 What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlaw here We're gonna be talking about scream 7 in this video mostly here today going over Michael Kennedy and his comments that he shared Related to scream 7 and the scream franchise in general and how this could relate to like some narrative directions that could not happen in scream 7 Talk about that cuz he had an interview about his upcoming film It's a wonderful knife with the Hollywood reporter and they of course started asking him about scream 7 due to that image They came out of him landing and radio silence out at dinner or something recently in the past But going over that and sharing my thoughts on his comments Michael Kennedy We know has worked with Christopher Landon in the past He was asked about scream 7 in a recent interview with the Hollywood reporter They asked him have you offered your two cents on scream 7 over coffee yet? He stated not yet, but I will I will say if they or he said I will if they let me read the script I mean I talk about scream constantly with Chris now pay attention to that Says he he talks about scream constantly with Chris Goes on to say we're working on some other stuff together right now So it does come up every once in a while all toss a little nugget out there blindly not knowing what the story is about But Chris has got a really good poker face now. I will say this This is my response to Kennedy's comments I think Michael knows more than this interview would have us to believe Notice he says he hasn't read the script, but you don't have to read the script to know what's in your friend's Story, especially again, if not just one but several friends are working on the project He didn't say that he doesn't know anything about the story, but he has he has just stated that He didn't read the script and if that's true, that's fine But I recall Michael Kennedy also having at one point did read the script for screen 5 and He did say that one of the better scripts. He had read that year So, how do we not know that they haven't had a discussion with mr. Kennedy to tell him not to make it known That he's read the script like he did last time. I'm just throwing it out. There's a possibility Granted he did go out on Twitter and state that he is not Involved in the process of Scream 7 basically I think this is his way of shooting down the Speculation that he wrote that wrote the screen playing sort of some sort of capacity and I will address that later I will say this though lack of involvement does not mean that you are ignorant on the project That's all I'm trying to get at and it does not mean that what I'm saying and speculating is the case with mr. Kennedy we know Landon has actually told us through Cravens channel Cravens of the scary shout out to you that he basically Has a hand in the writing process whether he gets credit or not So we'll actually see if Guy and James will get credit alone or if Landon will be the third writer listed because again guys Remember I did tell you guys as of now what I and many of you should still expect Is for this to still be Guy and James's story now if it's somehow not that's fine But for right now Guy and James are the ones who pinned Scream 7 Michael Kennedy I was not ever expecting him to be to receive any sort of credit because the story to my knowledge is still the bulk of The bulk of it is still coming from the mind of Guy and James Kennedy also did discuss the idea of Scream going down the new nightmare route He said it's kind of the same thing as Tyler referring to Tyler Gillette It's one of those ideas that's so clever that you can really only do it once and I feel like West Craven and new nightmare nailed it I love that movie So I feel like you're already start staring down or starting down a point by just doing it in another another way If another franchise did it scream is probably the most likely one But I think you have to find a really solid story because it could easily become one note A lot of people also wanted Jason Friday through the 13th movie set in snow But you asked their reasoning they'll say blood on the snow looks cool and it's like well What's the next step after that? So that's kind of how I feel about Scream doing that super meta version It's like what's the step after everybody playing themselves? What is actually happening and I can never think of a good enough reason to have Neve Campbell playing Neve Campbell This interview I will say also highlighted something I guess Tyler Gillette said in the past and that's if Scream goes new nightmare That would be like a dog chasing its own tail and I do think that's a hundred percent accurate It can be done, but would it be effective? I don't know I do want to also say this from the stuff that I've had shuffled around or Shuffled around my way over the past summer in earlier parts of the year Scream 7 doesn't seem to be going down the new nightmare route and that's a good thing in my honest opinion Thank God just to double back to the screenplay really quick Michael Kennedy's comments if you pay attention to these does it not confirm that there's a screenplay ready for everyone I know I saw a lot of people saying oh, how do we know there's a script ready? There is no script ready We pretty much did have an indication that the screenplay was ready because the writer strike is not a sign that the screenplay Isn't isn't ready. That's a sign that we're in a writer strike. That's all that's a sign of the screenplay was ready Before the strike occurred they were trying to fast-track this thing to shoot in October 2024 According to what viewer now was telling us and things were aligning perfectly leading up to Forward having it with the strike, but Michael Kennedy's comments here They do kind of confirm that the script is in place He's not saying that the script is ready He did just say he will give his two cents if they let him read the script to me That's a sign that there is a script already prepared and they're ready to get this thing going once the actor strike is over with Now the last thing I want to address here is Stu Mocker because he talked about Stu. He said I think Stu should remain dead I know that these slashing movies play with logic in that that I go in saying I'm going to turn my brain off a little bit but and not be so stuck on making sure everything tracks But he's such an iconic character wanting more of somebody's a good thing But sometimes wanting more not getting it is a good thing too He he's so good in the first movie and I just don't think that there's a reason to bring him back If you can find a clever way to bring him back where his character is still dead I'm all for that same here with me But it would just feel weird to me that no one mentioned that Stu was alive in the last 27 years He's absolutely right or that his body was never found I've heard people pitch the idea that his family faked his death or stole a body and I just don't know how you justified I also don't think Stu was a mastermind Billy was the mastermind But I do love Matthew Lillard and if they found a way to do it then sure why not? I've been saying the same thing if you somehow concocted a way to make it work I will come out here and praise the hell out of it I just don't see it happening because it's too far down the rabbit hole now for that to be Plausible and not having a lot of hiccups along the way so I would say let's avoid all of those hiccups just for the sake of Having a more coherent and cohesive story that's being told so I also will say this I don't think that scream 7 is going down the path of having Stu Mocker back as alive in any capacity That's not to say that Stu Mocker won't necessarily be in the movie at all whatsoever Stu Mocker Billy Loomis anyone could show up in scream 7 that does just not mean that they will be alive I trust as of now Stu Mocker will not be alive in scream 7 if he happens to be alive And they somehow execute it well like I said before I will praise it People have to recognize while you do not want something to happen That does not mean that you will be ignorant towards being fair and fairly criticizing it if it's done well I just don't think it's possible if some masterful screenwriter is able to accomplish that this time around I'm gonna praise it But it's nice to have these comments from Michael Kennedy. It's nice to have him acknowledge the existence of the script It's nice to have his thoughts on the new nightmare stuff related to scream And again, it does not seem the screen 7 will be going down that path either from what has been shuffled my way over the past Season or so spring and earlier or spring to summer Let me know what you think about this down in the comment section below if you haven't already course make sure you subscribe turn on post notification There's a video in the description of links to my social media accounts.
