Scream 7

[belloq87]

They're skipping Halloween '25... why? It can't possibly be because the movie won't be done yet (these are not complex or effects-heavy films to make).

Honestly, this franchise needs (and has needed) a total reboot. Set the story a couple decades after the original SCREAM (i.e. those events are known and happened), but move forward with entirely new characters... and probably an entirely new look for the killer. We have got to move beyond the Sidney Prescott mythos and all the characters connected to it.

I'm guessing they're (still) figuring out what direction to even go in. Deals may be up in the air, and the script is probably nowhere near where it needs to be (and will require additional surgery once the final leads are confirmed).

I'm not particularly interested unless they get everyone from 5 and 6 back.

Delayed to 2026... not

and probably an entirely new look for the killer.

Nope. No way. Ghostface is Scream. You change the look, you change the movie entirely. The mask is iconic.

Sucks it has been delayed until 2026. I'm not deeply attached to the "Core 4", especially since the twins should've been dead at least twice.

Thought they were doing that pretty effectively with 6 but then we all know what happened.

The more characters return of any kind, the less interested I am at this point.

SCREAM VI was unforgivably toothless/precious with those characters.

Somebody needed to get the Randy treatment (which was a controversial and tough-to-swallow -- but correct and needed -- creative decision).

One of those characters is the daughter of Sid's boyfriend. That throughline would have still been there.

I don't want any character connections.

There needs to be character connections on some level otherwise you lose the heart/soul of the movie/franchise.

Because I was robbed of a proper 3rd season of the MTV series, I wouldn't mind them finding a way to merge the two.

Although Hayden's character Kirby is supposed to get a spin-off, honestly, she could stumble upon the "Brandon James" murders of the TV series as a way to bridge the gap.

If they brought back Stu for the Sidney/Gale showdown. Just do it well.
