 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So Gail whether it's Courtney Cox was recently on the Drew Barrymore show where she caught up with her former co-star Who starred in the original screaming the opening kill as Casey Becker? She caught up with her on the Drew Barrymore shore Barrymore show And she gave a slight update and tease what we can expect from screen 5 and what this new film will be about in ways Not anything really specific. So I'm just gonna share my thoughts on what I think she meant when she was asked and when she teased Basically the direction that this is going in We're all of course calling this screen 5, but this is what she stated She stated that this is the fifth one. It's not screen 5 though Cox explained to Barrymore This is scream the directors are incredible. They're making it. Absolutely. It's a new franchise Cox continued its hip. It's scary. It's just a new scream. It's not a reboot. It's not a remake It's just a brand new launch So my whole thing there is Many of you who saw that or heard what she said Not all of you, but of course many of you were Possibly thrown off. Well, if it's not screen 5, but it's also not a remake in or not a reboot What is it then? She's saying it's a new launch. So I'll try to explain what I think This whole franchise has been about Sydney Prescott and her trauma due to her mother's actions As a result of her own trauma from her assault in Hollywood that has spawned many different people Going after Sydney Prescott blaming their blaming her mother's actions on her and taking their anger out on their Their anger towards her mother on her in many different ways in many different fashions all under the costume of ghost face All under the ghost face costume That's what all these four films have been about Sydney Prescott being targeted by someone who wants her dead or wants to Be basically become her Referencing scream for there with that last statement They just all want to get back at her for something. They feel that she has taken from them That has been the formula for scream since its inception now. What's going to happen here is We're going to get something that's a breath of fresh air in ways Sydney Prescott will not be the only one getting targeted by ghost face. She will not be the only soul final girl She will be a final girl that will be joined by two new final girls the carpenter sisters Jen Ortega and Melissa Barrera They are starring in this film as a set of sisters who we know will We're presuming anyway that they'll be at the center of this new ghost face killing spree I did also just want to touch on something Jen Ortega Recently had a post on Instagram that she quickly uploaded and deleted Because apparently it was like a behind-the-scenes photo And it was very reminiscent of the opening shot of a house that we saw back when screen 5 started filming out in Wilmington, North Carolina So what I'm thinking is that of course Jen Ortega will be in the opening sequence But she'll make it out alive She'll just be the opening attack and what will happen is we'll follow this this young girl Similar to the way we follow Sydney Prescott and the killing sprees will be Surrounding this carpenter family dynamic Sydney Prescott is not going to be the focus of this new killing spree Sydney Prescott is going to be traveling to Wood'sboro after something happens with this new killing spree That gets her interest Or that gets her attention and makes her go to town to presumably help figure out what's going on and help these young girls Because she's been in their positions She'll end up learning some new things about herself presumably because again, that's the ultimate thing that will happen in the end That's probably the safest bet Sydney will come to town and the killers while they didn't intend to actually go after Sydney Prescott Her coming to town will just be a bonus because they have something against her too It's just not that big of a deal that they want to go target her They're targeting the carpenter sisters for reasons that we'll find out once they're revealed Once we find out who the killers are That is why this is not screen 5 according to Courtney Cox That is what I think she means when she's saying this is not screen 5 Because it's not following the same formula where it's sydney prescott versus a killer with a motive against just sydney prescott This is now a film where it's going to be paving or carving a path to introduce new audiences And it's introducing a whole new list of characters that will hopefully Make it out alive a good chunk of them Anyway should make it out alive those that are made made to feel important for the narrative progression will make it out alive sydney Will be the person that comes to town to assist And she'll ultimately find herself at the center of it all with these young women While she tries to help them figure out who is targeting them and what's happening in the town of woodsboro So she's not just going to be the sole final girl And it's not just going to be all about her anymore That is why Courtney Cox in my opinion is stating this film is not screen 5 It is what it's being called which is just scream now to you and i that's still screen 5 because you're not ignoring any of the other films you're not making this a direct sequel to the original and You're not ignoring the things that have come before anything that we have expected to occur in this one Everything is seemingly being remained canon. Uh, we know we have the mokker house coming back But we also know that sydney prescott will be taking a back seat In some way or another when it comes to having all the attention on her when it comes to these ghost face killing sprees She will not be the only one that this is about it'll be these carpenter sisters featuring sydney prescott That is exactly the formula that i am expecting for screen 5. That is why gail weathers Courtney cox stated what she stated Also, the other reason she stated what she stated is of course not to give away any specifics related to the story I'm just now speculating on what this could mean. That's my opinion on the whole thing Uh, it wasn't something that was too overly confusing in my opinion I just I was just now reading between the lines of what we know and what we should obviously be expecting as to why Someone would not consider this screen 5 especially coming from someone who has participated in all the other films Since this series inception when the first film dropped back in 1996 The formula has been the same It's always been sydney and a new ghost face killer and her friends gail and do helping her figure out What is going on? That's not going to be the same thing that happens this time. It's going to be shades of that But you're not the target anymore primarily sydney It's going to be these two new young women that you will somehow find some investment in what's going on with them You'll come to woodsboro and you will help them figure out what is going on Only to find out that these killers also have a gripe with you Since you came to town that gripe will be fulfilled They did not have a primary gripe with you though You will just now be an accessory to this since you decided to come to town That is exactly what I think is going to happen and why Courtney cox has not considered this to be screen 5 because it's shaking things up a bit in terms of the formula and what we've gotten in The past But let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below If you have already make sure you subscribe turn on post notification in this video in the description I have links on my social media accounts on facebook twitter and instagram you can message me there Of course, let me know if there's any movies or reviews you'd like me to cover in the future with all that in mind Guys, I will see you in the next video
