Ghostbusters 4; my story & comments
***SPOILER ALERT*** = for the URL just below movie
?“They could make a scary Ghostbusters—one that’s genuinely scary, where the stakes are actually high, where people are actually killed. They could do all kinds of things.”

How Adam McKay ended ‘Don’t Look Up’ with a bang
Gee...
Someone should make more movies, like the new one explained above, where most people don't believe the warnings given by experts about bad things that will soon happen.
and bad things do happen...
And, as in this new 2021 film "Don't Look Up", if possible, the?Studio should include the amazing actress, Meryl Streep... as a sort of "spoiler"...
Maybe Ghostbusters, part 4 ????
WHOOPSIE
I already did that!
My movie plots always deal with war and peace...
See the two quotes below to read better than I can explain?what I want to convey in all of my movies.
My only problem now is how I can keep as much of my Ghostbusters 3 (2020) story as I can, while "absorbing" the actual 2021 movie.
Example: My post credit scene (If possible, with Meryl Streep - as a sort of "spoiler") should still work exactly as posted...
Oh, IF possible, I need the incredible National Youth Poet Laureate, Ms. Amanda Gorman, to be in my Ghostbusters 4 film = as sort of herself.
I'm sure that Amanda will immediately respond "yes" when I ask her, right???
"For there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it. If only we're brave enough to be it."

A similar real quote from Harold Ramis to his real daughter Violet; both the quote - and a daughter character based on - and named - Violet - are in my movie:
"We have two choices in life, Violet. We can choose fear, or we can choose love. Everything comes down to that."
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/17508293.Violet_Ramis_Stiel#:~:text=Quotes%20by%20Violet%20Ramis%20Stiel,Everything%20comes%20down%20to%20that.%E2%80%9D&text=%E2%80%9Cfundamentalism%20has%20a%20way%20of%20making%20God%20very%20small.%E2%80%9D
"Ghost" Egon is conflicted in my movie, since, to [apparently and it turns out only temporarily] overcome evil, he must physically fight?back.
This sort of "matches" what happened to Albert Einstein; a life long pacifist, he was correctly?concerned if the Nazis got an atomic bomb - since they would not hesitate to use it against us.
My story sounds?okay as it is - so far, I hope...
BUT my Ghostbusters 3 (2020) has the four women ghostbusters (from the 2016 film) - who are being ignored - and 'locked out' of - any franchise sequel.
How can I "fix" this?
Example of a fix: I could simply rename Egon's daughter?to match the character in the real 2021 movie: Callie Spengler.
As you know, in my story line, Egon's grand-daughter, Phoebe, still has a hard time finding friends, or believing?in ghosts.
So, in my part 4, when her family relocates?to New York City, Phoebe seems to invent an imaginary, invisible friend, a girl of similar age, named Kate Leone.
You know my story from there, right?
Oh, not all reviews?of the real part 3 G-B are positive; at least some question?why part 3 is a rehash of part 1 = which it?is
Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Who you gonna call? Not the people who made this
Film review: It passes the time. That’s the best we can say about Afterlife
https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/ghostbusters-afterlife-who-you-gonna-call-not-the-people-who-made-this-1.4723585
IF only part 4 had the ghost head or the New York Public Library - seen - but not part of the plot - in part 1 (1984) - as a hero in the hopefully upcoming?movie.
Since that plot line would 'fit' the franchise format?- but?not be a rehash of any previous?part...
WHOOPSIE
I?already?did that!
https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/ghostbusters-2020-scene-7-stephen-salgaller/
It would really help my plot line - and attract more viewers to my movie - if Amanda Gorman is a minority young adult woman, who is hyper-sensitive... and that She seems to be on-board with my movie's message of building a more perfect union...
Amanda?S. C.?Gorman?(born March 7, 1998) is an American poet and activist. ...?Gorman?has an auditory processing disorder and is?hypersensitive?to sound.
Amanda Gorman wrote and performed "The Hill We Climb" to celebrate the 2021 inauguration of Joe Biden as 46th President of the United States. The poem celebrates the U.S. not as a "perfect union," but?as a country that has the grit to struggle with its all-too-real problems.
Well, Afterlife director?Jason Reitman ?has made it clear he wants to see the series continue beyond his [part 3] movie. “I think it’s no secret that my father and I would love Ghostbusters mythology to keep growing from Afterlife,” he told The Digital Fix when we asked about a sequel. “We wanted to make a movie that would set the table for all kinds of Ghostbusters films.”

