Leslie Jones on harmissaan palkastaan vuoden 2016 Ghostbustersissa

Paul Feig ohjasi vuonna 2016 elokuvan Ghostbusters, joka ei sitten kaikista kohuista huolimatta menestynyt odotetusti. Leffassa nähtiin myös Leslie Jones, joka ei ole silloiseen palkkaukseensa tyytyväinen.

Leslie Jones esitti Patty Tolania, ja on nyt paljastanut kirjassaan "Leslie F*cking Jones: A Memoir" saaneensa roolistaan vain 150 000 dollaria, ja että alkuperäinen tarjous oli 67 000 dollaria. Vastaavasti Melissa McCarthy kuittasi työstään Ghostbustersissa 14 miljoonaa dollaria.

"It was made clear to me at times during the process that I was lucky to even be on that movie, but honestly, I was thinking, 'I don't have to be in this muthafucka,' especially as I got paid way less than Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig."

"No knock on them, but my first offer was to do that movie for $67,000. I had to fight to get more (in the end I got $150K), but the message was clear: 'This is gonna blow you up — after this, you're made for life,' all that kind of shit, as though I hadn't had decades of a successful career already."
