Ive been thinking that he should have some kind of role in GB3. One idea i had was that since the GB’s are going to batte Hades, he could be the one who brings Hades into New York.
(Hades or Satan, one of the two. Hence “Ghostbusters in Hell” working name)
Nah, I think Peck should stay out. He didn’t even have that decent of a roll in the game. I can’t see…25+ years later him still being in the EPA… :vinzclortho:
Like maybe he’s even all bushly and possibly homeless or a complete wreck who somehow blaims his career and life failure on the Ghostbusters, so has no other agenda accept to go after them.
I like what they did with Jack Hardemeyer in the Tokyopop Ghostbusters comic, showing him as a failure after the events of Ghostbsusters 2, jobless and going between soup kitchens, all the time cursing the names of the Ghostbusters, eventually scheming against them.
I could see them expanding on this in GB3, either with Hardemeyer or Peck. They’re basically the same guy.
I dont think they should. He was alright for the first movie and a good plot tool for the video game but I dot think he should return unless they make it worth it.
If they’re going with hellebtn or not I’m not entirely sure. However Aykroyd has already mentioned in passing his cross dimensional traveling idea for this film which was a MAJOR plot point to Hellbent, creating a device that would allow you to slip from one world to the other or from our plane to Hell. I imagine the script WILL take point from Aykroyd’s draft, however with new writters and some fresh mids we wont get the same story at all.
it’d be nice to see him with a really minor role. maybe he’s a complete nut-bag now, with a belief in the paranormal, warning new yorkers of the second coming of stay puft.
Or vice verse, as he’s a leading EPA-bureaucrat, Peck eventually becomes the first Green-Party-Member being elected major of New York City – which is of course celebrated like a second landing on the moon by his comrades – and (ab)uses his new powers to finally crush his Nemesis.
His supporters in this case would also provide a base for spoofs, especially as the CP-USA is used to support the Greens. Imagine Venkman arguing with an absolutely over-weighted commie, who rejects the existence of ghosts by usage of Marx’s Opium-theory (“Faith into the supernatural is the Opium of the depressive.”). - But that’s maybe a too bit specialized humor. :walterpeck:
