This isn’t all that surprising. They rarely discuss previous instalments, unless it was a direct sequel. This movie isn’t going to be that, so they don’t need to tie anything up.
Thank god she has new depth to her character, can be given some things to overcome or grow even further into this trilogy but I think this is where it’s gotta stop since they didn’t do the original idea of the college campus with Jill and Kirby. I miss the Carpenters. That plan of their stories intertwining big time for a conclusion sounded so good.
Every Scream sequel is like this. We know the previous movie happened, but its not brought up and never has any relevance to the current situation, which always is about Billy and 1996
More realistic? This franchise is a bunch of psychopaths who feed off each other in some way or another dressing up as the same dude going after either a girl from woodsboro or another girl from woodsboro who was the daughter of the killer of the first film who was the boyfriend of the first girl who is constantly being targeted by these lunatics. Idk this feels about as realistic as A Nightmare on Elm Street.
The Carpenters were shoehorned into this franchised to begin with and almost ruined it. Not Melissa or Jenna's fault, but the writers' and directors'. 5 and 6 are everything sequels shouldn't be. The final nail on the coffin was making a slasher movie where no one dies. I'm all for a completely fresh start or a direct sequel to the original trilogy if Sidney is involved.
Agree. I even would be more than happy to have a real legacy sequel, which only takes the OG Scream 1996 into account. We could have all our beloved characters back (like Randy, Dewey and even Cotton). Have Stu in it too. Him being in prison, but once he's released, GF attacks for the first time in almost 30 years, so everyone is suspecting Stu, even if it could be a copycat killer framing Stu for it. Would make an interesting twist, if Stu was actually innocent of the new killings in that movie. (It would also be a movie in which I would be totally okay with a "teaser" at the beginning of the movie, like give us a phonecall between Sidney and GF and then have GF appear from behind, kinfe raised, then cut to like 24 hours earlier. It wouldn't spoil much but would be an entertaining beginning without having everything explained through characters telling it or flashbacks)
Tbh I’m use to this news if scream 7 doesn’t address scream 6 bc the sequels never talk about the prior sequels only the original until scream 6 which brought back discussion about the previous killers so that doesn’t bug me.
Scream 3 briefly referenced Scream 2 with Randy bringing up Windsor College and Sidney wearing the Greek letter charm necklace that Derek gave her as well as her photograph at the drama theater.
If the children weren’t the driving force while Sidney was the lead, I would have threw the entire film away anyways. It just doesn’t seem as compelling if it’s Mark or her dad. Not anymore. The children have made for more character growth and it can also lead to regression or stagnation. Seeing her flawed. Each film of the OG trilogy had her be something whether good or bad. The victim. The survivor. The star.
If they want to end the Carpenter sisters' story with Scream 6, that's fine. Still, I can't imagine them not mentioning the Ghostface shrine in Scream 6 at all, something that was made from ill-gained evidence from previous Ghostface killings. Even by slasher movie standards, that was one helluva set piece.
The only thing I want For sure in this new movie is the fact that aknowlage Roman as the first master mind behind everything and, maybe, talks about Jill and how Sidney’s family were a rollercoaster for her because their fault (incluide her mother). Yes, Billy and Stu were the firsts Ghostface but, if it wasnt for Roman NOTHING would happen and I’m sick that only Billy gets the credit for that. Even S6 just point it how Roman was the only Ghostface, like TF?
I completely agree with you on this point! I know Scream 3 is not as popular as some of the other sequels, but it was intended to be the final chapter of the original trilogy, and revealed that Billy and Stu were not the progenitors of Ghostface or the masterminds behind the death in the franchise that started it all, which was Maureen Prescott’s murder. The revelation that Roman was the one who molded Billy and Stu into becoming killers by manipulating them into taking his vengeance out on Maureen for him by convincing them Maureen was responsible for Billy’s family falling apart, instead of Billy focusing his rage on his father for cheating on his mother or for his mother abandoning him when he needed her. It was never really made clear as to whether the subsequent Woodsboro murders in the original film were also orchestrated by Roman or they were the result of Gale’s book bringing unwanted attention and potential doubt to the public that Cotton was actually innocent and wrongfully imprisoned bc of Sidney’s mistake in identifying him during his trial as the killer. The book was set to be released later in the year of the original killings as Gale told Sidney before she punched her outside the police station. The one year anniversary and the timing of the book release would have made Roman, Billy and Stu’s “perfect” crime relevant news again and could have possibly exposed Cotton’s innocence. Roman never explains why he didn’t target Sidney for murder at the same time he did their mother, and I wish that would be explored. Not only that, but Roman was the only single killer and he is the starting point of two decades worth of senseless murders. Even after his death, the legacy he started by killing his mother has gone on to cause the deaths of so many innocent people, and even influenced another relative of Sidney’s to kill her own mother in an attempt to kill Sidney and take the spotlight from her just like that Roman tried to do. Kate’s character was a tremendous waste of potential as she could have known about Maureen’s past or secretly knew she had a half brother out there. The fact sidney and Kate never have a conversation or speak about Maureen is insane to me! The fact Roman instigated so much destruction to get vengeance on Maureen to the point it infiltrated the mind of Sidney’s cousin and motivated her to try and kill her a decade after his death is huge storytelling wise. Roman and Jill were first cousins!!! Why do the horror fans in the franchise never acknowledge this? Especially fans like Kirby who fell in love with horror films bc of Stab and the “character” of Sidney Prescott. We didn’t get much from Neil Prescott either before he was killed off screen. Roman’s significance to the story and franchise of Scream is massively overlooked and should be remembered in some way. It should come full circle with tiring things back to Maureen and that fateful moment where Roman attempted to meet his mother and she turned him away, which led to so much death and the loss of everyone Sidney has ever loved or cared about and the loss of entire families, such as Tatum and Dewey Riley and Judy and Wes Hicks. I wish one sequel would address some of this or how Sidney learning Roman’s history as her brother emotionally and psychologically impacted her ability to process each set of killings since the first trilogy ended. She would have to re-evaluate every memory she has of her mother as the woman she knew with the reality of who she really was and what her choices ended up leaving behind for her daughter to inherit after her death.
I’m not so shocked. Can’t wait to see what they have in store for Scream 7! I have enjoyed all the films and was a big fan of Scream 6 I hope we see Sam and Tara down the line again
I mean I kinda expected it too be it’s own thing but I hope that doesn’t mean like they forgetting Scream 5&6 being apart of the franchise but I will say the only positive thing about that is it basically erasing Dewey death
Why would it do that? David would still have to reprise his role and what if he didnt or couldnt do it? You can also not bring up the other movies while still having the events from those movies taken place.
New Scream movie hype train lets gooooo. I love V and VI but I'm ready for something new and honestly the last story ended perfectly on a second movie that it's not the worst thing.
Agree with you there. Either that or they ahould do a total "reboot" and do a Legacy sequel (like blumhouse did with Halloween), which would enable them to bring back Randy, Dewey and even Jill, since they would all be alive and well, if Scream 2 never happened. They could also bring back Stu without anyone having a real cause to complain, since their argument "why no one mentioning that he's alive" wouldn't cpunt and they could have him just be in prison since Scream (1996) and then released at the beginning of the movie. That would still give us the "who did it" trope, since everyone would believe the killer to be Stu, but it could also be a copycat killer, wanting to frame Stu for the killings. Might be interesting for a Scream-movie
the fact that they're not gonna continue the story from the sixth movie doesn't bother me,the main thing i'm upset about is that the Meeks-Martin twins are gone!They were the only things we had left of Randy and now they're gone!:
Starting a new timeline doesn’t necessarily mean we get Dewey back. They could pull a Halloween 2018 and just make the claim he died in the line of duty while jumping 20ish years to see whats up with Sid.
It sad But at least Scream 7 has potential to be something new With the Carpenter story line Scream VI had a nice ending and it can always be picked up on in a later date Nothing more poetic than Sam, Tara & Danny walking off in the sunset (Despite all the shenanigans)
@@ryansingletary7018 Means they can have a reboot straight from 6 in the future once this new trilogy is over. Kinda like if Halloween wanted to reboot again they can draw from H2O and use Josh character to chase down his uncle for what he did to his mother in 8
I like the angle they are moving forward with. I would love to see them play into Sidney’s psyche like how is she coping with the constant attacks and now especially on her kids. Like show her in therapy or discussing it with Mark or even her Dad.
Same here. Would totally love a legacy sequel with Matthew Lillard as Stu Macher. So many possibilities with the franchise. Could take place after Scream 1996 (imo best choice), Scream 3 or Scream 4. Dewey would be back either way, if 5 and 6 didin't happen in the movie's timeline. But with a legacy sequel to Scream 1996, we could also have Randy and Cotton back (even Jill since she would still live).
6 was similar to 2. College setting, parent seeking revenge, loving bf who was not the killer. I enjoyed 6 but they copied too much of the motive from 2.
I think they could easily move away from the sisters because the way 6 ended. I felt there was closure with the sisters except they never showed the mom. It would have been nice where Sam and Tara have to either save their mom or stop their mom from Ghostface. What I would like to see is Gale and Kirby tracking down Ghostface which leads them to where Sidney is located.
5:16 5 worked for me b/c Jack did an incredible job of making me doubt myself whenever I suspected him. He genuinely seemed like a nice boy so even though it was sort of expected it was super shocking the first time for me
Kevin Williamson has said in the past he doesn’t believe in reboots and reckoning sequels in a franchise. What they could do is say that scream 5/6 were actually stab movie’s and act like 1-4 were real. This can bring Dewey back and this also is why Sidney gets targeted because it’s mentioned that she has kids.
That would be a cool idea. But I think they will just make scream 5 and 6 look like an intermission between 4 and 7, with Dewey’s death being the only real event of it. Which kind of is to be honest, lol…
@@helenarain4574 well I to rather not have him recon anything even if it’s a mistake. Just trying come up with a way if that’s what they are gonna do. But at very least Dewey’s killer should be Stu if he comes back
That makes no sense to have 5 and 6 be Stab movies. That’ll mean that Sidney, Gale, Dewey, Judy, and Kirby agreed to star in a franchise as themselves that they clearly are against, especially Sidney. Plus, acknowledging Stab as a series in a Stab movie makes no sense. It’s as if the Scream characters referenced other Scream movies in the same universe.
