Sony Pictures and Fathom Events will celebrate the 35th anniversary of Ivan Reitman's Ghostbusters with limited theatrical screenings of the film's recent 4K restoration.
Currently, Fathom Events has two screenings set for Sunday, October 6th and Thursday, October 10th.
This event features an introduction with newly unearthed and rarely seen alternate takes.
In 2016, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released the 4K restoration on 4K Blu-ray. You can see our listing and review of this release here.
Synopsis: When ghosts go on a rampage, only three men can save the world. It's Ghostbusters, starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis as a maniacal band of parapsychologists specializing in psychic phenomena - and super - natural hilarity and they are back on the big screen for a special 35th anniversary event!
Fired from university research jobs, Drs. Venkman (Murray), Stantz (Aykroyd), and Spengler (Ramis) set up shop as "Ghostbusters," ridding Manhattan of bizarre apparitions. But even the spirit exterminators are severely tested when beautiful Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) and her neighbor (Rick Moranis) become possessed by demons living in their building. Soon every spook in the city is loose and our heroes face their supreme challenge at a roof-top demonic shrine. If you want your spirits raised, who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!
