The cast list of Ghostbusters (2016)

Is there a way to correct the credits for Brian Baumgartner, Justin Kirk, Elizabeth Perkins, and Lesley Nicol in Ghostbusters 2016? Their scenes were cut from the theatrical release but were restored in the extended cut, where they are credited.

IMDb only lists casts for the original theatrical release. I can't find the section of the guide that deals with this but there are several high profile movies where scenes were cut from the original and restored in later editions and unless the separate edition gets separate listing like Zack Snyder's Justice League, the cast of other editions aren't listed.

Ghostbusters (2016) lists the names as uncredited. If only the original version is considered and they were not in it, they should not be listed at all. But there are examples where credits for extended versions are allowed, see the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

@Peter_pbn​ That's probably true even though the guide is not all the clear about it and maybe needs to be updated.

Hi @adrian​ - I'm just circling back to this older post to confirm that I have requested further clarity regarding the eligibility of these 'extended version" credits in our Help Guides. Cheers!

Hi, @Michelle. I apologize for reopening this old thread, but what was the final decision on this point? I have recently come across a couple of cases similar to the one commented by the OP and would like to know if I should delete the names of people who only participated in the extended version of the film. Thank you very much! P.S. I would post here, as I usually do, the screenshots to properly explain the matter (as well as other pending issues I want to discuss, but I prefer to wait for Sprinklr to finish once and for all with the web maintenance tasks...).