@@Marcus616 did you read my other comments? Guess not. Only suggested it as a possibility without them having to create a new timeline. And since Scream is “meta” your point add something I didn’t think of( the real life characters agreeing to appear in a stab movie) Gale wrote books anyway, Cotton Weary was gonna be in Stab and Dewey was already a real life consultant for the franchise in 3. So why wouldn’t they be in it to cash in on all that bad things they went through. But like I said in past comments I rather not have them recon anything including things I dislike. Plus Kevin Williamson said in the past he doesn’t like doing it. So how would you do it then since it seems they are gonna possibly ignore the movies.
Im completely down for this idea!!! Love it even more!! Hope it’s true. And I don’t consider it disrespectful to 5 and 6. They had a good ending point. They can pick up on it later if they choose.
Honestly with scream 7 if it is going to mirror scream 3 they just need to bring sb back from the past like from the older movies so it does need the core 4. And even a possible scream 8 if it is to mirror scream 4 which is supposed to be sorta like a reboot, then tht doesn’t need to address the core 4 either.
I personally don't care if Scream 6 is addressed. I don't feel it's necessary. This is a different movie with a different story. They could always go back to address part 6 in the next movie if they want to. I love that Sidney and perhaps Gale will be front and center. We don't always need children to be the stars of these films. It will be a nice change for a slasher film. Slashers rarely star older people. I'm excited for this. I disagree about part 5. I thought it was quite different from the other Scream films and enjoyed it even more than part 4. Part 6 was okay but it's my least favorite Scream film. It's a little boring for me.
Sidney's kids not being a driving force was probably Neve's idea. Knowing how she feels about kids being in a Scream movie. I do think Neve will have restrictions on the kids.
All I hope is that Scream 7 is still a continuation of these movies. I know they have to reset the story due to Spyglass fucking everything up, but they can still address why Sam and Tara aren’t around. I don’t want Gale and Sidney to not discuss at least a little bit of what went down in New York and why Sidney couldn’t be there. And I do realize that not all the sequels reflect on the past but it would just be weird for them to act like the events of 5 and 6 didn’t happen. Dewey is gone so they would have to address that and it would connect 5/6 story with 7 being a continuation.
As someone who didn’t care for Scream VI and hated the way they treated Gale, I’m more than fine with Scream 7 not acknowledging that film at all. It makes sense since nothing significant happened in VI
Totally agree with you on Gale! I'm sick of them making her the butt of jokes and it is just crazy that she's survived this many attacks, she's on national television everyday, but then in 6 they just have her in a crowd of local reporters? It doesn't even make sense.
One thing I absolutely hate about this franchise is that everyone knows who Sidney is, but, especially in 6, Gale is treated like a this c-list nobody. Even in 3, Cotton was a celebrity. So how the hell would Gale not be this massive entity in that world? She has survived more attacks than Sidney at this point.
I don’t think Gale is treated that way necessarily. She has her own morning talk show in New York so ppl definitely know who she is. She’s also written multiple books that were perceived successful and also owning rights to the stab movie franchise. I’d say ppl are probably more interested in Sidney because she doesn’t live a life for the public but for herself so ppl would obviously be more interested in Sidney because of her insane backstory and everything she’s been through. I think Sidney’s story in Scream 4 was her going back in the public eye to reclaim her Identity with her book.
@@izzyxxhughes9137 yes Gale has had all these plot details, but to me it doesn’t match up or even make sense with how she gets treated. It’s insane that in the 6th movie she’s just in a crowd of rando reporters again. Even in 2 they had everyone stepping out of her way when she was reporting from the street. I know her getting punched was a call back but it’s so weird to me. You could not get away with punching a celebrity and someone who has almost been killed that many times. I just don’t feel like they’re honoring her and her legacy.
Tbh I didn’t particularly care for the core 4. I liked the actors especially Jenna and mason but could care less about the characters storyline. I actually like this direction. I feel they did Melissa dirty but didn’t really care about her character and found her weak as a final girl. My favorite thing thus far is Kevin Williamson directing this. I kn😢he’s not a particularly experienced director but if it’s not Wes obviously Kevin literally wrote the scream script in a panic to make money. That fact that he came up with this franchise while in dire straits is impressive and he deserves to direct it
PRAYING that they play 5 and 6 off as stab movies where the legacy characters just played themselves. This also would allow them to get the hell away from the trash storyline of ghost daddy and on and off psychotic daughter… Or have Tara and Sam be off screen kills. 🙏
I actually preferred the idea of Scream 5 and 6 being books written by Gale Weathers. Pure fiction. It would mean Dewey would still be alive! Plus, not going to lie, I never liked the idea of Sam being Billy's bastard. It was dumb. Just a desperate way to tie her to the original, and by the original, I mean Billy, cause everything always leads back to him. So the idea of Gale coming up with such a lame and trashy idea sounded like something she would do.
