One of the stars of the female reboot of Ghostbusters has publicly slammed the decision to again remake the 1984 original.
It's been announced that director Jason Reitman will helm a brand new Ghostbusters project which will completely skip past the 2016 all-female instalment and pick up where the original and its 1989 sequel left off.
The 2016 return of the franchise — starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones — received generally positive feedback from critics, and has a 74 per cent score on movie review site Rotten Tomatoes.
However, the movie — which came with a hefty production budget of $US144 million, and a big marketing spend — still posted a disappointing loss at the box office.
