One of the big things Atari was touting to us at NY Comic Con this year about the upcoming Ghostbusters game was everyone from the movies lending their voice talents to the game. I guess their definition of “everyone” doesn’t match when the dictionary things. Signorney Weaver said no to reprising her role as Dana Barrett, so Alyssa Milano will be stepping in.
“Obviously, fans of the movie are going to miss Sigourney Weaver,” said Milano, who was offered the part of the game’s leading lady after Weaver declined to reprise her role as Dana Barrett. “I have so much respect for that character in the movie that I hope I do the position that she is in justice. I was just flattered to be asked to be part of ‘Ghostbusters’.”
You know, I’m not too upset here. While I don’t have first hand knowledge of the game’s story, I can’t imagine Dana Barrett being a big enough part for it to take me out of the experience. She’s been possessed and had her baby bring back an evil demon, so what else is left for her?
