Definitive ‘Ghostbusters’ Documentary ‘Cleanin’ Up The Town: Remembering Ghostbusters’ Heads to Cannes
Two years after being announced, the latest Ghostbusters documentary is heading to Cannes.
ScreenDaily reports that London-based sales outfit Kew Media Distribution has added six titles to its slate ahead of Cannes, including a feature documentary charting the making of the original Ghostbusters.
Cleanin’ Up The Town: Remembering Ghostbusters features Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Ivan Reitman, and recounts the story behind the cult 1984 comedy.
Anthony Bueno directs the feature doc, which was produced by Claire Bueno, Derek Osborn and Hank Starrs. It features 46 interviews with cast and crew alongside never-before-seen archive material. Kew holds worldwide rights.
When originally announced, it was said that the film was eight years in the making and would be the definitive documentary that charts how Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2 came to fruition and how these films were made by the people that made them.
They promised that interviews include actors in the film from Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, and Sigourney Weaver to Annie Potts, David Margulies, William Atherton, Kurt Fuller and Jason Reitman, with Director Ivan Reitman, Producer Michael C. Gross, Visual Effects crew including Richard Edlund, Terry Windell, Dennis Muren and Steve Johnson, musicians Ray Parker Jr and The Bus Boys.
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
