Leslie Jones claims cuts to 2016's Ghostbusters made the film worse
There were positives to the film, like bonding with and learning from Kate McKinnon, McCarthy, Wiig, and director Paul Feig, as well as working with the “fucking incredible” crew. “That crew deserved for y’all to see the movie we actually made. But a lot of stuff got cut for cost,” she reveals.
What was left on the cutting room floor? Character moments between Jones and McKinnon as well as McCarthy and Wiig, a lot of improv, one of her fight scenes, and a whole dance sequence for Chris Hemsworth’s character choreographed by the late Michael K. Williams. “It was like a really funny, weird version of ‘Thriller,’” she writes.
