 What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here since I'm about a few different topics in this video here today We'll be talking about smile to we'll be talking about screen seven We'll be talking about the upcoming David Gordon Green Exorcist sequel and we'll be talking about saw X now just to kick it off I'm gonna start with smile to because the Hollywood reporter is now reporting that smile to is in the works now Parker Finn Who he knows the filmmaker behind 2022's biggest horror hit according to this article? It's it's factually true as well Smile has signed a multi-year first look deal with paramount pictures lips are sealed as far as deals details go But Parker is expected to write produce and direct features in the horror genre a smile sequel is one of the priorities now I didn't put up a review for smile on this channel But anyone who tries to follow me on my socials knows that it was one of my W's as far as horror goes last year I found it to be one of the better gimmick horror movies. We've had in recent memory Yes, it was giving ring and it follows vibes. I'm understanding that mentality for most people as well I do think it excelled at building tension While keeping you intrigued in this familiar but still unnerving story now My guess as far as a narrative direction you would take given that Kyle Gowner I see has already kind of chimed in to kind of Just he tweeted out something to clearly show that he's excited His character in this movie was named Joel my prediction is that Joel will be the center of smile too That's an obvious route to go Given that the movie ended with the curse being passed on to Joel So I'd love to see Kyle Gowner back in more horror projects anyway, so give me more Kyle Gowner in smile I'm down to see him as the lead of smile too I'm wondering if he knows anything about this and that's why his tweet was put out the way he put out or put Out the tweet that he did so we'll find out as this progress is but yes smile too is in the works You guys can let me know in the comment section below if smile was one of your favorite horror movies last year It was definitely one of mine I just wasn't necessarily the biggest fan of all the jump scares that we kept getting but I digress Jumping into scream 7 radio silence to me I do not think is gonna be doing scream 7 and that's just a vibe again I'm getting from hearing their recent interviews and then more recently like I shared in a tweet earlier today There is a moment during a recent dead meat interview where Tyler Gillette let it be known that scream 7 is probably already in the works But that he Matt and Chad radio silence know as much about it as the rest of us But here's the thing that could of course just be you telling us what you have to say because you can't actually talk about it Here's the other thing though. He did echo what viewer non was saying, which is that? James and guy are probably already deep in the writing process Honestly, I appreciate everything these two have done with five and six I'm glad they got to be part of a franchise that they love I don't want them to feel tied to this series though I don't want them to come in here and see how fast would they want to fast track these sequels and then Be expected to keep up with that just because they're fans Of course, you can be fatigued especially if you have other things you want to work on that's understandable My advice and my hope is that you guys get to go work on those things I don't want you to feel confined to just scream you are more than just scream I'm glad that these two got to work on five and six if they do not return for seven We can still have a competently made scream seven from a different Person's perspective of a different person's vision a different duals vision different individuals vision We've seen this franchise shaken up in the past with scream three We've seen it more recently with five and six So if they return for scream seven that'll be a plus if they don't it's not the end of the world These two have much more I can tell that they want to do that is not just related to screaming I hope they get to do it. I don't want them to feel tied down to this franchise I hope they always can just look back and be thankful that they got to be a part of two sequels to a franchise that I know they clearly love I just think that they do want to do more than just scream It's it's I think that that speaks for itself in some of the interviews that I see and there's nothing wrong with that They're human after all they're they're human You can be a fan of something and still feel fatigued if you're being told to do it back to back to back after all this This is still a job that's being done. So just to jump into the exorcist Linda Blair is apparently going to return in David Gordon Green's upcoming Exorcist sequel shout out to the person who told me about this back in December and now shout out to Vera Not for breaking it more recently in a recent suite of theirs So, yes, you will have Linda back in the upcoming film coming later this year from David Gordon Green Ellen Burstin, we know was already expected to be a part of this So my guess is you'll have a been there done that angle play out Which is always fun depending on the execution because we know that Chris is Reagan's mother Reagan of course played by Linda Blair and I'm assuming these two will come in together to help the new father in this story Played by Leslie Odom, Jr. I believe after he reaches out to them to help since Chris has already been through it and experienced like this Similar to what she went through again back in the day with Reagan So now I'm most likely just predicting the synopsis that's out there But given that we now know that Linda Blair will be participating in this project It's gonna be these two coming into lend their help to the new generation and help them Defeat the evil that is now taking a hold of Leslie Odom, Jr.'s child in the story Now you guys can let me know down in the comment section below if you're excited for Linda Blair's return Do you care? Why do you not care if you don't care? Let me know if you care? What are you hoping she gets to do in the movie? Filming on the sequel I believe just recently wrapped as well My early prediction for me as it pertains to Linda Blair is that she is probably going to end up Sacrificing herself to kind of parallel what happened in the original film when she was the one being possessed What I can see happen I can see her sacrificing herself to save this new child that's been possessed I can see them taking that narrative route because this is supposed to be a trilogy I think too if she stays around for the whole trilogy. That's fine, but I'm just saying just around this out by talking about Saw X saw X plot specifics have been unveiled. Thanks to viewer non now apparently Jigsaw's target in this movie is a con man doctor peddling miracle cures for cash Much of the game takes place in an abandoned hospital as the doctor is made to see the error of his ways This lines up with it being John centric like we've been hearing about and the assumption that with him leaving to go to Mexico that the film would dabble in him trying to search for a cure and it seems that's what he is doing But he comes across somebody who is somebody he wants to like teach a lesson to because he clearly doesn't appreciate The lives that he's playing with and the he doesn't have a he doesn't hold value Or he doesn't really respect the position that he holds either Plus, we know that Hoffman and Amanda are returning as well. So I'll tell you what I'm excited to see this story come to life in October because something is telling me This will be one of my favorite entries as I've stated multiple times when I talk about Saw X My hope is that they find a way to just let this be a nice closing chapter On the contributions Tobin Bell has been making to this franchise since its inception in 2004 And that they can try to move on in advance to a project that does not rely on Tobin Bell because I feel like with this They're kind of admitting that okay spiral didn't work. Let's bring back Tobin I hope that this is a success and they can move forward without Tobin Let me know what y'all think about this down in the comment section below If you haven't already, of course, make sure you go ahead and subscribe Turn on post notification that you never miss a video in the description.
