Every wondered why no one has ever made a major documentary about Ghostbusters? I have, mostly because I’ve often thought, “Hey, I should make a documentary”, then I realize my life is stupid busy. And I don’t own a camera. Or have any spare budget. At which point I go, “Hey, why has no one ever made a major documentary about Ghostbusters?”
Well, wonder no more. Someone is! And they’re taking it very, very seriously.
It’s still mid-production (and may not be completed before the 25th anniversary year is over), but already they’ve spoken to a lot of the people involved in the production of both films, including Ernie Hudson and large chunks of the effects team. And they will be interviewing Dan Aykroyd himself soon. So, yeah. How serious is that?
Titled Cleaning Up The Town: Remembering Ghostbusters, the film has just started gearing up their promotions (the team has, until recently, been focused on their first documentary, Beware the Moon: Remembering An American Werewolf In London, due out on DVD this Summer), but you can hop aboard early by joining their Facebook group!

i remember hearing about the AWIL doco. They maybe putting it on the Blu ray. Aww dammit now I wish they’d delay the GB blu ray so this doco could be included. Lord knows it needs some fresh comprehensive extras.
Any word if we can donate to them? Through PayPal? I would like to contribute, help the cause, ya know?
as much of my life is film oriented, and i love docu’s, i love love love this idea
*Man, I’m just going to have to start selling vital organs on the black market to keep up with all this new stuff, aren’t I? ;P…
*Seriously, I’ve got TONS of rare material [and obscure knowledge], I wonder if there’s a way to contribute to this? Knowing my luck they probably won’t have any need for anything else considering how far along they are
…
*Cheers.
Lanny, I spoke with the one guy, Anthony, Super nice guy. I would at least contact him via facebook.
