The Unauthorized True Story Behind The Ghostbusters Reboot

Thirty-two years after the release of the original Ghostbusters film, the long-awaited franchise revival is finally set to hit theaters in July 2016. But the process of making the third Ghostbusters movie was littered with more obstacles, controversies, and missed opportunities than fans realize.

For the first time ever, go behind the scenes of the long road to reboot with bestselling author Ian Fineman’s bombshell-loaded and refreshingly brisk recount of never-before-told tales of pre-production woes and other major revelations regarding the new all-female remake.

From Bill Murray's persistent refusals to participate (and his eventual return to the franchise), and the off-the-wall ideas Dan Aykroyd once floated for Ghostbusters 3, to the first near-confirmed crop of new celebrity Ghostbusters and how Will Ferrell almost became one of them, this completely unauthorized work is a must read for fans of the iconic film and its lasting legacy.
