While Sony is now on their second attempt at rebooting the beloved
Ghostbusters franchise, the first two classic films are getting remastered in 4K Ultra HD.
The new steelbook featuring both
Ghostbusters and
Ghostbusters II will come with a slew of bonus features, previously rare and unreleased deleted scenes, outtakes, cast and director commentary, and more.
The first film will come with six "rare and newly unearthed deleted scenes," including the long-requested
Fort Detmerring scenes for which only a tiny portion was actually kept in the final version (you may recall a bit in the montage where Ray is laying in bed and a female ghost is hovering above him).
Also included is a 19484 ShoWest Exhibitor Reel featuring Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd. This clip was initially sent to ShoWest (now known as CinemaCon), a convention where theater owners would gather to get a look at upcoming films to potentially book for their screens. In the 12-minute long clip, which EW posted a snippet from, Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd offer quite the sales pitch for
Ghostbusters, referring to it as "perhaps the greatest comedy motion picture of all time."
Check out everything included int he new 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray release of
Ghostbusters and
Ghostbusters II.