Afterlife Sets Up Ghostbusters 4: Will It Actually Happen?
The ending of Ghostbusters: Afterlife sets up a potential Ghostbusters 4, but will another sequel in the original continuity actually happen?
https://screenrant.com/ghostbusters-4-updates-news-story-setup/
Reviews of "Don't Look Up" are not positive; can I avoid that?
In my movie, Kate Leone needed a "meta material bio suit" - so she could interact with our world - because [spoiler alert] she's a ghost.
The same sort of technology used for the iron man exo skeleton is modified and adapted so Kate can interact with our real world.
In my movie, Kate was tired of working 16 hour days sewing clothing at a sweat shop. She wanted to grow up, go to college for fashion design in NYC,?and design her own line of clothing.?
Sadly, in 1911, at age 14, she died in the Triangle Shirt Waist Factory fire.
The Ghostbusters, along with Tony Stark Industries, and especially teen therapist [Dr.] Dana Barrett (played if possible by Sigourney Weaver), help Kate achieve her dream and goals in "life".
For my fiction, once Kate has resolved the trauma she suffered, she will be able to grow as a person.
She must learn from the past, but not dwell on what happened to her long ago.?
IF that message sounds like what I need to learn too, great.?
My back story is that the bio suit needs to be replaced once a year with a bigger model. So Kate will both grow up, and, eventually, look like an adult.?
It was Kate herself, who, in frustration, "wore" the bronze bull statue in scene 1B. That event inspired the idea to construct a "skin" so she can finally do what she planned to.?
Having a new bio suit each year allows the actress playing Kate to appear in future sequels.
Now you see why i need to watch the real part 3 Ghostbusters sequel. Can I somehow adapt my part 3 to yield a part 4 that I could try to sell to Sony Pictures?
My Ghostbusters movie had the NYC Mayor start a Community Affairs Unit...
In the last regular scene in my Ghostbusters film, recently elected NYC Mayor Dr. Winston?Zeddemore?(IF possible, again played by Mr. Ernie Hudson) promised to continue to work with the people of the city to make New York even better.
This continued work Winston did - when he was a businessman, and then as Borough Council President - to use?partnerships with local community groups - like religious, social, economic, art, health and science - to improve conditions for working class residents - not just for rich business types.
Well, guess what?
https://www1.nyc.gov/site/cau/index.page
The Mayor's Community Affairs Unit (CAU) is the fundamental connection between City Hall and New York City residents throughout the five boroughs.
The primary mission of CAU is to establish deep partnerships with communities in order to actively engage and mobilize New Yorkers in City government.
To this end CAU is directly responsible for integrating government into communities by working with Mayoral agencies to ensure the effective and efficient deployment of government services and the Mayor’s top policy priorities and initiatives.
What if actor Mr. Ernie Hudson also rewarded workers for charitable causes?
Well, guess what?

In Ghostbusters 3 (2021), there was an unexplained lack of ghosts. While a few mostly evil spirits persist, many do not. This news post could both explain why, and provide a basis for the plot of a fourth movie.
Is there an "other side" on the other side? A?reported ?shortage of ghosts in the UK has one expert speculating about what's going on—and his investigation may be raising new questions about the spirits of those who have passed on from the world of the living.
When Dr. Paul Lee of Norfolk, England, who researches the paranormal, noticed a recent drop in activity in major hotspots across the United Kingdom, he naturally wanted to know what was causing it. His conclusion: many of the ghosts may be dying—or getting as close as ghosts can, anyhow. Lee explained that the spirits' supplies of energy may actually deplete over time, making it impossible for them to re-manifest.
That's not to say the UK's haunted spots have been "ghosted" for good, however. Many ghosts that have disappeared for years have been known to reappear after a period of dormancy and recharging, noted Lee.
Ghostbusters 4 Already Has A Big Problem To Overcome
If a fourth Ghostbusters movie is to happen, it will have to overcome a big problem regarding its villains and the purpose of the team.
Ghostbusters 4?wouldn’t have almost any ghosts to justify its storyline, and the writers would have to come up with a believable (in the context of the?Ghostbusters?universe, that is) trigger for a new ghost problem that Phoebe and company can take care of.?
Not a problem or mistake for me!
In my Ghostbusters movie, ghosts *do* still exist, but people, especially New Yorkers, are so overwhelmed by reality, such as the continuing COVID-19 crisis, to notice or care.
So one of my heroes, Kate Leone, in clever frustration, "inhabits" and animates the famous bronze bull statue at the foot of Wall Street, to, in a way, call on the Ghostbusters for help.
IF you are sure that all ghosts are bad, then don't see my movie, since Kate *is* a ghost.
Also, the planet Earth, as a living "being", in her own way, *also* cries out for help from the Ghostbusters.
If you are sure that unrestricted and unrestrained capitalism is god, then again, don't see my film, since living people plundering the planet for profit is also one big reason why "ghosts" call for help from the Ghostbusters.
Note that Egon Spengler *was* a ghost, so the new movie was not 100% ghost free.
But the overall plot is that, *in general*, ghosts *seem* to be "missing" from our world.
Where could they be?
Answers in my movie: "hiding" in plain sight; and locked up - in New Jersey!

