London-based Kew Media Distribution has announced six titles for Cannes and the long awaitedGhostbustersdocumentary is on the list. The project was started over eight years ago by brother and sister team Anthony and Claire Bueno, who have sought to make the definitive documentary onGhostbusters. It’s been an uphill battle, but it looks like all of their hard work has paid off.
OriginalGhostbustersstars Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Ivan Reitman, are just some of the familiar faces featured inCleanin' Up The Town. They tell the story behind the franchise while also getting into the possible reasons it’s adored by so many while showing off the behind-the-scenes magic too.
