 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here, so I'm talking about scream 7 in this video here again today We're gonna be talking about the status of Jen or Tega and her participation or lack there of in scream 7 now as of now Of course there has been no official casting to confirm that Any of these people that were involved with scream 5 or scream 6 in terms of the core 4 or even Courtney Cox for that matter Hayden Pantiel or any other person who was added on to the cast in scream 6 and made it out alive like Josh Cigara there's been nothing that has come out officially from any outlets to let us know that they have officially signed on and will Be back to reprise their respective roles in scream 7 However, I have told you guys that there is a completed draft which seems to be true according to the fact that we now know What a working title of the movie is it's titled blackbird. I've told you that the expectation is that they will be Having radio silence on as producers Christopher Landon was alleged to be taking over for them as director and That ended up being reported that same week when I put out that video on Sunday and then At the same time of that video I said that everyone was expected to return Except for radio silence as a directors so that would indicate when I asked for clarity that would be the core 4 survivors Josh Cigara Hayden Pantiel and Courtney Cox at the time I also mentioned that Neff Campbell was not a part of that everyone But that does not mean that Courtney that that Neff Campbell will not be reprising her role as Sydney Prescott because of course She could always still sign a dotted line and come back into the fold So as of today one of the things that has seemingly started a fire online The smidgen of a fire for those that care about this of course like myself and many of you who care about what's happening with scream 7 Mr. Or my time to shine hello I'll just say my time to my time to shine one of those scoopers who many of you might be familiar with if you are Someone who follows them and knows that they have been very reliable in the past Put out a tweet saying it's unlikely that Jen or taiga will return for scream 7 They want to start filming as soon as possible after the strikes are over border But or taiga is a star now thanks to Wednesday and is super busy scream is just not a priority for her So then people started going what do you mean? It's not a priority How can it not be a priority when she helped make the last two such a success? I would say she had more to do with the success of six than the success of five if I'm being fair honestly however Viewer Anon chimed in and said I was told Jenna's doing scream 7 and that part of the reason they want to roll production So quickly is to accommodate her schedule. Guess we'll see if the strikes have an impact And then someone else chimed in saying Jenna's schedule is full for upcoming months So how exactly will they accommodate her her schedule viewer Anon said Wednesday season 2 is post scream 7 production May get pushed back as far as fall 2024 now I will say that same user who commented to viewer Anon Replyed again saying that apparently Wednesday is supposed to start shooting in October according to production weekly I will say this although production weekly is also reliable just like many other reliable things production weekly is not always correct So chances are that's gonna shift if there is no resolution to these strikes by the time October comes around They're not gonna be filming anything if the actors and the writers are still striking so Here are my thoughts on this whole thing Again like I stated I said that the expectation is that everyone will be back That means that they have roles for them in this draft that has already been completed by again Guy and James Christopher Landon might have had some might have had in hand in writing it time will tell he could have wrote the whole thing But as far as I know Guy and James wrote this film so Jenna of course has a role in this as Tara Carpenter The expectation is that she will be back to reprise her character if she is not back due to her schedule That is fine. And what do I mean by that? I mean that in a way that again She's becoming what the Neff Campbell talk of the town was when Neff Campbell was not gonna be a part of screen six as Unfortunate as that was to hear and as heart-breaking as that was here for many people you have to remember Jen or Tega. Yes, she has a very big fan base. I'm not gonna take that away from her that fan base not showing up for screen seven That's probably gonna make up a a Not as it's not as small of a fraction as the people who say oh, I'm not watching it because Neff isn't here Maybe even more so of a fraction But they're not making up the majority of the people who turned out to see screen six There's just no way that was the case most people who turn turned on the screen six or tuned in to see These upcoming screen films. It was due to great marketing. Yes, Jen or Tega's participation helped losing a big star like that I'm certain would take a will make the box office take a hit if they do not follow up with some even more stellar marketing at their disposal Like they can do for screen seven and still end up making possibly even more than they made from screen six in Jenna's absence but Jenna or Tega not being in the movie is not going to then mean it's going to flop I do not want to see that narrative start overtaking everyone's mind again, although if you decide to do that That's really on you. I'm just saying that Extreme take it's just it's just not necessary. There are so many different variables that could end up Overshadowing her lack of participation if she's not back. Yes, that would be unfortunate. It's unfortunate We won't get to see Tara Carpenter portrayed by Jenna or Tega once again. However That does not then mean they can't rise from the ashes Filling something for her that would replace her whoever that may be Hell, I'll say this if Tara isn't in the movie I could see us having a better chance of Seeing a cold coexisting story between split between Sam and Sydney Versus having this already likely overcrowded seven film that we're about to get if we're being honest There's so many survivors. There's probably gonna be a handful of newbies So then you toss in Sydney as many people want her to be back It's gonna be crowded if you remove someone I would say, okay I can get on board more a little bit with buying that you could sell me on a Sydney and Sam store where they both coexist as co-leads. So Let's say Jenna is able to participate But because of her schedule, she can't commit to what was originally intended use her as the opening use her as the opening She's still in the movie. She's the opening kill Sure, people will catch on to the fact that maybe she's the opening kill due to how the marketing is handling what you may show In these TV spots and in these trailers, you know how people like to overanalyze everything and of course I'll be a part of that myself But at the end of the day Jenna's participation and having her as the opening kill I would say would be the biggest thing that even compares to what we got from Drew Barrymore in the 96 original movie Considering how big Jenna has grown since screen 5 thanks to Wednesday and her Undeniable talent the lady is talented. She more than likely Doesn't see scream 7 as a priority and if she does that's okay. She's very booked. She's very busy She is not obligated to do this film I could say though if her schedule doesn't allow her to commit to the original design I would use her as the opening if she is available to do something use Tara Carpenter's death to Propel Sam's arc in scream 7 even further Give her an emotional edge already from the jump Shattered the hearts of millions of fans who probably will not be seen it coming other than the people again like myself Who were over analyzing and playing detective before the movie even drops Shatter shatter hearts surprise everybody surprise all the casual Jenna or take of fans Because at least her participation in that regard can still lead to perhaps one of the most shocking heartbreaking opening sequences of the franchise Since Drew Barrymore in the original if executed well you guys let me know she think about this down in the comments section below If you haven't already course make sure you subscribe turn on post notification in the video in the description I'll have links to my social media accounts.
