Do you see Ernie Hudson in the poster of the 1984 original Ghostbusters?

, Hudson said, “The studio wasn’t [inclusive], and the studio continued not to be.

“So it made it very, very difficult because I was a part of it but then I very selectively was pushed aside … In the original script, Winston was in the very beginning of the movie. By the time we got ready to shoot the movie, Winston came in halfway through the movie. All those things … It definitely felt deliberate.”publicity campaign: He was not featured in the theatrical poster. He was again left out in the 30th-anniversary poster. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Despite not being included in the promos, Hudson is"so thankful" to the fans who identified with his character. He continued:"When the posters came out, I’m not on the poster. It took a long time. I went to the 30th-anniversary release of the movie and all the posters are three guys.

You don’t want to go there. That’s the last thing I want to do. I got nothing bad to say about anybody but it was hard.was really hard to make peace with.
