 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here We're gonna talk about a few different things in this video Primarily this video is gonna be dedicated to a theory surrounding scream 7 and it's gonna entertain the idea of how the film doesn't need Sydney Prescott and it also quite literally does not need Sam Carpenter You don't need the core for you don't need gale weathers. You don't need any of these characters to honestly be back We're gonna primarily talk about how this could work if they wanted to do this and if they want to completely reboot Just entertaining that idea and then we're gonna talk about a lot of other horror updates related to Maxine Jurassic World Jurassic Park 7 whatever you want to call that we're gonna talk about the predator franchise And then we're gonna talk about Friday the 13th. So just to start off here with this scream 7 theory So it's a true crime theory of mine It's going to be mostly inspired by the we don't need Sam and we don't need Sydney crowd and you're absolutely correct We don't need either of those characters like I mentioned. You don't need gale. We don't need any returning characters We simply want them to have completed plans that clearly existed before spyglass torpedoed the entire creative aspect of the upcoming film Now despite that. Yes, like I mentioned, we don't need these characters So let's pretend scream 7 is 99% not connected to one through six besides simply being in the same world I say 99% because I have an ending in mind that builds to a potential scream 8 our opening target is someone with a Deep disdain for true crime. They hate stab ghost face Ted Bundy. You name it They hate all of those things related to true crime anything related to exploiting real-world tragedies. They hate it and cannot stand it Let's say this person is a teenage boy in his senior year of high school He has an entire podcast dedicated to why true crime is bad for our culture and how it impacts the youth of America he's from Woodsboro so the disdain for ghost base and gale weathers is a little personal to him and There's an active killer that's knocked off three or four teens in the last month Now one night after finishing recording a new episode for his podcast. He hears some noises downstairs Naturally, he goes to check them out. We the viewer get to see a ghost face killer is in his house stalking him from the shadows We get some stalking sequences But he doesn't know what we do yet and it can be very reminiscent of West's scene in screen 5 This leads to an all-out brawl Once ghost face makes their presence known But ghost face in this opening is killed by the boy and we jump to sometime later still in their senior year It's right around graduation time The podcast teen has given up his passion and is just seen as a traumatized student who still hates true crime Then we meet a group of teens who are also seniors at the same high school as our opening survivor Our main protagonist can be a Sydney or Sam type her parents just got divorced So she's upset about that but she has a loving boyfriend and a group of friends who all love true crime and horror just as much as she does So they're the complete opposite of our opening victim Naturally because of their interest in horror and true crime the new killer that arises starts targeting them But wait if the opening teen killed his attacker then where does this new ghost face come from? Some of you might expect me to say that the killer had an accomplice that was never revealed But that's far too easy and expected Ultimately what I would do is the new ghost face killer would be revealed to be the teen boy with the podcast who survived his opening attack He's gone off the deep end. So you have a victim turned killer for the first time ever. What's their issue though? See the ghost face attack at the beginning of the film Would be connected to an online group of people that make bets on people's lives and the podcast kid just happened To be the unfortunate pick of the week at the time the group would pick a student at their school and bet on if they'd make it out alive That's why three or four other people were already dead before the opening attack Where does the protagonist and her friend group come in though? Well, her boyfriend was a member of this betting group and the podcast team found this out and assumed She and the rest of her friends knew about it But they didn't know the kids motive is all tied to true crime and how these people represent everything He believes in terms of how it corrupts the youth of America since he almost lost his life Thanks to a sick game involving betting on people's lives ultimate goal for him is framing the boyfriend and Exposing the online betting community that he was a part of which all of this would be a success And they do what Jill Roberts was so close at doing this person actually gets away with it And then at the end during their graduation We can hear a voiceover in their head post high school graduation It lets us know they plan to strike again and are considering paying a visit to some familiar Woodsboro faces now the reason I say they are considering paying a visit to some familiar Woodsboro faces is that it lets the film in Very conclusively while also still teasing the future this person got away with it They exposed the online betting community and they are like a vigilante of sorts in terms of what they are Or how they view themselves They took out the people Responsible for their almost potential death if they didn't survive that opening There went after the the boyfriend exposed him The boyfriend was framed for all of this stuff related to his friends dying his girlfriend dying because she ultimately would have died In this story and this person is going to tease of in their mind a voiceover of Potentially going after familiar Woodsboro faces I say familiar Woodsboro faces so that way it can be left ambiguous So just so that way if you don't lock down an f-camble if you don't lock down any of these returning people that we all Would love to see back at least you aren't stating a obvious bit of dialogue at the end of a scream seven like this That makes it very confusing if you don't even follow through with that bit of dialogue Just say familiar Woodsboro faces, but you guys can let me know what you think about something like that as a as a story potential For screen seven again, this is my theory a way to explore true crime You don't need any of the returning stars You could absolutely tease going back to returning stars at the end of the film to petite just to tease a potential screen eight But even then it can be executed in a way that's still conclusive and it can function as an into the franchise if necessary So we're gonna dive into Some other horror updates let's talk about Jurassic World 4 or Jurassic Park 7 I don't know what you want to call this because this film has been given a release date of July 2nd 2025 Deadline reported this