Is this for real?

Yeah the double movie logo is a bit funky, but the article mentions deleted scenes for GB II!

3

AJ was this the big breaking news for tomorrow?

4

Yes.

5

Ohhh..well it’s awesome news. Glad to see that both movies will be mastered in 4k!

6

I can’t wait to strap these to my back!

7

These better hit the UK

8

This is excellent news!!

I missed the chance to see it in theatre as a child, so I am hoping I will be able to catch it now :slight_smile:

And the blu ray is amazing also!

Too bad they couldn’t redo it in 3D like they did to Top Gun

9

Yep, this just made my day.

10

Oh happy day!

11

This looks awesome! I am excite!

12

This is FANTASTIC news! Can’t wait to see the GBII deleted scenes!

13

This really did make my day! Now I finally get to see GB2 in 1080P!!! Plus deleted scenes and new interviews, can’t wait!

14

Oh my ■■■■■■■ god.

I cant ■■■■■■■ belive it. Finaly our prayers are comming true. GB2 on Blue Ray. Even if I have allready the BR Version of GB1 Im gonna by the set. This is so amazing

15

Hell yeah!!!

16

That is the news I’m most excited for. I’ll be at my local theater in full uniform, along with some fellow Portland Ghostbusters, I’m sure!

Just hope it’s a real 35mm film print and not a crappy 4K video projection.

17

Oh yes can’t wait for this…bustin makes me feel good. :slight_smile:

18

It isn’t cost effective to produce 700+ 35mm transfers for a 1 week release. So it will likely be 4K.

19

So does this mean we’ll finally see the scene that was supposed to be after they see Vigo’s painting for the first time and Ray ends up possessed driving around New York like a maniac?

20

Man, I’m pumped! :cool:

I have a digital copy of GB2 in HD from when it was aired on HDNET, but it’ll be great to finally see those deleted scenes! The new interviews should be exciting, and both flicks are in 4K, so that’s awesome too!! :smiley:

I just wish I didn’t JUST buy the 4K Blu-Ray of GB1 last month now, I had a feeling something like this would happen what with the 30/25 anniversary. Ahh, the pressure of getting new home theater gear and wanting to watch something cool on it. :whatever:
