 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here in this video I'm gonna be talking about some things that Jamie Kennedy recently had to say Regarding his characters demise. We all know Jamie Kennedy is responsible for the fan favorite character of Randy Meeks Who was in the first first three screen films? He died in the second movie, of course He had some things to say During a recent sit-down that he had with the cheat sheet showbiz cheat sheet to promote his upcoming of stand-up special on To be it's coming out. I believe it came out today, actually on The 25th of May which is today. He had some interesting tidbits to share regards to his character's legacy The fact that he is very understanding of why the character of Randy died and also he I Feel like what he basically had to say here what I took away from this is that he feel like his character served its purpose and the character had a good run that those are some things he had to say briefly and He's satisfied with how things how things turned out not to say that he would never get back in the character's shoes But I feel like he's fine with keeping the character dead So I'm gonna get into some things that they talked about He basically for the most part was saying how excited he is about the upcoming project and how excited he is that a lot of people A new generation rather is going to be experiencing the screen series and they get to be a part of screen 5 They're gonna get to see screen 5 hopefully in theaters when everything is back to the way it should be Or when we figure out what what our new norm was going to be He basically shared tidbits and talked about how he's Into the what into the horror genre and everything that's going on with it today from the jordan peels To the jason blums a 24 he talked about hereditary and the witch I'm gonna go over one of the one of the quotes they have here from it He said horrors horrors in an incredible in an incredible place Between jordan pill and jason blum the a 24 and hereditary and the witch. There's just all different types of horror James won. It's really evolved into this wonderful place Psycho psychological with a lot of levels to it. It's taken what scream had done scream was meta and now it's gone even more Now what caught me by surprise was how He did say that He feels that with screen 5 They're gonna get a he hopes that they they basically give us the same feel of what we're used to But he thinks that it'll have some of today's new twist in it Now what i'm getting from that is jamey kennedy is hoping that in screen 5 We have some type of psychological aspect to it some type of meta mix with psychological mix with Multiple meanings, which i'm perfectly fine with I feel like screaming itself was has multiple meanings already I don't think we need to go too far down the road of Of a hereditary or mid-summer or the witch for that matter all the which are good films I just don't really fancy us getting a heavy aspect of that from a screen film But I can understand what he's saying. There's plenty of ways they can implement that in a way Uh And then he also basically went on to talk about the character of randy because we I know a lot of people Are still upset that the character Past or got killed off in screen 2 He did have a brief cameo in screen 3 of course to tell us about the end of the ending trilogy rules when screen When screen was once planned as a trilogy and screen 3 was going to be the final chapter They brought him back for screen 3 What I want what I want to talk about here from that is how He basically is is excited for the fact that his character Not even as his as a character but him as an actor him being jamey kennedy He's excited to be an audience member for screen 5 um Now i'm guessing that means he he is basically confirming all book confirming That he is not going to be participating in screen 5 We won't know officially who and will not be participating until we actually have an official casting announcement Uh or until of course we get another news a set of news where we get confirmation that Someone else has joined the cast like with david archett But he's excited to be an audience member and be on the outside looking in for screen 5 He is looking forward to seeing courtney cox Uh david archett and neff cambell the surviving trio returned um He just he just wanted to see this new adventure that the film takes them on So with that being with him talking about it like that i'm he's either keeping it a secret or he's At this point in the game i i don't unless radio silence and spyglass media have instructed everybody To go around and potentially talk about screen 5 if asked but don't Don't disclose your involvement until unless unless given permission or unless it comes from us directly um So he's either teasing or this is all this is all the confirmation that we are not going to be seeing jamie kennedy Or the character of randy meek's in screen 5 so For all those people who are wanting him to be alive and having faked his death It doesn't sound like we're beginning that me personally randy faking his death and then showing up all these years later again no it's I i love the character of randy. I love it. I love that character character They were able to bring him back somehow of course bring him back But again, not all of these characters need to need to be alive to be brought back you We we seen randy come back in screen 3 perfectly fine I feel like the only thing you could do with any of these characters at this point is just have Sydney have hallucinations of them all being together in their middle ages and things like that a nice little scene where we have Neve Campbell playing sydney prescott. She's reminiscing and she's imagining what her life would have been if none of her friends Had been killed and billy lumis wasn't a crazed killer. She's imagining herself in modern times with Uh, a modern middle-aged skeet olrich who can play billy lumis again, of course in that hallucination jamie kennedy's back as randy Uh rose mcgoen can appear as tatum. Matthew lilor back as stew That's the farthest thing. I think we'll get to having any of these characters back at this point Uh, I never really was a big fan of that. He faked his death thing I know when that theory was going around though jamie kennedy actually was a fan of it Not to say and what I what I don't what I want to bring up is the fact that him being a fan of it Doesn't mean that okay. Let's make this happen. Okay. Yeah, this is this is something that definitely needs to happen In one of the movies. He's probably just a fan of the theory in itself like how i'm a fan of Um stew mocker being alive and being one of the ghost faces in an upcoming film now I'm a fan of it, but At the end of the day Is that really going to be something that needs to happen? Will it make a lot of sense? Will it be something that is even going to be worthwhile? Is it something we should even venture into at this stage of