Great news. Hoping they include all deleted scenes of Ghostbusters 2, sinc eit looks they won't include all the deleted scenes of Ghostbusters 1. Fingers crossed....

Man I'm keen to find out what the GB2 deleted scenes are and how many!

Does someone already know the size of the Slimer statue in the limited edition gift set? I'd love to have it fit with my 12" Matty Collector GB2 figures.

And does someone perhaps know the price of this limited edition set?

$100 for this set? Man, that's steep.

It may be me, but I can't find a price on that site.

Anybody an idea of the size of the Slimer bust?

This is great news. Looking forward to seeing the deleted scenes from Ghostbusters II and the discussion with Aykroyd and Reitman. I've now lost count of how many times I've purchased these films. Oh well, another one to add to the ever expanding collection.

I would have liked a commentary track for Ghostbusters II and the Ghostbusters II featurette but I suppose you can't have it all.

Super excited for this. Can't wait to finally have GB2 on Blu-ray.

Also, really hoping we get a list of theaters that will be showing the rerelease soon. I've got some planning to do...

Does anybody out there know yet if the super wonder gift set has anything extra in it beyond the GB1 and 2 set besides the Slimer statue?

Weird. The reversed international logo is used as the "O" on the cover of the first film solo disc.

I've been wondering this too. The last time it got a re-release, it was with AMC theaters I think. I really hope that's not the case this time.

I noticed there's been no mention of an Ecto-1A restoration along with all the Ghostbusters II buzz. Last we heard Sony had placed the car in safer keeping after so many people asked to buy it when it was seen outside the backlot.
Wasn't AJ planning to make a presentation to Sony about fans restoring the car at some point?

Also, very disappointed in the box art. Why can't the cover artists stick to the classic logos? The mix of both just looks plain silly and unnecessary.

They already restored the 1A back in 2009 didn't they? They took it to E3 to promote the video game. Or was that a different Ecto?

I just watched this interview with Ernie Hudson.



He mentions that the theatrical re-release of Ghostbusters will include some additional scene. Has anyone else heard this? Will this version be what is included in this set? Is Ernie confused? Did I hear it wrong?

He states it pretty clearly, and it's an unusual thing to make up out of thin air. But it seems very unlikely.

Still, editing in some of the deleted material would be an easy, cheap way to generate some interest (sales) of the re-release.

But it still seems very unlikely.

It would also be unnessisary in the case of the first film. The deleted scenes for that film, amusing as they are, don't make for a better movie.

Now if they released GB2 with some deleted footage I'd start getting excited.

M. Thunder, the original Ecto-1 was restored in 2009.

Ecto-1A from Ghostbusters II was also intended for restoration at the same time. Pictures even exist of both in the workshop, but as far as I've come to understand the money ran out so the restoration was scrapped/delayed to an unknown date. The lack of restoration was then evident in 2013 when the stripped bare Ecto-1A was spotted on the Sony lot.

I send the people at http://www.ghostbustersstore.com/ an email with some questions about the statue (haven´t got any reply yet). Now I´m looking at the site and they removed the blurays from the store... weird, because amazon has them already listed.

I think he was pretty clear. Especially when he said, "I'm always reluctant to say anything because people keep accosting me at conventions with video cameras looking for 'breaking' news and my thoughts seem to constantly be on record."

This was their reply:

"Hello Maurice,

I am really sorry looks like this item is not available in your country and we do not have any information as to when it's going to be available.
Sincerely,
Marichu
MyPlay Direct"

So first I was able to see the item and click add to card (yet this function didn't work). Now I can't even see the item at all and they tell me it's unavailable for the Netherlands.

The back of the statue is mwah... Looks like they didn't even finish the red of the sign on the back. Expensive statue, I'm still doubting more and more if I should buy the ridiculous expensive set with Slimer statue....

In fairness, the statue wouldn't really have been intended to be viewed from that angle. As long as the paint job looks okay when viewed from the front, I believe it can be forgiven.

That's unusual, as typically officially released Blu Rays from the US are Region A, and European releases are Region B... (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc about halfway down)... Cool thing if it is indeed Region Free...

Well, it's weird for amazom.COM site which is mostly US based/focused to include a lot of European languages on this release. So I really think it will be region free.

Most Blu-rays are region free, both of the previous Ghostbusters releases were region free.
