Calls Out Sony for Not Including 2016 ‘Ghostbusters’ Film in Franchise Box Set

He shouldn't have made his failure of a movie a "reboot," then. A "reboot" takes you out of both continuity and canon. If you set out to create something outside of the continuity and canon of the franchise, then why would you be upset that your shitty creation isn't included in the "Franchise Box Set?"

He clearly thought it would stand on its own when he made it, so let it stand on its own now.

I'd call this news a win for the fans. Many of us would be very pissed off to have to buy Ghostbusters 2016 in this new set. I wouldn't even keep those discs to use as coasters.

It's like taking a shit on your company's board room table, smearing it around everywhere and then complaining to your boss that you didn't get employee of the month.

Ghostbusters 2016 is too strange to fit into a boxset like that. It would almost be the same if they tried to fit Spaceballs in a Starwars boxset.

Same A Nightmare On Elm Street box set wouldn't include the 2010 remake.

Paul Feig calls out Sony for humiliating his 2016 Ghostbusters yet again

The hit film Ghostbusters: Afterlife will soon be released on physical media, and to coincide with that, Sony is releasing an eight-disc Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection to Blu-ray and 4K. The set naturally features the three Ghostbusters movies, namely the original from 1984, the sequel from 1989, and of course, part 3, Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters. Afterlife. Absent from the collection of course, is Paul Feig’s female centric Ghostbusters parody. The activists on Twitter weren’t happy about this, and raised the matter to Paul Feig himself, who subsequently called Sony out on it!

In this editorial, @AndreEinherjar will go through what was said, why it made no sense, and finally, why the 2016 movie genuinely has no business being included in any Ultimate Ghostbusters collection.

Does he not understand that his version takes place in another universe-timeline-whatever?

The cameos are not even of the same characters.

There is no "past" in his movies.

That's like complaining that George Lucas left the Holiday Special off the Star Wars box set!