With the way Scream VI ended why would they? All they need to do is show Gale leave NY when news breaks out about another attack. A passing reference ("they're living their lives") is more than enough. The Carpenter storyline is finished.
@@1bwashOr flip the script and have her be a hero/good guy.... showing that just because you come from a certain place, or person in Sam's case, that doesn't define who you will become in the end, you write your own story so to speak.
I really wish this movie can take place the same time as scream vi. But if this is true then it probably won't happen because if both killing sprees were happening at the same time then it would be all over the news
So sick of people saying to bring back a character that's dead. They died, stop dwelling on it. They had their moment in the spotlight, let it go and move on. Enjoy whatever new characters come to light!
@@josephprendergast2 If they are ignoring the last two films anyway then there is no reason to not bring back his character and the fact is the writers and directors destroyed his character and gave him a garbage death so for many of us, wanting that crappy decision undone makes perfect sense! As for new characters I like Sam and Tara but the writing quality never got them to their full potential compared to the OG cast!
@@entertainmentwizard2703 Can you tell me one character in all the Scream movies so far that was killed and died on screen and was brought back in another one?
I’m not gunna lie… I am honestly very excited and happy! For me the last one was the worst. I watch all the others multiple times and I watched that one once and have no interest on ever watching it again.
We don't care about Snore 4!! Best news ever about 7 🎉 People only want a good horror movie, no one cares about the Carpenters, they had a proper ending on 6. PS they could do: Where is Tara? - She deserved her happy ending
So happy about this 5 & 6 didn’t even feel like Scream movies to me lol Probably because at least in my opinion the Scream franchise cannot function without Dewey and this might give him a chance of coming back (I’m in denial probably but it’s not like he hasn’t come back from the dead before)
This franchise is cursed 😂 Scream 2 had the script leaked, Scream 3 had to be extremely changed and we got that goofy odd one out, the 5th was meh and the now 7th… Scream 5 was meh except from Dewey’s death. Scream VI made me invest in the new characters and now they take that back?! I’m completely frustrated
I feel like Melissa did something to really piss them off behind the scenes that we don't know about. Because just posting stuff alone during this time era wouldn't have caused all these. Plus Melissa still goes to the conventions and promotes the movie. I personally don't care. I love horror, the good and the bad. I just want my movies.
I wonder if they are gonna Halloween this new Scream like they also did with some other franchise I can’t remember right now. Where it’s a sequel that to one of the movies and ignoring the continuity of the previous movies. And bringing back Dewey as a character.
But tbh. I liked the last two although Judy Hicks having a son doesn’t even make sense. Her son would had been like 5 yrs old during the 4th film… I can see them not bringing it up because it’s been years and it’s not really relevant anymore or important. But still keep it in continuity, still keep it in the timeline and not bring Dewey back. Or Kirby.
Idk how I feel about it I think Sidney's story was done I got used to the 2 new sisters and was looking forward to seeing we're there story was gonna go but here we go back to square 1 I hate when they do this shit
None of the screams ever really address the previous films except the original. The shrine was really the first time. I think 6 ended perfectly. No need to really know what theyre up too until they bring back the core 4 for a future movie
The don't really ever talk about prior sequels because each film asks as if it's the last anyway. But they have to keep it in continuity especially with gale coming back they will for sure just the story is shifted to Sidney again. I hope they address core four idc if it's small dialogue long as it stays true to the characters
I’m okay with whatever at this point, I would okay if they decided to bring back Kirby and kill her off. They have to hit hard at this point of this franchise. I still would like information about the soundtrack, who would composing it this time. I hope Kevin doesn’t use that dream filter they used in 4.
For me them to kinda skip over Scream 6 and possibly Scream 5 isn't expected but it's also understandable. People will freak out but I won't be one of them!
This is a terrible idea, imo. I don't mind the time jump, but I was hoping that the events of 5 and 6 were still going to be canon in the timeline even if the core 4 weren’t going to be involved. Scream has always been the one horror franchise with a linear storyline, so this news is disappointing.
The one thing I don't like about not mentioning what happened in NYC is it almost confirms Gale won't be in Scream 7. That on top of Neve saying "no comment" when asked about whether Courteney has signed on, as well as Courteney being one of the first actors to confirm her involvement in both 5 and VI.
I heard she is on it. And I dont think they (Sidney and Gale) wouldnt talk about what happen in NY. BUT, if is truth that S7 has a timejump, maybe thats why they dont talk about it explicit (like in S4, Gale only mentions that she helped Dewey 3 times… and that’s it, no other mention of S2 and S3)
I don’t see this movie doing well we literally just had a scream reboot in 2022 2 years ago lol. This isn’t a Halloween 2018 situation where the franchise was gone a while . If they aren’t going to continue 6 why not push this movie back to 2028 .
in my head canon for scream 7 is that the core 4 has their happy ending and no ghostface will try to go after them again but the sad thing is that Sidney will have someone going after her and her kids
This isn’t all that surprising. They rarely discuss previous instalments, unless it was a direct sequel. This movie isn’t going to be that, so they don’t need to tie anything up.
