Emma Stone On Why She Passed On "Ghostbusters"

Written by Huzaifa Khan on June 19, 2015.

From the very moment word came out that Sony wanted to make a female-led Ghostbusters reboot, Emma Stone's name was suggested more than most. Sony and director Paul Feig also thought Stone would make a good Ghostbuster and in a recent interview the actress reveals that she passed on it and shares why.

"The script was really funny,” Stone told The Wall Street Journal. “It just didn’t feel like the right time for me. A franchise is a big commitment — it’s a whole thing. I think maybe I need a minute before I dive back into that water.”

Stone understands the commitments franchises can demand of their actors as she was a part of The Amazing Spider-Man franchise.

Paul Feig's Ghostbusters is due in theaters July 22, 2016. The cast includes: Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.
