On a high from the success of Ghostbusters: afterlife, Sony has announced their jam-packed box set that has some seriously amazing new special features.

This set comes fully loaded with new extras, including an extremely rare 114-minute “Preview Cut” of the original 1984 film and lost Dana Barrett audition footage with several prominent actresses that all lost out to Sigourney Weaver.


The “Preview Cut” of the film is said to be an unearthed early cut of the film with “alternate takes, additional scenes, early effects” and more.