Exactly, that's how it's always been. Every sequel just refers to Billy and Stu and how the current killings relate to them
Hope there’s a new teaser in comic con 👌🏿👌🏿🤞🏾
This isn’t true at all 😭 every single scream movie has had at least one reference to the film before it
@jarronwilliams7227 I would agree although I don't belive 4 made any reference to 3 did it ...?
@@greedy_soul They do in a meta way by saying what happened in Stab 3. Same with Scream 3 when they say "Randy got killed in Stab 2"
If they’re going to ignore 6, then they should ignore 5 too and bring Dewey back.

Yes!!
YES!!!
Yes they can actually explain 5 and 6 were stab movies just rebooted. Sidney,Gale and Dewey played themselves. They can even bring Judy back and Kirby
@@johncap6495 then Kirby’s return in 6 would amount to nothing really. The big reveal and set up in 5 would just be wasted. let’s just not do that

"You know what happened in Woodsboro Randy, you cant ignore it"

More realistic? This franchise is a bunch of psychopaths who feed off each other in some way or another dressing up as the same dude going after either a girl from woodsboro or another girl from woodsboro who was the daughter of the killer of the first film who was the boyfriend of the first girl who is constantly being targeted by these lunatics. Idk this feels about as realistic as A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Yes, exactly 😂

Personally I would ret con Scream 5 and 6 never happened and continue after Scream 4.
Bring Dewey back
Agree with you there.
Either that or they ahould do a total "reboot" and do a Legacy sequel (like blumhouse did with Halloween), which would enable them to bring back Randy, Dewey and even Jill, since they would all be alive and well, if Scream 2 never happened.
They could also bring back Stu without anyone having a real cause to complain, since their argument "why no one mentioning that he's alive" wouldn't cpunt and they could have him just be in prison since Scream (1996) and then released at the beginning of the movie. That would still give us the "who did it" trope, since everyone would believe the killer to be Stu, but it could also be a copycat killer, wanting to frame Stu for the killings.
Might be interesting for a Scream-movie
Are u completely out of ur mind!? That's the dumbest idea for the franchise ever...
Nope
the fact that they're not gonna continue the story from the sixth movie doesn't bother me,the main thing i'm upset about is that the Meeks-Martin twins are gone!They were the only things we had left of Randy and now they're gone!:
If they start a new timeline that would actually be awesome because we would get Dewey back! Let the anticipation, theories and leaks BEGIN 🔪
Would be horrible, wouldn't make any sense and ruin the franchise
Starting a new timeline doesn’t necessarily mean we get Dewey back. They could pull a Halloween 2018 and just make the claim he died in the line of duty while jumping 20ish years to see whats up with Sid.
It sad
But at least Scream 7 has potential to be something new
With the Carpenter story line
Scream VI had a nice ending and it can always be picked up on in a later date
Nothing more poetic than Sam, Tara & Danny walking off in the sunset
(Despite all the shenanigans)
I liked scream 5 because it was like the original but I didn’t like 6 that much idk why but I hope I like 7
Yes😁🙏, Scream 6 doesn't need to be addressed 😂. 7 is saved, I'm excited
Don’t think that’s a bad thing. It leaves 6 open to pick up with those characters
What does that mean
@@ryansingletary7018 Means they can have a reboot straight from 6 in the future once this new trilogy is over. Kinda like if Halloween wanted to reboot again they can draw from H2O and use Josh character to chase down his uncle for what he did to his mother in 8
Melissa opens to came back if time is right. So you are right. She said "Sam" still had a lot to tell.
@@SummerCooper1986 what did Michael do to his mom
@@ryansingletary7018 Watch Halloween H2O followed by its sequel Halloween Resurrection. There both on Tubi
I like the angle they are moving forward with. I would love to see them play into Sidney’s psyche like how is she coping with the constant attacks and now especially on her kids. Like show her in therapy or discussing it with Mark or even her Dad.
WHAT? I just read the title and I dont know what to think....
Legacy sequel aka Matthew lillard, I cant wait for them to revisit the 5 and 6 storyline 8 years from now
Same here. Would totally love a legacy sequel with Matthew Lillard as Stu Macher.
So many possibilities with the franchise. Could take place after Scream 1996 (imo best choice), Scream 3 or Scream 4.
Dewey would be back either way, if 5 and 6 didin't happen in the movie's timeline. But with a legacy sequel to Scream 1996, we could also have Randy and Cotton back (even Jill since she would still live).
6 was similar to 2. College setting, parent seeking revenge, loving bf who was not the killer. I enjoyed 6 but they copied too much of the motive from 2.
good. sidney literally met sam and tara once years ago.
I think they could easily move away from the sisters because the way 6 ended. I felt there was closure with the sisters except they never showed the mom. It would have been nice where Sam and Tara have to either save their mom or stop their mom from Ghostface. What I would like to see is Gale and Kirby tracking down Ghostface which leads them to where Sidney is located.
