Paul Feig Promises an Extra 15 Minutes in Bluray/DVD Release of Ghostbusters

While the film has just been released today, Ghostbusters 2016 is already one of the most controversial films of not just 2016, but of the past recent years. From negative reactions to its trailers, to the backlash for the film even being made, it’s been nonstop.

With the film gathering a certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, it seems the tide may be turning. Now it’s being reported that there will be more busting when the film releases on Bluray/DVD.

Director Paul Feig told Collider,

“The editor’s first cut was four hours and 15 minutes, and I trimmed that down to a slim 3 and a half hours. I knew I had to bring this down under two hours. You just start weeding and saying, ‘What do people want to delve deeper into and what do we wanna just kind of skirt through and get to the fun parts?

Feig concluded by stating,

“It’s actually some stuff that we finished the VFX on just because we wanted to have this nice-looking extended cut too, so it was very kind of the studio to let us finish all of that.”

Are fans of the film looking forward to a 2 hour cut of the film when it hits shelves sometime this fall/winter? Comment Below.