More Plot of My Part 4 Movie:
Long story short, i need actor Pete Davidson to play the part of Pete Davidson in my movie:
Born in 1993, both the real man and my character because very depressed after Pete's fireman father died while saving people on 9/11/2001.
Pete was helped by child & adolescent psychologist [Dr.] Dana Barrett, hopefully played by amazing actress Sigourney Weaver.
Dana helps Phoebe, who has trouble adapting to live in New York City.
In one scene on Staten Island, NY - just across from Manhattan, Dana and Phoebe meet Pete. Pete talks with Phoebe about how to deal with stress and loss.
Phoebe again tries to convince adults that Kate Leone, an "invisible" girl that no one else can see - or interact with, is actually - somehow - a real person - not a made up illusion...
Background and Reference Information:
Pete Davidson says his new movie helped him process death of his firefighter father in 9/11
Scott Davidson died while responding to the World Trade Center attack in 2001

Did Pete Davidson’s Father Really Die In The 9/11 Attack?
So, a New York City firefighter Scott Davidson, Pete Davidson’s father, breathed his last air in service. He was last seen running up the stairs of the Marriott World Trade Center, just before it collapsed in massive dust clouds during the September 11 attacks.
https://theparadise.ng/did-pete-davidsons-father-really-die-in-the-9-11-attack/
He was on the clock and was dispatched to the World Trade Center after a second hijacked plane hit the South Tower.
Scott’s Requiem Mass was held at St. Clare’s Roman Catholic Church in Great Kills, Staten Island.
Pete, just 7 years old at the time, had not said anything publicly about losing him, until his 15th memorial when he decided to purge on Instagram as well as Twitter with a — “Can’t believe tomorrow is going to be 15 years. Missing the legend !!! Thank u all for ur kind words and support as always .”
Since then the SNL star has been sharing how profoundly he was affected by the loss. In fact, he shared that there is not a day that goes by where he does not think of his dad, his “hero”.
This year (2021) too, Pete honored him and the others, co-hosting a benefiting 9/11 charity show “NYC Still Rising After 20 Years: A Comedy Celebration”.

Autumn Snyder: How Suicide Taken the Life of Zack Snyder’s Daughter - by?Carrie Hansen?on?February 19, 2022
https://www.vizaca.com/autumn-snyder-zack-snyders-daughter/
In an interview, Zack explained the sorts of conversations that he had with Autumn regarding depression.
Autumn would often ask what her worth was, what she was about, and about her existence.
Zack and Autumn often talked about her battle with depression. She was on medicine and had been in therapy but fought to shake off the condition. “She was always wondering about her worth,” Zack told Vanity Fair. “‘What is my worth? What am I supposed to do? What am I about?’“
Synder constantly encouraged Autumn that her life had endless worth. “The conversation was like, ‘Of course you’re amazing!” Zack added. “What do you mean your worth? You’re worth more than anything in the world!’ And she would just be like, ‘…yeah.‘”
Autumn’s conflict came out in pieces she wrote. She vented her grief and searched for relief through words.
“Her main characters are always in this battle with things from another dimension that no one can see,”
Zack explained. “And that war was happening to her every day. I think so many people are in that battle, and they smile and nod at you.“
Professor honored for research on Indigenous psychology (3.27.2022 post)
Traditional healing gains mainstream recognition through work with ‘alter-Native’ approach
https://indiancountrytoday.com/news/professor-honored-for-research-on-indigenous-psychology
Indigenous traditional healing methods rely on spirituality and ceremony as a means to recover from maladies such as addiction, trauma and suicide. These methods have generally not been recognized by mainstream mental health professionals as legitimate evidence-based practices.
This mindset, however, is beginning to change, thanks to the work of researchers like Joseph Gone, a citizen of the Aaniih-Gros Ventre Nation and an anthropology professor at Harvard University who also teaches at Harvard Medical School’s Department of Global Health and Medicine...
