2: You could screw this up, but your ability as a GM is only half the story. The other is the player's attitudes and expectations. It could be that the players love the story, and are looking for a retelling from a different perspective - a reboot if you will. If the players come in with an open mind and are looking for the "same but different" feel, this could work great! If they somehow expect you to do it "just right" ... then that will never work.
Very much this. If the players are open to a new experience, perhaps a new take on an old favorite then the OP should not worry. However and the reason I so boldly went there and said to decline DMing is that starting off with "that's what I did in the other game..." bodes ill for being open to new experiences.