I personally didn’t think they needed the mom because Sam and Tara ended on good terms and were all the support and love they needed for each other.
what was the point of keeping Chad alive for two movies, and him almost getting killed twice, if they were just gonna throw away his character anyway?
Coz he would have been in this one with the core 4 had shit not gone south
@@buffyrules4ever Yeah I wish we could read the OG SCREAM 7 script before Melissa became a rebel with a cause lol
@@buffyrules4ever Chad def would've died in SCREAM 7, Maybe not Mindy but Chad was a goner. Maybe even opening kill
They didn’t know all this was gonna happen. He was set to come back but without the two new leads it’s pointless
This is perfect!
The fifth one was too boring, and the sixth film was just over the top goofy. So looking forward to the REAL Scream sequel.
Watch 7 be just like 6 but with Neve.
5:16 5 worked for me b/c Jack did an incredible job of making me doubt myself whenever I suspected him. He genuinely seemed like a nice boy so even though it was sort of expected it was super shocking the first time for me
I'm really happy to hear that this is a new trilogy in the franchise so all die hard Scream fans can look forward to 3 more movies 😊
You mean consumers who will purchase just because they slapped the word “Scream” on the title rather than it being a legitimately good product?
@@zedorian6547 Nah I don't agree with that, but you can have your own opinion!
Scream will not be the same without Sam and Tara. Gotta bring back all the survivors.
Give us Sydney and Gail, multiple outrageous kills, extended chase sequences and it will be a hut.
Kevin Williamson has said in the past he doesn’t believe in reboots and reckoning sequels in a franchise. What they could do is say that scream 5/6 were actually stab movie’s and act like 1-4 were real. This can bring Dewey back and this also is why Sidney gets targeted because it’s mentioned that she has kids.
Not gonna happen dude
That would be a cool idea. But I think they will just make scream 5 and 6 look like an intermission between 4 and 7, with Dewey’s death being the only real event of it. Which kind of is to be honest, lol…
@@helenarain4574 well I to rather not have him recon anything even if it’s a mistake. Just trying come up with a way if that’s what they are gonna do. But at very least Dewey’s killer should be Stu if he comes back
That makes no sense to have 5 and 6 be Stab movies. That’ll mean that Sidney, Gale, Dewey, Judy, and Kirby agreed to star in a franchise as themselves that they clearly are against, especially Sidney. Plus, acknowledging Stab as a series in a Stab movie makes no sense. It’s as if the Scream characters referenced other Scream movies in the same universe.
@@Marcus616 did you read my other comments? Guess not. Only suggested it as a possibility without them having to create a new timeline. And since Scream is “meta” your point add something I didn’t think of( the real life characters agreeing to appear in a stab movie) Gale wrote books anyway, Cotton Weary was gonna be in Stab and Dewey was already a real life consultant for the franchise in 3. So why wouldn’t they be in it to cash in on all that bad things they went through. But like I said in past comments I rather not have them recon anything including things I dislike. Plus Kevin Williamson said in the past he doesn’t like doing it. So how would you do it then since it seems they are gonna possibly ignore the movies.
Im completely down for this idea!!! Love it even more!! Hope it’s true. And I don’t consider it disrespectful to 5 and 6. They had a good ending point. They can pick up on it later if they choose.
That's Brilliant And They Should Cast Olivia Scott Welch Or Grace Fulton For Scream 7 Too Please ❤❤❤❤😊
Honestly with scream 7 if it is going to mirror scream 3 they just need to bring sb back from the past like from the older movies so it does need the core 4. And even a possible scream 8 if it is to mirror scream 4 which is supposed to be sorta like a reboot, then tht doesn’t need to address the core 4 either.
There's a rumor that spyglass is having trouble casting the movie because no on wants anything to do with it lmao.
I hope they figure out a way to make Dewey still part of the storyline. Not retcon his death entirely, but give him a proper send-off.
I personally don't care if Scream 6 is addressed. I don't feel it's necessary. This is a different movie with a different story. They could always go back to address part 6 in the next movie if they want to. I love that Sidney and perhaps Gale will be front and center. We don't always need children to be the stars of these films. It will be a nice change for a slasher film. Slashers rarely star older people. I'm excited for this. I disagree about part 5. I thought it was quite different from the other Scream films and enjoyed it even more than part 4. Part 6 was okay but it's my least favorite Scream film. It's a little boring for me.
This needs to be the final Scream. We don’t need another trilogy
As long as mark and Kirby come back I’m good.
Sidney's kids not being a driving force was probably Neve's idea. Knowing how she feels about kids being in a Scream movie. I do think Neve will have restrictions on the kids.
All I hope is that Scream 7 is still a continuation of these movies. I know they have to reset the story due to Spyglass fucking everything up, but they can still address why Sam and Tara aren’t around. I don’t want Gale and Sidney to not discuss at least a little bit of what went down in New York and why Sidney couldn’t be there. And I do realize that not all the sequels reflect on the past but it would just be weird for them to act like the events of 5 and 6 didn’t happen. Dewey is gone so they would have to address that and it would connect 5/6 story with 7 being a continuation.
