Paul Feig’s upcoming “female” Ghostbusters reboot is being prematurely criticized once again. This time Feig is defending the location of the film, after it was announced that production would take place in Boston instead of New York City. Now Feig is setting the record straight on just where the new Ghostbusters film will be taking place.
It was recently revealed that the all new Ghostbusters reboot will be filming in Boston, upsetting many fans who don’t want to see the series leave NYC. Paul Feig recently spoke to IGN where he clarified that he will not be taking the Ghostbusters out of New York:
"Oh no, it takes place in New York. We're just shooting mostly in Boston. The original Ghostbusters shot mostly in LA and then they went to New York and shot some exteriors, so that's basically what we'll be doing too. It just comes down to money and our budget is so high that we need the tax incentive that Massachusetts provides."
Of course you can’t take the Ghostbusters out of New York, they are almost as iconic as The Statue of Liberty herself.
Feig's reboot has already come under fire from armchair critics who somehow think the movie’s all female lineup will “ruin their childhoods.”
Feig recently opened up to Variety about the issue, stateing:
“The biggest thing I’ve heard for the last four months is, ‘Thanks for ruining my childhood.’ It’s going to be on my tombstone when I die. It’s so dramatic. Honestly, the only way I could ruin your childhood is if I got into a time machine and went back and made you an orphan.”
