I haven’t read the book, but I’ve seen all of the interviews. There’s a lot of meat here! Ivan’s original pitch, Harold’s memories of Martha’s Vineyard, the last shot at BOSS… new stories and details on the entire production. The number 1 Christmas boutique gift item of 2024!
And now also on the Bueno website:

So just waiting on Amazon…
Am I blind or is there no digital ebook option? In 2024? I could be blind but I just don’t see it.
Far be it from me to tell someone how to do things but generally speaking the idea is for the most amount of people possible to be able to purchase your product. Right? Or maybe that changed? After all you still can’t buy Extreme Ghostbusters on digital.
If anyone finds an ebook version I’d appreciate a link. Print is suppose to be dead!
Amazon link is: https://www.amazon.com/CLEANIN-UP-TOWN-Remembering-Ghostbusters/dp/183690343X
But so far the only seller is the Great British Bookshop and their price is $58.
Just got an email. Due to requests, they will now offer a signed version of the book until February 7 with an estimated dispatch the week of February 26.
Ohhh I thought this was a documentary, not a book :lol:
ha ha heh heh… yeah. We still waiting on Too Hot To Handle. 2025, hope springs eternal.
“I thought Cleanin’ Up the Town was a man?”
“It’s whatever it wants to be”. 
Your eyes are going to pop out of your head (much like the ILM Slimer)! Mine certainly did. :love:
That’s great to hear! So you’ve seen a full cut of it and things are going pretty smoothly in post?
Yes to both! :love:
My current top 5 reveals from the Cleanin’ Up The Town book:
On page 277, Dan Aykroyd shared he had this idea for Winston in the third movie (no context of when he had this idea), And “in the third movie I wanted to make him our lawyer because of all these environmental problems, we sent him to law school.”
On pages 353-354, Neil Krepela recounts how Radio City Music Hall was a real pain to the crew about letting them film on their roof. Radio City kept stalling them, then eventually required them to take out a $12 million or so insurance policy to set up their camera and they had to get filming done before the restaurants opened. On the day, the film crew was directed to the back service elevator because the staff didn’t want people in the building to see them. The film crew then had to haul everything up many stairs to the roof. I believe this is for the ghosts let of of the ECU scene. I’ve heard of the RCA building but never heard of them using Radio City. Anyone recognize the shot?
On page 359, they reveal they found the shooting location for the prison scene in GB1. It was indeed the former New York Police Headquarters on 240 Centre Street. The Buenos asked Derek Osborn, who had the call sheet. On page 361, Joe Cirillo (Police Captain) happened to be detailed there (he had a career as a cop in addition to acting) and also confirmed that was 240 Centre Street.
On page 544, Reginald VelJohnson revealed he had one more scene but it got cut. It was before his scene in the movie and in his words was a little interaction with Peter, Ray, and Egon.
On page 552, Michele Moen told her Bill Murray story. Bill Murray visited Boss Films. One morning, he went up to the matte room and stood behind matte artist Michele Moen as she painted and pretended to slip and fall into her painting, while holding a large coffee.

Not immediately. The tower above Radio City appears too short to have achieved this shot:
-I’d be willing to guess this was shot on top of The Rock itself.
This shot was filmed approximately on or around 455 Madison Avenue:
It wouldn’t surprise me if it was for a bit of footage that ended up on the cutting room floor, they might’ve shot a load of views of the city for the ECU breakout montage, only to use a few that had the most interesting compositions. :whatever:

Nice to have that one confirmed. 
True, and also previously we knew they shot on top of the RCA Building for the montage.

Wholeheartedly agree on that.
Too Hot To Handle is complete and the team is entering into legals and final post-production.
WE’RE BACK with twice the know-how and twice the production material to deal with all your GB2 curiosity needs! :love:
Hello all. Just curious, might there be any updates on this? Is there a chance we might see this in 2025? Or at least a teaser. Some sort of footage would be just great. Something to tide us impatient fans over. Just a crumb? A crumb of footage?
I gotta see this bad boy. If this is half as good as the first doc? I salivate at the prospect.
