Ghostbusters director Paul Feig has pleaded with the BBC to correct an “injustice” on a quiz show that included a question about his movie.
When game show hopeful John appeared on Decimate, hosted by Shane Richie, and faced a question about who played Dr Erin Gilbert in Paul’s reboot of the classic film, he correctly chose Kristen Wiig.
However, he was told he was wrong and failed to protect £2,000.
He was told Melissa McCarthy played Erin in the film but Paul, who is also responsible for hit films Bridesmaids and Spy, was quick to call out the show’s mistake.
However, after Paul intervened, Shane joked it was a deliberate ruse to get himself a role in a Ghostbusters sequel.
So will Shane soon be strapping on a proton pack? We can’t wait to find out!
