Sigourney Weaver did not sign on board because she questioned the game's quality. When she did see it, she wanted to be involved, but it was too late, which opened the door for Alyssa Milano's character. Can you comment on Sigourney Weaver's decision and Alyssa Milano's character?

I respect Sigourney's view towards protecting the quality of the first movie, and the good things that were in the second movie. She's been watching out for her and our legacy a little bit, which is understandable. Had she seen it early on, she would have wanted to be involved. But the Alyssa Milano character leads us to a new generation, it's a new story, and when we do the Ghostbusters 3 movie, hopefully, Sigourney will be in, I know. We'll make that happen.

So we might see a full-on reunion, either in the game or the movie?

…there'll be a whole new generation that has to be trained. And that whole new generation will be led by an individual that you'll all love when you hear who it is, but I'm not going to tell you now. There will be lots of cadets, boys and girls, who'll be learning how to use the cyclotron, the accelerators, and the new stuff. The nuon splitter, the inter-planar interceptor, all these great tools they're going to have to flip from dimension to dimension. Anyway. Game number two, maybe.

Would you get involved with more games?

I have two incredible, what I think are great, cool, science fiction stories right now, and I think I'm just going to skip the movies altogether. I'm going to find some gamers, maybe go with these guys again, and build…I've got the scripts, I'll just give them the scripts and say 'pretend this movie got made.' Today, games make movies!

You seem like a pretty busy guy. Do you play games at all, now they they're such a part of the entertainment industry?

My gaming experience extends to the FAT system, which is the Firearms Training system used by the Secret Service and law enforcement agencies in America. I've trained on that several times, I'm a reserve commander in Louisiana, I've been there on the same department for ten years through two chiefs, reappointed after Katrina. The FAT system gets your adrenaline up there. Guys are shooting back at you, and when you drop someone, you're dropping a real human being, and you get the weight and the gravity of what that is rather than an animated figure. But of course, that was all developed out of video game technology.
