‘Ghostbusters’ Ultimate Collection Trailer Previews the 20+ Hours of Rare and Never Seen Extras! [Video]

As we learned late last year, Sony will be releasing the Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection on February 1, 2022, presented in collectible “ghost trap” packaging with lights, and including a full 220-page reprint of the rare 1985 “Making Ghostbusters” book. The collection will include Ghostbusters (1984), Ghostbusters II and last year’s new movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

The set will also be loaded up with new extras, including an extremely rare 114-minute “Preview Cut” of the original film (presented in Standard Definition) and lost Dana Barrett audition footage with several prominent actresses that all lost out to Sigourney Weaver, including Pet Sematary‘s Denise Crosby, Weird Science‘s Kelly LeBrock, and more.

The “Preview Cut” of the film is said to be an unearthed early cut with “alternate takes, additional scenes, early effects” and more. We’re also being promised 20+ hours of rare and never-seen extras, including raw dailies and deleted scenes from the original films. That includes 19 deleted scenes from Ghostbusters II, including the Eugene Levy footage!

Lastly, before we dig into the full extra feature breakdown, it’s worth noting that Sony Home Entertainment has made a last-minute decision to include a Digital Download of Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters (2016). As of this writing, there is no physical component.
