I hope you're ready to bear witness to cats and dogs living together, because there's about to be some mass hysteria on the GHOSTBUSTERS fan front. It's been revealed that the upcoming 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray release of Ivan Reitman's supernatural fantasy classic will unleash plenty of extras from containment.
The steelbook release will include both the original film as well as its sequel, GHOSTBUSTERS II (1989). Both films star Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson as a group of paranormal investigators looking to rid New York City of a growing infestation of ghosts, ghouls, and other creatures that go bump in the night. Rick Moranis, Annie Potts and Sigourney Weaver also star in both films, which in time have become a staple of pop culture the world over.

Recently, Jason Reitman announced his plans to helm a new film in the GHOSTBUSTERS franchise, with Carol Coon in talks to star alongside IT actor Finn Wolfhard and CAPTAIN MARVEL actress McKenna Grace. Reitman is set to direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with Gil Kenan. While much of the film's plot remains under wraps at this time, Reitman has stated that his Ghostbusters will focus on a family who moves back home to a small town. While there, they begin to learn more about who they are and the secrets of the town itself. The film is poised to haunt theaters in Summer 2020.
While the steelbook is set for a June 11 release, a Ghostbusters Fan Fest at the Sony Pictures lot on June 7th and 8th is also happening, in addition to an international Live Orchestra Tour for the original film throughout the end of the year.
