FOREWORD BY ERNIE HUDSON

Recognised as the most in-depth account into the making of Ghostbusters, the retrospective documentary CLEANIN’ UP THE TOWN: Remembering Ghostbusters is a global hit. The film has 5-star reviews from audiences worldwide and holds a 100% ‘fresh’ status on Rotten Tomatoes.

The extensive interviews with cast and crew are presented here for the first time in their entirety. Including a wealth of material from the cutting-room floor. Actors: Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts, alongside director Ivan Reitman, producers Joe Medjuck and Michael C. Gross, visual effects gurus Richard Edlund and John Bruno and many more, make up a collection of 56 contributors who share previously untold stories from the making of the cinematic classic. In CLEANIN’ UP THE TOWN: Remembering Ghostbusters, a cast and crew’s memoir of Ghostbusters are presented around the personal story of the making of the ambitious documentary.

The independent production was 12 years in the making, and led the UK based siblings, director Anthony Bueno and producer Claire Bueno, on their own odyssey to get the film across the finishing line.

Having also secured new interviews including Jason Reitman, Reginald VelJohnson and Joe Cirillo, this is your invite to nestle among 56 members of the cast and crew, as you’re taken scene by scene through the making of the ’84 classic comedy horror, as told in their own words.

This book is the most forensic deep-dive into the making of Ghostbusters and a fascinating insight into the ambitious film-making period of the 1980s. So whether you’re a Gozer worshipper or a filmmaking enthusiast, CUTT: A cast and crew’s memoir of Ghostbusters is thankful that 40 years on ‘print is not dead.’

The ultimate guide to an 80s classic

Richard Latto · 5 stars
It was a pleasure to edit this superb book. It really leaves no stone unturned and is the definitive story of the making of the movie and a real time-capsule of the movie industry. Not to mention the most significant interview with Harold [Ramis] I’ve ever read.