in several of the reputable outlets the bullet train director David Leach is in talks to direct according to deadline The new movie as we know will be a completely fresh take on a Jurassic era with Jurassic World cast members Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard Not expected to return nor the original trilogies. That's being Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neil deadline reports This reiterates the previous reports that Jurassic World aims to enter a new era for the franchise Now Leach wouldn't have been a bad choice at all and I'll get to why I say he wouldn't have been a bad choice at all in the second Especially if the OG writer who is returning has cooked up a tremendous story for him to bring to life Until proven otherwise, I'll say that this has the potential to be better than the last four Jurassic Park films It quite honestly does Just tap into the horror roots and go from there. Now the reason I said Leach wouldn't have been a bad choice Is because it looks like he actually The talks with him fell through according to deadline this report came out today Universal is back on the search for a director to helm its next Jurassic World movie as deadline is hearing David Leach is no longer in talks to direct the film insiders say The parting was amicable and that ultimately the studio and Leach had different visions for the film Who do you guys want to see direct Jurassic World 4 or Jurassic Park 7 whatever you want to call it David Leach I don't think would have been the biggest problem with the narrative as much as I could have seen his handling of characters Being a problem just from what I've seen in the past He would have had definitely had to Honing on making us care about the characters not that that's really what people come to these movies for but I still think you can Successively tell a compelling Jurassic World film with characters You can get behind and stop relying on the past if you actually can just invest in the future with quality characters to get Behind so the the next thing we're going to talk about here is Maxine Maxine's first trailer could drop during the Super Bowl this Sunday according to World of Real They have been right in the past about things but we'll see if 824 pulls the trigger on Maxine during the big game this Sunday It's not been announced by them. It's I'll just like I'll just say this is a rumor at this point I Imagine that these are some of the things the trailer will tease or showcase Maxine's role in the Puritan 2 since we know she's starring in a movie a glimpse at the killer's costume Some moments about the farmer's darter tape from X and some other glimpses of the cast such as Kevin Bacon stalking Maxine in the film These are just guesses because I don't know what the trailer could actually reveal It would be wonderful if the trailer has this some like let's say the trailer has the words this summer attached to it If it actually drops during the Super Bowl, it'd be wonderful to see that just to confirm what Michelle Monaghan Speculated about during a recent interview where she'd addressed Maxine possibly coming out this summer Will the trailer drop this Sunday during the Super Bowl? We'll have to wait and see my best guess is it might just drop online and not actually during the actual event They're just gonna drop it during the big game Well, we'll have to wait and see because I know all of you myself included are dying to see this trailer Those of us who are anticipating Maxine. We need this trailer now. We're gonna jump into Predators So Dan Trachtenberg is on board to write and direct Battlin's which is a new standalone Predator movie Deadline reports the film is a high priority for the studio and sources say Trachtenberg and execs are already meeting with talent For the lead role the site report continues plot details are being kept under wraps other than it featuring everyone's favorite Extraterrestrial big-game hunter It's also not known about release plans as the last film exclusively streamed on Hulu But given that 20th century has been very much back in the theatrical game with films like boogeyman and the upcoming alien Film bound in theaters a theatrical premiere isn't out of the question I've also believed the reports that have come out mentioned that this will also be a female lead film Just like prey the report also mentioned prey to being in the works and several other Predator projects being possible Also this film in particular Battlin's I think it's supposed to be set in the future sometime I don't know where exactly but I want to say I think the v-scooper might have been dropping some details about How this project could end up being on their Twitter for those of you who want to go digging on the view on the v-scoopers Twitter to see what this story could potentially look like. I didn't have a problem with prey I haven't revisited prey since it dropped. I thought it was one of the better predator movies Granted some people found it to be overly woke and you know this dad and the third I get where you're coming from some stuff About it. Yes, isn't really believable. I get it Well when I think about some of the other predator projects, I don't take a lot of issue with prey I think it's a very competently made addition to the predator franchise Where last thing we're going to talk about here is related to Friday the 13th Friday the 13th prequel show Crystal Lake apparently was slated to shoot this March But is now going to actually begin filming this summer Previously Brian Fuller led a fandom on Instagram that spring summer shoot was the goal anyway Now according to Friday the 13th franchise calm the series is indeed going to shoot this summer According to their sources and not this spring The report also noted that cast members have been locked and just are waiting to be announced Crystal Lake is going to be better than Chucky That is my bold prediction about this show at the moment. I can't wait to see who was joining joining Adrian since she's returning I'm looking forward to how the show examines Jason and mrs. Vorahease's Relationship and of course the 80s writer that's rumored to be involved I cannot wait for his name to be confirmed. Yes, it's a he take your guesses down below What do you guys hope to see in Crystal Lake? What do you want from Crystal Lake? Do you still just not prefer to have a show after all and you would rather just get a new movie? I think that's the case for a lot of you I don't really take issue with it at this point because Jason has been gone for my life for over a decade I just want to see Jason in a competent capacity the same way I've been getting Chucky in some modern decent to competent capacity Let me know what you guys think about this down the comment section below if you haven't already Of course, make sure you subscribe turn on post notifications that you never miss a video in the description I'll have links on my social media accounts.
