The Scream Franchise

[johnoclock]

After the success of Scream, Wes had free reign to direct any project in the Miramax stable as long as he made Scream 2 and 3 (and he picked, ahem, Music of the Heart) so I imagine that they have it written into their contracts that they have to make 7 and then pick a project they love and get it funded.

 

[Krissykins]

It says in the article that they’re making the universal monster movie their next project unfortunately. I don’t mind if we have to wait an extra year for Scream VII if it means it’ll be the same writers and directors as 5 & 6.

 

[P'NutButter]

Yeah I'm fine with a wait and I think the audience in general wouldn't mind if it means we get the same high quality, but the studios 99% of the time think of money before anything. We'll have to wait and see I suppose?

Even if Radio Silence were confirmed to be doing the next film, there’s not much of a realistic timetable to get it done in time for the Jan-March Q1 window of 2024. Then you start to enter summer blockbuster territory - not unknown for horror to release in summer but not typical either.

I’d be more than happy to wait until autumn 2024 or even early 2025 if it means keeping it in the Radio Silence family.

 

[LetsGetToIt]

ViewerAnon said he heard they want to be filming by October at the latest. If they manage that, they’ll be able to get it ready for release next year. Of course I could see then delaying it to keep Radio Silence which is fine as well.

I’m open to anything though. I don’t think a new director would be a horrible thing, depending on who is chosen.

Melissa has been cast in the new Radio Silence horror so I don’t think we need to worry about them not being available to direct.

 

[P'NutButter]

Ummm

 

[~Paul~]

God bless her, but no fucking way.

 

[Joe.]

Her liver was in the mailbox

 

[Andrew]

Ummm

Her guts were watering the grass!!!

But, if we get Heather Graham playing herself who played Casey Becker in Stab, as an opening kill...

 

[Alenko]

Oh so happy for Melissa that makes me very hopeful they can still do Scream7.

Drew no way, please also no flashbacks, we are finally at a point where we can move forward.

Today I learned some people really want both Matthew and Drew to come back and be the killers in 7 and that would be SUCH an insult to actual fans of the franchise and horror movies. Like who thinks that would actually be a good idea?

It's the same worms-for-brains people who want Sidney to be a snapped killer.

 

[Bobby]

Just...play new characters if they want to be in it so badly.

 

[P'NutButter]

If we do get that prequel series I'd be here for scenes involving Stu and Casey using de-aging tech.

 

[Hudvar]

The last thing I want from Scream is a Halloween-style mess of alternate timelines, retcons, and decapitated people growing their heads back.

You played your part. You were awesome. Now leave the stage.

 

[Daniel_O]

There are so many fans who apparently really want Stu to come back and are convinced that he somehow survived. I fail to understand why would anybody want that.

 

[sesita]

When the killers of VII are Stu stans (stuns? Little Machers?) that grow obsessed with thinking he's alive. The whole original Scream 3 cult thing, only Miss Lillard remains dead while telling the fans: this is how crazy you guys all seem.

There’s literally zero need for any foolery to get the likes of Stu and Casey back when there’s a really solid cast that’s still alive and kicking. Other than some future Sidney/Kirby/Gale appearances, the franchise is primed after VI to move forward into new territory. No retconning or backtracking needed.
