Even though we rather liked it, The Ghostbusters trailer has already received plenty of criticism from fans and has sparked controversy due to its apparent typecasting of black actress Leslie Jones. Director of the reboot, Paul Feig has come out in her defence.
Jones was unhappy about the critics on twitter and yesterday said that she may quit the social media network:
I think today will be the day I get rid of Twitter. Gonna really be thinking on it. Not sure I want to need it anymore. Know what I mean?

Paul Feig stood up for Jones tweeting “f**k the haters”:
Don't leave us, @Lesdoggg. You are a goddess & one of the warmest funniest forces of nature I know. Fuck the haters. https://t.co/rwh8CIxCk4

And haters, attack me all you want but when you attack and insult my cast, you've crossed the line. Grow up and leave my cast alone.

One twitter fan tweeted to Feig “People are not attacking your cast, they’re criticizing your movie based on a trailer. Don’t throw your cast under the bus.” Paul Feig’s response was as follows:
No, they're attacking my cast personally. Look at @Lesdoggg mentions. They're going after her and @melissamccarthy. https://t.co/xhq0iXwmPx
