 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here in this video? We're gonna be talking about Kevin Williamson's original plans for the Newstream trilogy that he had in mind when he first went to West Craven With the idea of a new trilogy now all this information stuff that came out earlier this morning sometime last night because he was on a podcast a shockwave podcast where they were discussing Kevin Williamson's career and he's shared some tidbits on the original plans On the original plans that he had in mind for a fifth screen movie following the events of screen 4 His original intent with screen 4 and also how he had everything ready to go He had he went to the first thing that stuck out to me was how Kevin Williamson basically said that he went to West Craven before anybody else with this new idea for a trilogy He had everything mapped out with the idea of screen 4 screen 5 and screen 6 He went to West Craven first before going to the studio because remember at the time the screen franchise and everything regarding screen was Through dimension films and I believe dimension at the time was owned by the Weinstein's and the Weinstein's had a lot of hands-on and a lot of Influence in the way things went on Kevin Williamson also shared the fact that he had to rewrite the script ten times He had to go back and rewrite the script over ten different times because of the fact that the Weinstein's just were not Satisfied with what he had brought to them Specifically he was talking about Bob Weinstein and now not once ever Do I feel in this in this in this podcast that he's on did he disrespect Bob Weinstein? He is very he's very humble humble throughout the whole time. He's talking about the disagreements They had and the creative frustration that He was just getting from him because he realized at some point he thought to himself you know this relationship isn't gonna work out and The turbulence and all this stuff that went on with screen for these are some of the same things that played played screen 3 and Kevin at this at this date at this stage in the game Keep in mind Kevin Williamson was busy with the vampire diaries at the time of screen 4 So when you're focusing and focusing and working on all these major things You have a hit TV series on the air at the moment and then you have Bob Weinstein coming at you and telling you that Not one but nine different different rewrites or different versions of a script that you've now Constructed are not passable or not acceptable. He that's gonna cause some frustration Bob Weinstein apparently Was just to the things that he would mention or want to recommend and in regards to what Williamson had envisioned was just some things that Williamson was not on the same page But they were not on on the same page there creatively He also brought up the fact that the original plan for screen for he talked about his original plans and how the ending was different And how the opening was gonna be different There's a plethora of different openings that I know were in the have been talked about in regards to screen for I believe one of The openings actually had Sydney Prescott being our opening attack and leaving her leaving her her fate open the air And then the movie's just gonna jump two years. That's one thing. I'm glad they did not do Another thing he went over was of course the original ending now for for those of you who have Found this script online or have just read and heard about it and just read and watch all these different videos where we all have talked about this All of us in the horror community here on YouTube Kevin Williamson screen for originally before he left and walked out and left everything For the Weinstein to go pick up Aaron Krueger and bring Aaron Krueger into finish off screen for Kevin Williamson screen for ended at that at Kirby's house Jill had seemingly gotten away with it. Sydney and Kirby were presumably dead Dewey came into the house his officers and Hicks, I believe was also with him. They came into the house Jill was stretched out on the stretcher as we do get to see see her get stretched out on a stretcher in screen for But then back in the house we hear that We hear one of the officers or somebody a paramedic say we have a live one or she's or we have a pulse And then the movie's just gonna end there was gonna end on a cliffhanger of us not knowing if this person that was alive Was either Kirby or Sydney now What he went on to say in this podcast was that originally his screen five was gonna take us back to college So we can go off of a few things here Sydney Prescott has already grown up and she For all intents and purposes I don't think it's actually even mentioned if Sydney even graduated from college or finished college I'm gonna say she let's say she just finished college if she didn't she just didn't but at this point in the stage in the game If we're going back to college that tells me that Kirby read Hayden Pancier's character was going to be in this script They had plans to bring Kirby back her fate was left up in the air on purpose And if they had plans if he's in this podcast saying that the original plans were what's for screen five to go back to a college setting I'm willing to bet that the plans were for Kirby reads character Kirby read was gonna be our new sitting she was gonna be our new focus focus point and I know a lot of rumors have been spread on the internet about what Sydney's role would have been because ultimately I believe Sydney Prescott would have been revealed as being alive as well We would have found out in screen five that not only is Kirby alive But her and Sydney are alive Jill still seeming is getting away with it because a lot of rumors stated that Sydney would be suffering from amnesia Now in regards to how a new killing spree would start up He didn't really get into too many details on that I really wish he would have spoken on that a bit so we can see how exactly that would have played out and then again I'm just really going off of assumptions here if we were going back to a college setting I'm willing to bet that this person we were gonna be following in this college setting wasn't gonna be Sydney Prescott again at college. It was gonna be Kirby read That or we're gonna be following