 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here in this video We're gonna talk about would West Craven want screen 5 to even be going on We know we're getting screen 5 at some point whether it be sometime next year possibly 2022 in between now and 2022 We are expecting to have screen 5 in theaters Neve Campbell. We're expecting her to return We know David Arquette's gonna be back. We're waiting to hear if Courtney Cox is gonna come back to reprise her role Everyone is anticipating Haiti paint Hayden Panter. We know Kevin Williamson is is back as an executive producer We have our script being written by a co-team of writers this time around Which honestly is something that's been going on unintentionally with the past couple of screen screen 3 and screen 4 were unintentionally co-written by Kevin Williamson and Aaron Krueger Unofficially But getting into the topic of the video would West Craven want this movie to even be happening We know unfortunately West Craven is no longer with us. He passed away in 2015 Before he could even get to make screen 5 now if I am a guessing man I would say yes, he would want us to have screen 5 happening I think if there is a afterlife further beyond this beyond this life That we're in right now I feel like if he's looking down on this He would be pretty satisfied if he has any deep hopefully he I don't know how the afterlife works But if he's been able to get a hand or be able to watch over and see how Everything is gonna be going on and how everything is handled or just even the idea of screen 5 happening I think he would be on board with it. We know for a fact that Kevin Williamson had approached him with the idea of screen 4 screen 5 and screen 6 Before he had went to the Weinstein's before Kevin Williamson to go on to the Weinstein's with the idea of the new trilogy He went to West Craven first to see if West would even be on board West Craven was on board. He was on board all the way through to He was he was on board for screen 5 back after screen 4 came out It wasn't a matter of West Craven wanting to direct it again or not It was a matter of where the Weinstein's going to actually be able to find somebody to replace Kevin Williamson Because a lot of people hone in on the fact that screen 4 didn't return a profit at the box office that really wasn't what the Real issue is in regards to why the film didn't happen screen 5 screen 5 was still very much being worked on If you look up reports from 2013 and everything you'll find some articles and West Craven himself even mentioning that he believes The last he heard of Bob Weinstein was trying to find a new writer What ended up hindering screen 5 not only was it the financial stuff, but they Basically lost Kevin Williamson Kevin Williamson went out there and he when he would get asked about screen 5 He said he's not doing it. He said he wasn't writing the script for it So then we started having reports coming out of screen 5 looking for a writer the Weinstein's We're looking for someone to write screen 5 West Craven was just a director. So he's just waiting for them to get their stuff together. So It wasn't a matter of West Craven not wanting to do screen 5 It was the Weinstein's and their inability to find somebody who I I guess they didn't find they couldn't find anybody Who they felt would be a suitable replacement To replace Kevin Williamson because as far as I know Kevin Williamson had ideas mapped out for this is Kevin Williamson So he had I he already had the whole trilogy map out or some tidbits of where he wanted to go He wanted to take screen 5 back to a college setting. We don't he didn't really explain what he had in store for screen 6 But he had a whole trilogy he wanted to do he he knew what he wanted to do going from screen 4 and unfortunately That got tainted along the way during the production process And he had to rewrite the script multiple times and that ultimately led to him abruptly leaving They brought an Aaron Krueger to retweak it and then we got that hospital ending but That relationship there losing Kevin Williamson that ultimately is what led to us having to wait a long time And then we basically heard nothing further on screen 5 they had lost their rider Kevin Williamson wasn't willing to go through that again with the Weinstein just Basically controlling every aspect of his script not being satisfied with anything and just like I feel like I don't know if You want to call it a lot of micro managing on set but West Craven himself he was already on board with what Kevin Williamson had planned he wanted to see He wanted to be on he was on board. He wanted to do screen 4 screen 5 screen 6 So knowing what's craving wanted to do that I would imagine right now now that we have the filmmakers from ready or not on on board to actually Hopefully continue what might have been planned. Maybe I don't think it's gonna be exactly what Kevin Williamson had in mind but possibly something that Just thought the idea of finishing the trilogy. I can't say that I believe what's craving would be against this I think he would be very much for it Of course if he was able to be here to direct it himself I feel like he would still want to hop on board to direct screen screen 5 because at the end of the day The only reason it didn't happen is because the Weinsteins didn't make a decision to move forward with the project They didn't make a decision West Craven made it abundantly clear that he he was wanting to go through and do what Kevin Williamson wanted to do with this new trilogy We also know that back in like 2012 if you scroll around on Twitter, you'll come across this tweet West Craven himself is like basically just always he was always responding to the fans and their Anticipation to have another screen movie. He responded to or he made it He tweeted out something basically saying do you guys really want another screen 5? so he's he's aware that there was interest there, so I Don't think Kevin Williams. I don't think the issue was what's craving didn't want to do it again The issue came down to the fact that not only did screen 4 not return a profit. They lost their rider for screen 5 Kevin Williamson already had ideas mapped out for screen 5 the production of screen 4 was such a hassle for him he walked out and they brought an Aaron Krueger to retweet his script and that's when Aaron Krueger threw in that hospital ending and When asked if he when asked about any updates regarding screen 5 Kevin Williams said he doesn't he doesn't know because he's not doing it He flat out said he's not doing it now Given what he said in this recent podcast. We got more context As to what was leading to that if you're working on a film and you have a script and I understand you have to answer to some people But when it's me when it's becoming a constant thing where they're just never satisfied and they're having you rework something That is your vision That's not gonna sit well with you because you know what you want to do Kevin Williamson's original script for screen 4 I don't see a single thing wrong with it outside of a few minor things that I would have tweaked in the center or in the middle of it a bit But the a lot of people want to hone in on the fact that that ending wouldn't have worked It's not a matter of fact that the ending wouldn't have worked It's the marketing had screen 4 been marketed properly There's nothing wrong with ending the movie on a cliffhanger like that screen 4 could have could have returned a profit Or a bigger profit with no issue had the marketing been better I I firmly believe that don't don't blame that on Kevin William. Don't go around saying well It's a good thing that ending didn't happen. It's not it's not that simple It's it goes more back to the marketing just because Kevin Williamson ended the movie on a cliffhanger I don't want to sit down and say oh, what's a good thing? We didn't get that At the end of the day, it's not gonna be the ending. It's the that that really hindered it. It's the marketing It's not a matter of the fact of the ending being bad. It's why didn't you guys promote this movie better? so There's nothing wrong with that Indian I would much rather finally got to see a film where Ghostface got away with it And West Craven like I said before he if with what's going on right now with us getting a new screen movie and The movie set to film in North Carolina and all that type of good jazz I don't think West Craven is having an issue with this if there is an afterlife I think he would be very much for this I think if again like I made mention if he was able to be here himself He would be behind the camera to direct it once again Or just lend any tips he could give if he's not able to direct because I know he was going through some things before he died I feel like he could be very useful on set, but it's unfortunate that he's no longer here with us, but if I'm just gonna say What I feel West's opinion in regards to what's happening now. I think he'd be very much for it I think he'd be for Neff Campbell Courtney Cox and David Arquette Wanting to honor him and move forward and learn that while he is not physically here All the memories and everything that they learned from him on set can still be utilized Under new leadership you can take what West taught you guys Still be these characters that we know in love and hopefully work with a group of people who have that same appreciation For West and have that same respect for him that they want to honor the films that you guys made with him And they can craft something that's gonna be a love letter to him Something that's gonna be something for fans of the Scream series to always appreciate and something that can hopefully either in the series on a high note Or bridge us into Scream 6 which would then I hope be our ending point Because again all my videos. I'm just talking about hypothetically what could happen not what I want to happen I don't want any other screen movies past Scream 6.
