 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here We're gonna be talking about scream seven in this video here today, so it is a official It would appear that Nev Campbell is a hundred percent going to be returning as Sydney Prescott in the upcoming seventh entry in the beloved Iconic franchise that West Craven and Kevin Williamson gave us back in 96 She announced this over on Instagram this morning saying hi all I'm so excited to announce this news Sydney Prescott is coming back. It's always been such a blast and honor to get to play Sydney in the screen movies My appreciation for these films and for what they have meant to me has never waned I'm very happy and proud to say I've been asked in the most respectful way to bring Sydney back to the screen And I couldn't be more thrilled well Actually, I could which I've been while I've been so incredibly lucky to make these films with both the master of horror West Craven and the wonderfully talented Matt and Tyler team I've dreamt for many years of how amazing it would be to make one of these movies with Kevin Williamson at the Helm and now it's happening Kevin Williamson is going to direct screen 7 this was his baby And it's his brilliant mind that dreamt up this world that Kevin is not just an inspiration as an artist But has been a dear friend for many years to the amazing screen fans I hope you are as excited as I am see you on set at Kevin Williamson who she of course tagged in the post now see The context of this I'm not gonna lie It does have me excited, but at the same time, it's the it's the manner in which God it's it's a catch-22 for me on one end. I'm very excited to see Kevin Williamson at the helm of a screen movie I am happy that Neve Campbell seems to be very Happy I guess with what they're doing with Sydney Prescott Which makes me less worrisome as someone who really cares about the direction of the character Cares about the material that she has to work with I still find screen 4 to be her weakest outing But I am just excited to see what's to come in regards to this But then there's that second thing that's still weighing on me and that's just the fact that this is still coming from a spyglass and I'm more than likely not going to see this movie countless times the way I've done in the past with 5 and 6 because I do not like what has been happening with spyglass and What has happened with the core 4 but what's going to happen is I will of course experience my one freebie and then that'll be it I'll give my review and then I will let you know if scream 7 was good or not And that'll be the end of that I'll get my free copy of it sent to me as well in the mail when that time comes but Kevin Williamson again at the helm of a screen project. That's a very exciting very excited I just want to entertain this really quick. I think this is very fitting as Someone who has heard in the past from Kevin Williamson that he's content with just writing or being a producer It will look is it would appear as though the circumstances of what happened with landing Let to spyglass obviously approaching Kevin Giving him some opportunities that he couldn't pass up on or mentioning some things that he couldn't pass up on and now He's in the helm or at the helm to direct this upcoming film Which is being written by guy Busek for those of you who saw my tweet a few days ago I did put out that guy Busek would be solely writing this film by himself I wasn't trying to discredit the fact that the story wasn't still from James Vanderbilt and guy Busek But when it came down to the overall screenplay guy Busek was going to be the one Getting the credit or at least what I heard was it would be guy and some other writer But guy Busek seems to be the one who is getting all the credit while the story is primarily Coming from him and James Vanderbilt collaborating again But that's why I put out that there would be no no Vanderbilt because apparently Vanderbilt wasn't going to be the sole writer accredited it would be guy Unlike the reports were stating that James and guy were writing it together It looks like they came up with the story and then guy has fleshed it out And he's gonna be the sole one credited as the writer, which is fine I do think guy is the stronger writer out of the two. That's my own opinion there as far as again circling back to Sydney Prescott Nev's post as someone who really does not want to see any more Sydney Prescott in the screen franchise Nev's post does make me a little bit more like I said, let's worry some She seems to have gone over this screenplay There's something in it that appealed to her and if it appealed to her I'm open to seeing what it is That's not done and then mean that obviously that Whatever it is. I'm gonna be on board with it But there's yet to be an outing even with for being her weakest in my opinion There's yet to be an outing that I've seen her participate in why I've just come why I've thought that this is a poor use of Sydney Prescott Unless we would have got her in six because again in six it didn't seem like she really was gonna do much She just kind of showed up and then left Allegedly, but I doubt that scream seven will be a weak outing for Sydney Prescott I hope not anyway because I've yet to see Nev agree to appear in these movies And they've just used Sydney in a lackluster capacity granted again I think four is her weakest showcase as Sydney But even then that one still gave her purpose and gave her meaning It just wasn't as strong as what I saw with her avenging do we and finally getting that closure and that bond Solidify with Gail and screen five granted she had less screen time But there was a lot more significance to her role in five and Ghostface has a lot more Significance she had a lot more significance to Ghostface's motive in five I would argue too because Jill's plan didn't really require Sydney It was just an added bonus. She just wanted to be Sydney and you don't need Sydney there to be her You just got an added bonus because you get to kill your cousin in the mix of also trying to replace her What do you guys think about this? Yes, Nev Campbell Sydney Prescott 100% is back We are not going to be going into all of the negative surrounding Melissa in this video I'm just still saying that that's why I'm a little bit on the fence about it. I'm one hand I'm excited but on the other hand, it's still spyglass. I wish they would sell the rights Realistically, I know they're not going to I've addressed that countless times in my video I can still prefer they sell the rights and then also still recognize that if I want to keep my feet on the ground and be realistic and not get my underwear in a mix or in a tangle They're not going to because they have a profitable IP on their hands would scream and all they have to do is produce these films are relatively cheap Which I'm sure they will but I hope the Nev Campbell and Kevin Williamson have fun Collaborating together. She again seems very excited about what's to come for Sydney Prescott So I'm open to at least giving it a chance and seeing what this new story will entail for one of my favorite characters One of my comfort characters because I only have three Sydney Prescott Harry Potter Buffy Summers those are my three comfort characters. So for everyone who thinks I hate Sydney Prescott You're just absolutely wrong. You misunderstand and for those of you who reach out to me countless times And you are well aware that I don't hate Sydney You're just seeing that I'm trying to give a nuanced approach to this and I still stand by that I think her story is done, but if they have come up with a very Crucial new chapter Hopefully just sends her off in the best way possible and we can write Sydney off completely send her off into the sunset. Let her live her happy life And that'll be the end of it Let me know what you guys think about all of this down in the comment section below Are you looking forward to seeing Nev Campbell back at Sydney Prescott?
