But director Paul Feig seems to be pinning the blame on the much-loved original 1984 movie. “We had such a reverence for it,” Feig said promoting the movie at the Apple Store in SoHo, Manhattan, “and when we were at the heart of everyone being so angry at us, ‘[it was like] just wait and see the movie’! There are so many references to the old film — there might be too many.”
“I understand some people are mad it wasn’t a sequel,” Feig said. “I more have a problem with the people that are mad because the cast are women. They gotta deal with that themselves.”
He added: “We had the Ecto 1, proton packs, the traps, the logo and the song — no way were we going to make it without the song. We were almost afraid we were too reverential. You’ve seen properties that have the classic song but don’t play it in the sequel. We knew that when we did opening sequence credits and we didn’t play it, you can’t start the film. So it had to be Ray Parker’s song!”
Feig just doesn't get it.
