 Jill is screening her calls from all past relationships. What's going on over there? What is he saying? What I can barely hear you Trevor Oh, all right. Well, then why do you have his phone? What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here so in this video, I'm gonna be talking about the survival or the potential survival of Kirby read a beloved character from the latest entry in the screen series screen for which was released Almost 10 years ago, which is a little bit hard for me to still believe because I remember I It feels like I saw that movie in theaters just a few months ago Honestly, I can't believe it's been that long since we had a screen film But as we all know Hayden Pancier was casted and she portrayed Kirby read in screen for Kirby was like a very cool mix of Sydney she had that final girl type of vibe to her and Randy she had the movie knowledge of horror movies and everything that fans loved about Randy And she was just like she was like a different I would say a more confident version of a Final girl that we could get to leave the series. I feel like she had she was more bold I feel like she's way more bold compared to Sydney. I wouldn't mind seeing her carry a fifth film If she is believed to be reprising her role as many fans have already speculated I believe Hayden Pancier is gonna come back as Kirby But I'm just gonna get into the topic of the title which is that Kirby was never announced as being dead She actually never got announced as dead. This is not the same as Randy This isn't the same as everyone else who has died in the past where they have been announced as being dead Or where the simple fact matters We've gotten a sequel where we've seen their relatives Essentially confirming that they are dead and the character themselves stating on video that this means that they have died If you don't understand what I'm talking about I'm making reference to Randy and all the fallout with Randy and how many people still for whatever reason want to say that Randy is alive Randy is dead Kirby is not dead Nor has she ever been confirmed as dead. In fact, her survival was intentionally left out So in the script for screen for this is coming from commentary off of the screen for If you have a copy of screen for on Blu-ray digital DVD, it doesn't matter The commentary when you watch it with the director West Craven He is on record in the commentary stating that Kirby's fate was actually she had lived in the draft of screen for But he left that portion out that survival scene of hers was left out That was left out intentionally to tease fans and to tease whether or not she had lived or not and What honestly at this point when you when you do something like that That's that's essentially the same thing as the person surviving because in your script the person lived you just cut it out So that's why Kirby did not die. We didn't see Kirby died. Kirby was never announced as dead Now they could very well just come along and have screen five be a continuation from screen for and Kevin Williamson Could say that Kirby Kirby died he could change his mind But Kevin Williamson was the one who wrote screen for he came back and wrote screen for He is executive producing this new screen film. So I would imagine he has some type of input on what is going to be happening I don't know who is writing this new screen film We still don't even know if it's going to be a sequel to screen for or not But with Hayden Panciere posting pictures late last year of the same hairstyle that she had when she portrayed Kirby and Just making reference to Kirby and a picture. She posted on Twitter I'm under the impression that Hayden Panciere was already contacted in regards to this project coming up because I just I just find it all very I'd be very disappointed if this was all just coincidence Hayden Panciere post a picture referencing Kirby then a few months later. We find out something about another screen film going into development and it being it starting to have production in May I Just feel like that's that would be a bit too disappointing for me if it was all just a coincidence I feel like Hayden Panciere's character is gonna come back I feel like Hayden Panciere is gonna reprise her role as Kirby I feel that the young woman being described in the brief synopsis that we've got on the brief plot summer We've done for this new upcoming screen film is in reference to Kirby If it's not hopefully it's in reference to Sydney or somebody that has some type of connection to the already established continuity Kirby was never announced as dead. We never saw her die That was that was blatantly left up in the air for that very specific reason I believe there were things online that that stated that Kirby's character was actually going to be spearheaded as The new type of lead taken over Sydney's role in the screen five Sydney would be taking the back seat and Kirby would be our new Sydney essentially I feel like that could work in a screen five If and when we get any more details on it We still again We don't know anything about what this movie is actually going to be But I just it just bothers me that so many people are quick to say that Kirby died Kirby died Kirby died. No, her survival was was left out. That does not mean she died In fact just going off of that and knowing that she lived in the script It was just left out a piece of the script was just missing from the actual movie That means that she actually did live now again because on screen four Her fate is left up in the air Her original fate was that we were going to already find out this year survived But her survival had just been left up to question She was going to be returning in a screen five and a screen six and then for whatever reason those movies never happened And now they could always just change things and make it where Kirby did actually die in screen four But we never actually got her confirmed is dead So for everyone who's really quick to say that Kirby's dead She was never confirmed as being dead. That's not the same as Randy Randy has been confirmed as dead Kirby has not and I hope Hayden Pantieri is coming back to reprise that role And I hope she is taking over as the new lead character in this upcoming screen film I hope all the other three remaining lead characters who have been with us in the other screen film Sydney Do we yeah, I hope they all return as well But I think that screen five should be led by Kirby if it's not Kirby I feel like this is just gonna be a very big blow to a lot of people's excitement for the project But let me know what you guys think about this video down in the comment section below if you haven't already Make sure you subscribe it's in a post notification So you never miss a video in the description I 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 views you'd like me to cover in the future With all that in mind guys.
