Dan Aykroyd Promises ‘Ghostbusters 2’ Blu-ray, Teases Extras
Sony hates us when it comes to home video. They’ve dumped greats like the [REC] films on DVD (no Blu-ray), and even used a damaged transfer of Ghostbusters for that HD release (without ever fixing it). Now, years after being pulled from release, Sony Home Entertainment is finally slated to release Ghostbusters 2 on Blu-ray.
Dan Aykroyd revealed on Twitter that the long-gestured HD release is “definitely” coming and will rock a few new extras including a commentary track. While this is exciting news, it would be nice if they provided a “new” transfer of the first film so we don’t have to watch half of it with discolored pixels draping the picture.
In Ghostbusters 2, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson make the discovery of a massive river of ectoplasm and a resurgence of spectral activity allows the staff of Ghostbusters to revive the business.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Tim Burton’s sci-fi movie Mars Attacks!, and IGN has announced this afternoon that the film is being celebrated with a brand new 4K release.
When can you expect it? IGN reports, “Mars Attacks! will be available for purchase digitally in 4K Ultra HD and on 4K UHD Blu-ray Disc on August 11, 2026.”
Brand new Special Features for the 4K UHD release will include…
- Looking Back on Mars Attacks!
Filmmakers swap stories about working with Tim Burton.
- Ack! Ack! Aesthetic

Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks! gets the 4K Ultra HD upgrade with two different releases: the standard 4K Ultra HD release and the Limited Edition SteelBook 4K Ultra HD release.
You can pre-order both over on Amazon now.
In Tim Burton’s 1996 movie adaptation of the Mars Attacks! trading card line from Topps, Jack Nicholson stars as the President of the United States. Anything can – and does – happen as Planet Earth is plunged into complete pandemonium when Martians invade.
