The cries of die hard Ghostbusters fans over the decades have been heard. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is finally opening up their containment unit and delivering long-requested archival footage that has never been publicly released.
This new material will come packaged in the upcoming limited edition Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2 30th Anniversary edition 4K Ultra HD Steelbook set, arriving on stores on June 11th.
Before I delve into the extras, Sony has restored and remastered both original Ghostbusters films from the respective original camera negatives. In addition to a 4K presentation with HDR, both films will also feature Dolby Atmos audio.