I’m so happy they aren’t continuing with core 4 trash ♥️♥️
As someone who didn’t care for Scream VI and hated the way they treated Gale, I’m more than fine with Scream 7 not acknowledging that film at all. It makes sense since nothing significant happened in VI
Totally agree with you on Gale! I'm sick of them making her the butt of jokes and it is just crazy that she's survived this many attacks, she's on national television everyday, but then in 6 they just have her in a crowd of local reporters? It doesn't even make sense.
One thing I absolutely hate about this franchise is that everyone knows who Sidney is, but, especially in 6, Gale is treated like a this c-list nobody. Even in 3, Cotton was a celebrity. So how the hell would Gale not be this massive entity in that world? She has survived more attacks than Sidney at this point.
I don’t think Gale is treated that way necessarily. She has her own morning talk show in New York so ppl definitely know who she is. She’s also written multiple books that were perceived successful and also owning rights to the stab movie franchise. I’d say ppl are probably more interested in Sidney because she doesn’t live a life for the public but for herself so ppl would obviously be more interested in Sidney because of her insane backstory and everything she’s been through. I think Sidney’s story in Scream 4 was her going back in the public eye to reclaim her Identity with her book.
@@izzyxxhughes9137 yes Gale has had all these plot details, but to me it doesn’t match up or even make sense with how she gets treated. It’s insane that in the 6th movie she’s just in a crowd of rando reporters again. Even in 2 they had everyone stepping out of her way when she was reporting from the street. I know her getting punched was a call back but it’s so weird to me. You could not get away with punching a celebrity and someone who has almost been killed that many times. I just don’t feel like they’re honoring her and her legacy.
Tbh I didn’t particularly care for the core 4. I liked the actors especially Jenna and mason but could care less about the characters storyline. I actually like this direction. I feel they did Melissa dirty but didn’t really care about her character and found her weak as a final girl. My favorite thing thus far is Kevin Williamson directing this. I kn😢he’s not a particularly experienced director but if it’s not Wes obviously Kevin literally wrote the scream script in a panic to make money. That fact that he came up with this franchise while in dire straits is impressive and he deserves to direct it
I hated 5 and 6 so just make this a reboot or continuation of 4 and bring Dewey back please and thank you
Yes, exactly 😂. Same here
PRAYING that they play 5 and 6 off as stab movies where the legacy characters just played themselves. This also would allow them to get the hell away from the trash storyline of ghost daddy and on and off psychotic daughter…
Or have Tara and Sam be off screen kills. 🙏
If they completely retcon everything that happen in scream 5 & 6 , that’ll be a huge mistake
I actually preferred the idea of Scream 5 and 6 being books written by Gale Weathers. Pure fiction. It would mean Dewey would still be alive!
Plus, not going to lie, I never liked the idea of Sam being Billy's bastard. It was dumb. Just a desperate way to tie her to the original, and by the original, I mean Billy, cause everything always leads back to him. So the idea of Gale coming up with such a lame and trashy idea sounded like something she would do.
With the way Scream VI ended why would they? All they need to do is show Gale leave NY when news breaks out about another attack. A passing reference ("they're living their lives") is more than enough. The Carpenter storyline is finished.
I think it's better not to follow them and then just always have it an open possibility to have Sam be surprise killer in a later later sequel....
@@1bwashOr flip the script and have her be a hero/good guy.... showing that just because you come from a certain place, or person in Sam's case, that doesn't define who you will become in the end, you write your own story so to speak.
I really wish this movie can take place the same time as scream vi. But if this is true then it probably won't happen because if both killing sprees were happening at the same time then it would be all over the news
They should ignore the last two films and bring back Dewey!
Not gonna happen
So sick of people saying to bring back a character that's dead. They died, stop dwelling on it. They had their moment in the spotlight, let it go and move on. Enjoy whatever new characters come to light!
@@josephprendergast2 If they are ignoring the last two films anyway then there is no reason to not bring back his character and the fact is the writers and directors destroyed his character and gave him a garbage death so for many of us, wanting that crappy decision undone makes perfect sense! As for new characters I like Sam and Tara but the writing quality never got them to their full potential compared to the OG cast!
@@entertainmentwizard2703 Can you tell me one character in all the Scream movies so far that was killed and died on screen and was brought back in another one?
@@josephprendergast2 Can you tell me the last time a story in the Scream series that is being abandoned and effectively being rebooted!
Why would they need to?
I’m not gunna lie… I am honestly very excited and happy! For me the last one was the worst. I watch all the others multiple times and I watched that one once and have no interest on ever watching it again.
We don't care about Snore 4!! Best news ever about 7 🎉 People only want a good horror movie, no one cares about the Carpenters, they had a proper ending on 6. PS they could do: Where is Tara? - She deserved her happy ending
They want everyone to forget the Carpenter sisters ever existed
Yes😂, which is how it should be
Considering they had a good ending in 6, that’s not that bad of a thing. They can do a reboot of it in the future.
If this were the 90's or early to mid 2000's, Sam and Tara would be killed off screen in the opening to SCREAM 7
As long as we get a better Kirby storyline in 7 or ongoing, I don't mind. Hayden is an amazing actress.
