They sent an email to subscribers announcing new merch. In it there is a brief update on Too Hot To Handle: "As you know we have been working diligently away on TOO HOT TO HANDLE: Remembering Ghostbusters II. The good news is that the film is now complete, and we couldn’t be prouder or more excited for you to see it!
The next stage before we can release it to the world is completing legal clearances, insurance and final sound and picture post-production. This is not something we can do in-house and as we experienced with Cleanin’ Up The Town, it is without doubt the costliest part of the process. "
Those on the subscriber list were sent an email that included a brief update, “We are unable to say too much at present about Too Hot To Handle other than we remain in a very good place. The film is complete, so we are now deep into the legal aspects of the film, which for a film like this, is complex and time consuming. Be assured we continue to put all our efforts into bringing you the best and most complete film into the making of Ghostbusters II. Thank you for bearing with us.”
Claire will be signing books at Blake’s Heaven in Putney, London on August 23 from 11am as well. The SOS Ghostbusters will be present, too.
In an email newsletter, they announced a softcover edition for Cleaning Up The Town. Releases November 26. ISBN is 978-1-806547-15-9. Will be available through Amazon, The Great British Book Shop, or their site.
What a fun event! GB/GB2 sculptor and puppeteer Mark Siegel joined us. Everyone in attendance really seemed to enjoy the Slimer-focused clip from the Too Hot to Handle GB2 doc. Claire also confirmed she’s working on the massive Too Hot to Handle GB2 book! Bonus! :love:
Claire and Anthony have a really cool discussion series coming up called WHO YA GONNA CALL- LIVE! A monthly show featuring cast/crew/creatives from the original GB films.
The first scheduled guests are Bill Bryan, followed by Mark Bryan Wilson and Mark Siegel.
The idea grew out of the really fun watch party we had with the Cleanin’ doc a few months ago with Mark Siegel. There were a lot of really cool stories, Q&A, even a peek into his archive of GB history!
Cool! But I saw each one you have to pay for/or pay for an annual sub and it’s on Discord. I’m on the fence, I have to really think about it. And it would really have to be someone they missed out on getting on the docs.
This is probably my most anticipated release at the moment. Even with the original film being covered so extensively in the past, I still really enjoyed the first documentary. With more room for new information, I may end up enjoying this one even more.
It’s just great to see GB2 getting a nice treatment. Some days, I think I find it to be the most fun out of all the films.