Jill someone who we know is a is not innocent And maybe we're gonna see her get played by Ghostface killing spree I really am interested. I I'm really interested to see if we will ever get to see Some of these treatments that he had in mind or if he will ever go into a little bit more detailed about this after We actually see the screen five that radio silence is gonna bring out But he shared all all these details in this podcast The fact that he went to West Craven initially with the idea for the new trilogy and he already had ideas for screen four five and six mapped out West Craven was also then he went to the Weinstein's the Weinstein's were on so Everything looked like it was gonna be just easy easy breezing But of course the Weinstein's and the same things that plagued screen three plagued screen four Not only this time around is just more so the Weinstein's and their frustration and their creative differences With what Kevin Williamson script was the fact that they didn't want to move it in on the cliffhanger. They didn't want They didn't like his opening. They didn't like his ending. They didn't like Several different things that he that he had in the script. I believe in one draft He had Sidney killed off early on or left her fate up in the air Several different things that they just did not like and see eye-to-eye on so of course he became frustrated over that and Ultimately, that's what led to him walking out because at that point he he seemingly he's he's on a time schedule here He when screen four was in the works Kevin Williamson was working on one of the hottest shows on television at the time so I can understand you being frustrated when you have your producers and your and Your your executive producers and you're just your producers in general like the Weinstein's coming back at you all the time Saying hey change this no, we don't want to do it like this do it like this Oh, well, don't you think you could do it this way? Hey, this doesn't work try this No, don't do that like back and forth and I'm saying he had to go through this ten times ten different rewrites I don't know what how what percentage of of these ten times He had to rewrite if he had to rewrite like a large chunk of the script It was just him going back and rewriting the ending which in itself could be a large chunk Because you have to it's just that's a big of a headache for me to even think about it I can understand why he grew frustrated That's ultimately what led to him coming out and saying that he was not doing screen five because remember back in early 2013 Or in the year 2013 For those of you who have been following and waiting for screen five for so many years since screen four I'm pretty sure you'll recall that Kevin Williamson flat-out said when asked one time in 2013 that he was not doing screen five This is why these creative these creative differences and the constant interference from the Weinstein's messing up his ideas and They're just Constantly messing with him and coming up with all these different things that they think would be better from what he had originally intended That's why he ultimately came out and said he's not doing screen five because also at the same time Over the years. We were seeing that the Weinstein's were trying to find writers for screen five see on top of screen four not only being a Low financial success compared to the others They lost their writer Kevin Williamson already had treatments ready to go and he revealed in this podcast that his screen five Was going to take us back to college He had treatments ready to go in every intention of turning these treatments into full-length scripts Focusing on these characters that he wanted to focus on but The frustration that built up while he was dealing with screen four led to him ultimately saying he's not going to want to Even attempt to do a screen five let alone his vision for screen six with the constant creative differences between him and the Weinstein's Um, I just really liked all these tidbits. We got to find out today from Kevin Williamson and the fact that his relationship with West Craven was just very Uh trustworthy it seems the fact that he went to west before anyone else with this idea for the new trilogy and the fact that He had already screen five and six and even screen four already mapped out Kevin Williamson he he has a brain and I got to respect somebody who has a full trilogy not not necessarily already completely written But when you know exactly what you want to do And it's going to be three films when you have a solid trilogy already mapped out You know what you want to do with it and then you have all these complications coming up While you're working on one of the hottest shows on the air at the time I can understand why he wouldn't want to do a screen five under the regime with the Weinstein's That's probably that's why honestly, it's not even that shocking that with the Weinstein's not being involved with screen five He's back on as an executive producer. He's not writing the script But he's involved with the screen movie again He wasn't going to have anything to do with screen five as long as the Weinstein's were doing something with it because of the fact Of all this turbulence that went on behind the production of screen four And I'm pretty sure all of us who have Searched research this is stuff and stayed up to date while screen four was in the works. We know all of this information Kevin Williamson had plans to take us back to college with screen five It's a shame. We'll never get to see what he actually envisioned Maybe some tidbits of his ideas get get thrown into our new script writers for screen five from radio silence Uh, maybe we'll even get to see some of his treatments blended in with their ideas I think that would be a very cool combination of things to see Uh, but let me know what you guys think about all this down in the comment section below If you haven't already make sure you subscribe It's on our post notifications so that you never miss a video in the description I'll have links on my social media accounts on my facebook twitter and instagram You can message me there to let me know if there's any movies news or reviews You like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video
