 What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So we're actually me talking about scream 3 in this video here today. Just a quick video Well might be quick might be not but this is in relation to the character of stew mokker Somebody who I love as a character somebody who I very much so enjoyed I think Matthew Lillard did a tremendous job bringing that character to life in the original scream It was nice to hear his voice cameo in scream 3 But you know the character is dead And we've gotten to a point where now a producer who was heavily involved in those first three movies Richard Potter or I think he might actually have been a head of story development at dimension films when it comes to that He shared some interesting things about screen 3 and the process of what went on with these movies or that movie specifically underneath a post on Facebook Which I can only imagine was in per in reference to stew mokker The post had to be referencing stew mokker or something with screen 3 for him to bring this up So Richard Potter and his interesting comments and if you don't believe me and anything I have to say about Richard Potter Richard Potter again 100% worked on the screen movies and he's making claims now that completely make Talking about stew as being alive useless to me He said that he was in charge of developing the first three screen movies for dimension films He still has Kevin's original draft the screen 3 before Aaron Krueger came in to write his own idea for screen 3 Stew is not in Kevin's script when Kevin Julie Plec and I sat down to discuss what screen 3 would be about There was never a discussion of stew being in it. The big question was whether or not the screen 3 Should move the focus more To gale from Sydney these conversations all took place while we're in Atlanta shooting screen 2 Just as we discussed what screen 2 would be about while while we're in Santa Rosa shooting screen Kevin may have thought about some idea of a cult or something with stew later But he never but he never discussed it with us and didn't write it in his first draft I'm happy to answer any questions You guys have about the first movies if there is something you'd like to know feel free to ask But I don't want to argue about stew or who said what about stew into intervening years I can say with 100% certainty that we never discussed stew being in screen 3 when we were developing it Now here's the thing a lot of people like hey Well, what about Matthew Lillard and that clip that audio clip of him saying that he had been paid to appear And return as stew and stew was going to be the killer. He's going to be pulling strings from behind prison Matthew Lillard is the only one who I've seen make mention of that. I'm just being honest Now you might be saying why would Matthew Lillard lie? Here's my thing. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt Perhaps he wasn't trying to lie and perhaps what he did Was just embellish some truths. Well, I I take that back that literally that literally would be lying Maybe what happened was Some there's got to be something missing in terms of what was communicated between Matthew Lillard and dimension films Because I don't want to believe that Matthew Lillard intentionally just lied about his involvement with screen 3 I know he definitely again was part of screen 3. All of us know this He had a voice cameo in screen 3 when sydney was on set of staff 3 that we got to hear his voice so He got paid for something But he's alleged that it was of course to be the killer and he was going to be pulling the strings and stew was running a cult yada yada yada All that type of stuff But according to this person richard potter Who is much more trustworthy in terms of the creative process of these screen movies He's actually done a few interviews If not a couple interviews with screen trilogy and major fan site dedicated to the screen movie shout out to you You know who you are And he's saying that stew was never part of this process Stew was never going to be a part of screen 3. So that in mind I think it would be safe to assume that for the time being stew mocker At that point in time was always intended to just be dead. He wasn't going to come back now Of course, we're in a different time period now You don't have to abide by what was the plan then you could always say Hey, yes stew is alive and just cave and give in to all these crazy fan theories out there I myself have said I would not have a problem with stew being alive If you can find a logical way to make it make sense But given how so much time has passed and you know people are already like well, how didn't you? I mean you have people already pointing out how didn't how didn't gale weathers know about richie's family in screen six I mean you want to add more More problems to that already Highly implausible scenario that people people have an issue with screen six by then tossing in that she didn't even know That stew mocker was alive in screen seven. I mean come on now I just don't I don't see it happening anymore. I really truthfully don't see this happening anymore I don't think that stew mocker will ever be revealed as alive I don't see the point in revealing him as alive Besides that just being a desire for most people not most but some and you have you're you're not wrong to desire that I want to make that clear you're not wrong to desire that but I would say you are wrong For trying to deny what a producer is saying or trying to deny What a person who worked on these films very closely compared to matthew literally saying and then saying hey Well, matthew literally is more reliable. I mean You can think what you want I think that the person who directly was in contact with kevin williamson over screen three is more reliable than matthew lillard I don't even see the point in stew being alive anymore Only because of the fact that you have leslie mocker sitting right there And there's a lot of material to work with right there with leslie mocker You can still have stew in screen seven. I just don't see stew mocker being revealed as alive You've already brought back billy lumas. He's still dead You can bring back stew mocker and keep him dead But I think there's a desire and an urge to not see it happen now from some people unless he's alive And it's not necessary to make that character alive You guys let me know what you think about this down in the comment section below if you're having a record Make sure you subscribe turn on post notification at your nearest video in the description I'll have links on social media accounts.
