New 'Ghostbusters' Blu-ray Steelbook Delivering Fans Rare Deleted Scenes

For more than 30 years, Ghostbusters has built a massive following, with many viewers considering it a defining comedy of the '80s. Following its theatrical release, fans would often watch it when it was broadcast on TV and likely purchased VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray versions of the film to enjoy repeat viewings. Despite the number of releases it has already earned, a new 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray release of both the original and its 1989 sequel looks to be the most comprehensive release yet, as it will come with a number of special features, including various rarely and newly unearthed scenes. The Blu-ray set hits shelves on June 11th.

The special features on the new set, as confirmed by Entertainment Weekly, are as follows:

Ghostbusters

• Six Rare & Newly Unearthed Deleted Scenes, including the long-requested Fort Detmerring scenes!
• Raw takes for the Central Park bums sequence
• 1984 ShoWest Exhibitor Reel, featuring Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd pitching an early reel of footage to theatrical exhibitors.
• Full Ghostbusters TV Commercial from the film

Earlier this year, a surprise announcement was made that Jason Reitman, son of director Ivan Reitman, would be delivering audiences a third film set within the universe of the original two films.

"I've always thought of myself as the first Ghostbusters fan, when I was a six-year-old visiting the set. I wanted to make a movie for all the other fans," Reitman shared in a statement when the project was announced. "This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the '80s happened in the '80s, and this is set in the present day."

He added, "This is very early, and I want the film to unwrap like a present. We have a lot of wonderful surprises and new characters for the audience to meet."

The new Ghostbusters Blu-ray set hits shelves on June 11th. The new Ghostbusters film is slated to hit theaters on July 11, 2020.
