Director Jason Reitman's GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE will be reaching theatres on July 10, 2020, but audiences in the UK will have the chance to watch a different GHOSTBUSTERS project on the big screen several months before that.
Coming to UK cinemas on January 7th is CLEANIN' UP THE TOWN: REMEMBERING GHOSTBUSTERS, a documentary from the sibling duo of Anthony and Claire Bueno. The result of twelve years of research and production, CLEANIN' UP THE TOWN is described as "the definitive retrospective documentary" and is said to pay "a fitting tribute to the whole creative team behind the global phenomenon that continues to enchant audiences to this day."
The 100 minute documentary
charts the making of the original 1984 GHOSTBUTERS, featuring interviews with director Ivan Reitman, and lead cast Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson. In addition, the documentary hallmarks the extraordinary achievements made by the filmmakers working in visual effects era before the game-changing JURASSIC PARK. It reveals a story of ingenuity, innovation and emphasises just how ambitious an undertaking the making of GHOSTBUSTERS really was.
With the original film having made a lasting impact since childhood, director Anthony Bueno has assembled a comprehensive documentary for both fans and film lovers alike. It contains a wealth of insightful interviews with cast and crew alongside never before seen archive material much from the personal collections of members of the creative team themselves, it’s a lasting testament to the craft of filmmaking teamwork and inventive puppeteering when faced with adverse time constraints and all manner of technical challenges that have enabled GHOSTBUSTERS to retain such a perpetually popular international appeal.
Following the January 7th theatrical release, CLEANIN' UP THE TOWN will be arriving on VOD courtesy of Kew Media Distribution on January 27th. Then a DVD/Blu-ray release is expected to be available in March, from Screenbound. That will include an extended, two hour version of the documentary.
