 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here. We're gonna talk about scream 7 in this video here today, so We're gonna go over Kevin Williamson's thoughts on this post Neff Campbell made which gave us the bombshell news that she would be returning as Neff Campbell Kevin Williamson who created this iconic franchise With kept with West Craven at the helm. He's gonna be taking the helm for scream 7 So he's gonna get to play with his baby in the most amazing way possible. Hopefully I do hope that everything goes Well for him because I don't think he's directed a lot But I don't really doubt that he's gonna give us I don't think he's gonna give us a bad screen movie I am still just on the fence about the project until proven otherwise because I do have my reservations if it's gonna be a Sydney-centric movie and Yeah, I just want the best for her But Kevin Williamson is directing scream 7 he posted this on Instagram to go over the announcement from Neff Campbell He said It's been nearly 30 years since my very first script screen was directed by the legendary was Craven I never would have predicted what it would become or that I will be directing the seventh installment of the franchise I am overcome with gratitude and excitement and I can't wait to take this journey with Nevin the entire screen family as We bring back Sydney Prescott in the next chapter of the screen franchise. Thank you to all the screen fans You are the gift that keeps giving now While I'm excited for Nevin Kevin I'm going to remain on the fence until proven that we that what we have is a story that does right by Sydney Prescott I'll just have to trust Kevin and Neff's judgment until proven otherwise because this is oddly still a lot of Damage control on spy glasses in no doubt about it. Notice how they had Neff Campbell make the announcement Why do you think that is? Neff Campbell has a lot more love and appreciation than spyglass So her announcing this stuff softens the blow a little bit so to speak as if it as opposed to those Individuals or that name being attached to the announcement. We're bringing back Neff Campbell Kevin Williamson's directing our movie instead You have Neff Campbell herself who felt that she was done dirty with scream six announcing that she's gonna be done Right with scream seven and to them it just looks better for PR purposes. That's my theory Now I'm also gonna get into some rumors in a second But I want to draw attention to two things one I tweeted this out a couple days ago that Vanderbilt was gone in a few years like wait They never reported that Vanderbilt was gone Well, or that they were reporting that Vanderbilt was was back and that's true reputable outlets were doing that But in the midst of that and what was true at the time that changed That's why I put it out Weeks ago for a while that someone had dropped out of the project despite being reported back I was always talking about Vanderbilt And Neff herself and reputable outlets have confirmed that bit of information that I put out So I'm gonna just say scoop confirmed and I have been stating that again for a while actually I even brought it up in my last Melissa video where I stated that I heard Vanderbilt is out and that guy is doing it without him The next thing I want to draw attention to is Neff's post really quick one more time As I mentioned allegedly she was trying to leverage her return to open the door for Melissa Barrera I'm going to highlight a couple words in this IG post She says I couldn't be more thrilled. Well, I actually could now see it's those last few words there Well, I actually could I think those words are in reference to Melissa and that's all I'm gonna say there You can think what you want think I'm crazy a lot of you reading between the lines what words to I think in that instance She's referring to her efforts to try to help out Melissa Barrera So here are the rumors I've heard about scream 7 they are not confirmed and so proven otherwise I don't I'm not saying they're confirmed I just don't mind talking about these things because if they're wrong they're wrong if they're right they're right I don't really think these things are that series Courtney Cox apparently is a hundred percent down to return not that it's new But this is from a more recent encounter that Cox had with someone apparently Now filming should start this summer The story is still split into which makes sense when you think about it because it would explain why James Vanderbilt is Still credited for the story if it's pulling aspects of the og draft One half will obviously be for Sydney and the other half for the newbies that are gonna clash at some point with Sydney story Now this Courtney person has also told me that if seven is successful This is the part that has me very concerned if seven is successful Successful now will be the focus for more going forward That's the part that will undoubtedly keep me on the fence it's time for city to just get her peace and Constantly interrupting it will lead to movies that lack suspense lack stakes And if you grew up watching wrestling during the super scene of era, you know what that's like and it ain't fun Scream needs to grow beyond Sydney grow beyond the characters We know and love like Kevin was trying to do with screen four and six prove that it can but whatever I guess they they seem to know best and Ultimately if the movie is profitable each time that Sydney comes back They're probably just gonna keep her around and from a business perspective. I don't really blame you But creatively narratively, it's gonna get dull. It's gonna get tired Will I watch them sure but it's gonna be retread after retread after retread with movies lacking suspense and stakes if the same Outcome happens, which is Sydney beating Ghostface, which is why I've always stated. She's not written She was not created to be a punching bag or to at least go through this over and over and over again She has Something she was trying to chase or attain and that was peace let her have the peace and then shift over into some other group Of characters so that way Ghostface doesn't look like a joke and at the same time as a viewer How can you take Ghostface? Seriously if he's always just going after or it is always going after Sydney Prescott the person with endless plot armor Who is always guaranteed to get the upper hand and when in the end it makes Ghostface as a threat less credible But of course people with binoculars aren't gonna think about that is just Sydney Sydney Sydney Sydney. I love Sydney But you have to be fair and realistic about it The other aspect of this franchise that is important is Ghostface itself that character should be threatening should be menacing It's not gonna be very menacing if your antagonist is always going up against the same person who kicks their ass each time And they never make it out or never they never make it out with anything but another L to their resume. So As for the killers, this is just speculation. I still think that it's gonna be Christina But this part is a rumor. I'm not gonna get too specific because I don't want to risk them changing anything I've heard they are implementing something fans have been clamoring for and I do know specifically what it is I'm just not specifically sharing it in this video just so they don't change it Not every fan is wanting this. It is not related to stew marker. I want to make that very clear It's not related to stew But a lot of fans have wanted them to do this with Ghostface And it seems like they're doing it in scream 7 depending on how it's executed I think it could go over very well and it seems it would make a lot of sense giving you have Split stories allegedly so it would explain why the stories are gonna mesh at some point You guys can let me know what you think about this down in the comment section below Are you excited for scream 7? Are you not excited for scream 7? Obviously the hope in my mind Still is that something can be done? To get us back on track for the original movie, but that again is just me being delusional I know that I know that's not going to happen and I'm fine that it's not going to happen Let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below if you haven't already of course Make sure you go ahead and subscribe turn on post notifications that you never miss a video in the description I'll have links all in social media accounts I'm on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there to let me know if there's any movies News or reviews you let me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video