the game? No uh anyone who's dead right now do not bring them back and If you're gonna bring them back bring them back in a way that honors the character and it's just something It's gonna have to be done in an hallucination type of way. I'm pretty sure randy doesn't have any more tapes lying around I'm pretty sure during the production of screen three They didn't film extra tapes just in case they decided to come back down the road and make a screen four five and six Because again screen was planned as a trilogy Um, but when he was speaking about the character of randy, he basically had this to say he said I'm dead. So I think it's great I know all the people involved. They're like an extended family. I think it's great Uh, it'll be interesting to see. I think it's awesome that it that it will keep going for sure um and then also Let's talk about that bit. He says he knows all the people involved now. I'm assuming he's talking about Nev david and courtney or just Those three in general. I don't believe he's getting into the fact that he knows who's involved with screen five um But if he is he might have also just lately loosely let us know that the movie's going to be moving forward and be a continuation from screen four Um, and then also getting into the fact that he doesn't regret the character of randy dying Um, because that was one of the biggest surprises. I've made mention of this for quite some time This this the film series itself scream hasn't taken any risk in my honest opinion since Randy's death they've they've teased that they were going to take risk in screen three They didn't kill off one of the main three. They didn't take any risk really in screen three The only risk they took was becoming Uh, a convoluted story that loops itself back into the whole the whole original film Which is fine because it's not that convoluted. It makes sense But still we know that wasn't the original intent. We know roman wasn't always the plan uh When speaking about the character of randy some more kennedy said this he said look I had a good run It was a good run people really love my character I think the fans There's not a day that goes by where i'm in public where I don't run into somebody where they just say Yeah, hey man randy you randy should have never been killed And he believes their voice their voice was silenced when I was killed because um, the voice of the characters Because randy was the voice of the characters of the audience Um, the audience lived through that character. They lived through randy and as many of us know I feel like a lot of us agree with that randy spoke for us randy was the audience He was our mouthpiece. He was everybody in that theater in 1996 combined into one person Um, he said when asked if he regrets it. Well, actually, I don't even think he was asked But he said do I regret it? No, that's what makes scream great because you kill people off that you love and you care about Then you don't know what the next one is that will keep you on your toes So they keep killing off important figures or characters. That's what keeps the series so vibrant Now That's an important bit right there. That's what keeps the series so vibrant The series itself has not in that regard the series has not been keeping itself vibrant that way. We have not Scream has been playing it safe. The series itself has been playing it safe since screen two glimpses of sydney dine Have just been teased sydney herself the character does not need to die um But one of the main three need to go it needs to be either Dewey or gale one of them needs to go at this point. We need to take risk Nobody's going to be accepting sydney dine sydney's the heart and soul of the franchise sydney dine isn't going to be accepted until until the last movie if she's even around by then Uh, or if they even get to make a last movie assuming screen five isn't intended to be the final film Nobody's going to going to want to see sydney die. We have to take risks somehow. We have to kill dewey or gale uh jamie kennedy speaking on this and recognizing that is something that I now feel confident in my Uh statements when I in my same sentiments when I say that the scream series hasn't taken any risk Since randy died they have not they've just been playing it safe Uh one of the main three needs to die It's time one of them has to go We all love these characters. It's not a matter of us wanting them to go. It's a matter of taking risk and recognizing that hey We can honor the past Making them a part of the present while building towards the future Either dewey or gale one of them needs to go with I can I I very much appreciate what jamie kennedy had to say in that Last bit of that interview because it speaks to me in such a massive way The it's not a matter of us not liking these characters and thinking that oh If they die it's not going to be it's not going to be something we'll miss We're going to miss that character It's a simple fact of us taking risk and doing doing something that is different doing something That is going to be respectable to the character if we're going to kill them off We're not just going to kill them off and then not bring them up again They're still going to be very much a part of this they they're always going to be a part of scream Dewey and gale and city are always going to be scream But dewey or gale in my opinion it's time for one of these one of our main three need to go they need to go Uh, we've been with them for a long period of time over 20 years We've seen them go through some of course four four different ghost race killing sprees at this stage in the game And it's time for one of them to just Get gutted and be gone Um, that's my honest opinion on it's not a matter of us not loving these characters that We want some of us want them to go In in the weirdest way I know some or I already hear the people in the comment section We want them to go because we love them They're growing tired some of them are growing tired the the running gag of them constantly living through this is growing tired We need to uh, keep keep a couple of them around in my in my personal pain. I keep around gale gale and uh Gael and dewey at this point not gael and do I mean sydney and dewey uh gale can die and then just Just build up into a scream six with a fresh new set of supporting characters some of which can return from screen five Um in the series rightfully do something risky in the final stages of this series But let me know what you guys think about all this down the comments Comment section below What do you think about jamie kennedy's comments on this if you haven't if you haven't already make sure you subscribe It's on our post notifications so that you never miss a video in the description I'll have links on my social media accounts on my facebook turn on instagram You can message me there to let me know if there's any movies news or reviews You would like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys.
