The long-awaited making-of documentary Too Hot To Handle: Remembering Ghostbusters II has wrapped after an eight-year production journey, reports Deadline.
The sequel to doc Cleanin’ Up The Town: Remembering Ghostbusters (2019) features interviews with Dan Aykroyd, the late Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, the late director and producer Ivan Reitman, and ILM’s Dennis Muren, to name a few.
The movie will include a score from film and TV vet Randy Edelman, who scored Ghostbusters II. Edelman is bringing his live music show to the UK this month, and it will include extracts of the score.
UK filmmakers Anthony and Claire Bueno are behind the documentary, whose production was delayed by the pandemic and health complications. The aim is to officially launch the film at a festival and/or market this fall, notes the site.
As for sales, Laurence Gornall’s Unannounced Film Company has boarded world rights. Unannounced previously handled Cleanin’ Up The Town, which performed well on the Amazon special interest video chart in 2020 and the U.S. iTunes chart in 2021.
“Set five years after the events of the first film, in Ghostbusters II, the group has been sued and put out of business after the destruction caused during their battle with the deity Gozer the Gozerian. When a new paranormal threat emerges, the Ghostbusters reunite to combat it and save the world.
“It was a bumpy journey to screen, with it taking time for the studio, creatives, and cast to get on the same page, and then production reportedly rushed, and large sections of the film were scrapped after poorly received test screenings,” notes Deadline. “Re-shoots took place just months before release.”
This documentary should be nothing short of crossing-the-streams explosive.
