Here’s proof a lot of the Ghostbusters rumors were true.
Emma Stone reveals in an interview with WSJ that she was offered a role in Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters remake, but eventually passed.
“The script was really funny,” she told the site. “It just didn’t feel like the right time for me. A franchise is a big commitment—it’s a whole thing. I think maybe I need a minute before I dive back into that water.”
Stone just came off of The Amazing Spider-Man for the same studio. And while a movie is just a movie to many consumers, it takes a tremendous commitment to be part of a major studio picture, let alone be locked into various sequels.
In other Ghostbusters news, the plot was leaked during a casting session, and Jon Barkan shared all of the details yesterday.
Ghostbusters stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth. Feig is directing the film based of a script written by him and Kate Dippold. Ivan Reitman is producing the film. It is expected to release on July 22, 2016.