This idea to me is not so surprising about that the SCREAM 7 😱 is going to be a sequel of SCREAM 4 😱
6 didn’t feel like a repeat? Ummm… the motive…. Lol
just get the movie 🎥 made 🤭
So happy about this 5 & 6 didn’t even feel like Scream movies to me lol
Probably because at least in my opinion the Scream franchise cannot function without Dewey and this might give him a chance of coming back (I’m in denial probably but it’s not like he hasn’t come back from the dead before)
This franchise is cursed 😂 Scream 2 had the script leaked, Scream 3 had to be extremely changed and we got that goofy odd one out, the 5th was meh and the now 7th… Scream 5 was meh except from Dewey’s death. Scream VI made me invest in the new characters and now they take that back?! I’m completely frustrated
"Can't prove a rumor that's why it's a rumor." I really hope to God these are just rumors
4:27 if you watch this channel heavy then ur prolly notta average movie fan
I feel like Melissa did something to really piss them off behind the scenes that we don't know about. Because just posting stuff alone during this time era wouldn't have caused all these. Plus Melissa still goes to the conventions and promotes the movie. I personally don't care. I love horror, the good and the bad. I just want my movies.
If anything, SCREAM V & VI look like side missions now
I guess we'll see
I Love SCREAM 5, I think SCREAM 6 is so OVERRATED!!!
thank gosh, 6 was bad
I wonder if they are gonna Halloween this new Scream like they also did with some other franchise I can’t remember right now. Where it’s a sequel that to one of the movies and ignoring the continuity of the previous movies. And bringing back Dewey as a character.
But tbh. I liked the last two although Judy Hicks having a son doesn’t even make sense. Her son would had been like 5 yrs old during the 4th film… I can see them not bringing it up because it’s been years and it’s not really relevant anymore or important. But still keep it in continuity, still keep it in the timeline and not bring Dewey back. Or Kirby.
Idk how I feel about it I think Sidney's story was done I got used to the 2 new sisters and was looking forward to seeing we're there story was gonna go but here we go back to square 1 I hate when they do this shit
6 was amazing..!
None of the screams ever really address the previous films except the original. The shrine was really the first time. I think 6 ended perfectly. No need to really know what theyre up too until they bring back the core 4 for a future movie
Sir this is my edit at 5:33 - 5:46 and you have removed my watermark and not credited me?
I hope Stu and Jill come back 😀💯💯
The don't really ever talk about prior sequels because each film asks as if it's the last anyway. But they have to keep it in continuity especially with gale coming back they will for sure just the story is shifted to Sidney again. I hope they address core four idc if it's small dialogue long as it stays true to the characters
Scream team are we cooked
If they ignore 6 they have to ignore 5 also because it's tied to that.
I’m okay with whatever at this point, I would okay if they decided to bring back Kirby and kill her off. They have to hit hard at this point of this franchise. I still would like information about the soundtrack, who would composing it this time. I hope Kevin doesn’t use that dream filter they used in 4.
Jill and Ethan return in Scream 7.Jill Ethan s gorlfriend
Jill is dead
@@Idkk_EditsNo 😢😢
@@Idkk_EditsJill and Ethan .Jill Ethan s girlfriend😂😂
Is this going to be like Halloween H20?
They just can do something like say the core 4 live there life without any probleme and the story will be about sidney with gale and kirby maybe
For me them to kinda skip over Scream 6 and possibly Scream 5 isn't expected but it's also understandable. People will freak out but I won't be one of them!
This is a terrible idea, imo. I don't mind the time jump, but I was hoping that the events of 5 and 6 were still going to be canon in the timeline even if the core 4 weren’t going to be involved. Scream has always been the one horror franchise with a linear storyline, so this news is disappointing.
What a waste of time Scream 5 & 6 was for everybody if this reboot is true.
Bring Dewey back please 🙏
Ugh its not a pinch of salt, its a grain! A GRAIN OF SALT!
The one thing I don't like about not mentioning what happened in NYC is it almost confirms Gale won't be in Scream 7. That on top of Neve saying "no comment" when asked about whether Courteney has signed on, as well as Courteney being one of the first actors to confirm her involvement in both 5 and VI.
I heard she is on it. And I dont think they (Sidney and Gale) wouldnt talk about what happen in NY.
BUT, if is truth that S7 has a timejump, maybe thats why they dont talk about it explicit (like in S4, Gale only mentions that she helped Dewey 3 times… and that’s it, no other mention of S2 and S3)
I don’t see this movie doing well we literally just had a scream reboot in 2022 2 years ago lol. This isn’t a Halloween 2018 situation where the franchise was gone a while . If they aren’t going to continue 6 why not push this movie back to 2028 .
Scream 1 and 2 was released a year apart lol the movie can do good 😂
in my head canon for scream 7 is that the core 4 has their happy ending and no ghostface will try to go after them again but the sad thing is that Sidney will have someone going after her and her kids
If the core four arent gonna be in 7 i wont watch it
If its true, then I hate it already. Seems very spiteful and petty.
