Dan Aykroyd Defends ‘Ghostbusters’ 2016 All-Female Reboot: “It Works Really Great”


After the movie was panned at the time, Dan Aykroyd spoke out in defense of the 2016 all-female reboot of his 1984 movie 'Ghostbusters'.

Despite its initial reception, the Academy Award nominee recently defended the 2016 female-led reboot of his 1984 comedy classic Ghostbusters as a movie “that you want to watch again.” So I go on the record as saying I’m so proud to have been able to license that movie and have a hand and have a part in it, and I’m fully supportive of it, and I don’t besmirch it at all. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis in Ghostbusters(1984).
