And Sean, I liked Jessica not so much for the humor but for how you presented her in a bit more adult tone compared to Christina and Stephanie, just like how Venkman was the more grownup/cynnic/realist of the original trio.
Cool. Well, Donna will be just the same, only ten times better. No one gets more adult than Donna Kymberleigh--I promise you that. Haha!
The only roles I think will change as a result of the new cast will be J.G.'s and mine. J.G. is going to represent a side of Ray Stantz that we saw a tad bit of from that "dream sequence" in the first movie (you know, when the ghost starts unbuckling his pants?). Not in THAT sense, but more in terms of having a sort of romantic interest with some of the beautiful female ghosts that he encounters on the job.
As for me, since I'm now the counterpart of Egon Spengler (and not Winston Zeddemore, as in the original version of my story), I'll try to make myself out to be a much more eccentric, intelligent, and witty version of him. The biggest inside joke to this is that Harold Ramis wrote the script to Ghostbusters along with Dan Aykroyd, and in the end, he became what he wrote. I honestly couldn't imagine anyone else taking on that role other than him.
Speaking of Winston Zeddemore, I finally found my counterpart for him in my new, revamped story. Her name is Gina Ferraro, and she has just as close of a history with the Ghostbusters franchise than the rest of us do.
Proof of that is
here,
here, and
here!
Gina's version of Winston Zeddemore will be no different from Ernie Hudson. She's just as much no-nonsense as he was in the films, but also light-hearted, dedicated, and sarcastic as he turned out to be in the animated series (for anyone who has seen the episodes "Ghostbuster of the Year" and "Lost and Foundry", you'll see where I'm driving at).
According to our MySpace pages, it seems like the two female members of our new team are the oldest, while the males are the youngest. I just found this interesting since Donna K is the oldest of the four of us.
Much of the same secrets of the story will be there in the new version and the villain is the same one I intended for it to be in the original. The only difference is my approach to explaining who it might be until the very end of the story.
A sequel is still planned for this story, as well as a possible ongoing series. We'll just have to wait and see how things turn out.
But for now, the team is all set and I'm ready to get to working on the new, revamped "Who Ya Gonna Call?" for Stranger Than Muppet Fan Fiction.
