 What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here We're gonna be talking about scream 7 here in this video here today And this is something I didn't really think I'd get a chance to talk about This soon although it was something that I know I initially put out a tweet about Shortly after the news came out about Melissa Barrera I just had the conversation with a landing source who also again has been helping me get information on Maxine and What has happened is that Christopher Landon has formally announced that he is no longer attached to direct screen 7 at the time for those of you Who follow me on Twitter, you know that I put out that he indeed Wanted out of the project and it looks like he ultimately got what he wanted. I didn't know that he actually made it out I just know that he wanted out so he put out this tweet today Say I guess now is as good as time as any to announce I formally exited scream 7 weeks ago this would disappoint some and delight others It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare and my heart did break for everyone involved everyone, but it's time to move on I have nothing Nothing more to add to the conversation other than I hope West's legacy thrives and lifts above the den of a divided world What he and Kevin created is something amazing and I was honored to have even the briefest moment basking in their glow Now obviously this has triggered a lot of reactions. Some people celebrating some people are upset. I Will tell you just as I've been saying with a lot of the other stuff that's come out I'm gonna try to remain as indifferent to this as I can because of the fact that it all comes back to who spy glass Spy glass needs to sell the rights. That is what I think needs to happen That's what many people think needs to happen and ultimately had spy glass not have fired Melissa Barrera and Done what they had done in regards to basically not allowing her to just freely express what she wanted to express and Just going about their day Put all that aside come together do business make a movie Get it out had they had just done that we wouldn't be at this point right now I do recall after Melissa Barrera was fired though I saw a lot of nasty comments under Chris's Images of his children on Instagram. I saw a lot of nasty tweets at him on Twitter You know all this stuff that comes with toxic fandom not everybody in every fandom is toxic But we definitely know that there are toxic people who go out of their way to make someone's life a living hell as much as they Can online because that's all that they are good for so they live up to their potential in that capacity by trying to Go after someone like the way I saw Chris Landon taking a lot of the backlash for this Oh, he's not standing in solidarity with Melissa. He's standing in solidarity with spy glass You know, it's just it's one thing to have your frustrations at the Melissa situation But it's another thing and start attacking others who have nothing to do with the decision of her being employed or not Christopher Landon wasn't the person to go after but you know, there's a lot of ignorance out there when it comes to how Hollywood works I'm ignorant on a lot of stuff still when it comes to Hollywood, but a lot of people they don't even try to inform themselves They just literally take anger and frustration bottle it up and then throw it at the nearest thing And in this case it was oh, let's go after the director get our pitchforks and go right after the director bunch of fucking idiots Anyway, I think the general consistency again is still spy glass You guys have struck out three times here Not that Jen or Tega was the worst out of the bunch Obviously the worst out of these three is still Melissa Barrera and the handling of that but then Jenna herself was Reportedly not going to come back due to a scheduling conflict, but I still would argue I think that ultimately what made it easier for her to say hey I don't even want to do your little cameo is what happened with Melissa Barrera. That's just me and Then now we have lost Landon someone who again, I told you he didn't want to be involved in it anymore I didn't realize he was actually actively trying to get out of it the way he did and I didn't realize that he had gotten out Of it weeks ago, but it doesn't line up with some of the stuff you see on his Twitter He's been engaging with people who have been antagonizing him He's been engaging with them not a not overly aggressively or anything like that and not consistently But there is one instance where someone did tag him in a post and he combated them So that was like a first flag to me that this dude probably isn't even attached anymore Because why is he coming at them like that now it makes sense. He's not attached to scream seven So you better be careful how you approach him or he might get a little he might he might check you That's all I'm saying as he should if you're coming at him sideways But what do you guys think about this revelation this bombshell that he announced on his Twitter today? He is no longer going to be directing scream seven. I don't know where we go from here other than spyglass What are you gonna do? Are you going to cancel the project and accept defeat? Are you going to sell the rights? Are you going to just wallow in? All of your unfortunate decision-making Gather up whoever you can put the movie out and if it ends up being trash I mean, I just don't know where we go from here. This this company They they are at strike three. You're at strike three Everything involving what has transpired recently with scream seven over the past month since Thanksgiving time This has just been a train wreck and I can only point the finger at you guys You guys have to go Gary Barber and all the other alleged band of idiots. You got to go It's time to go and I here's the thing in reality also still tells me they aren't gonna sell the rights in reality I don't see them selling the rights. What else the spyglass cooking up Thanksgiving isn't as profitable as the scream IP people would definitely turn out more for your next screen film than your next Thanksgiving movie So that's why I see I don't see them selling these rights We'll just have to be patient about this because now you're out two actors. You're out of director for all I know James Vanderbilt was the only person attached you might be out guy Busek in that Hollywood reporter report that came out It only mentioned James Vanderbilt. It didn't mention guy Busek. So maybe they're down a ride or two We'll just have to wait and see but this is all just becoming a very Convoluted mess that stems from the reaction to what you decided to do in response to Melissa Barrera Who was just expressing her freedom of speech which again? There is nothing wrong in the context of what she was talking about I can appreciate it Some people think that what she was talking about was wrong. You didn't agree with it. That's fine It shouldn't have escalated into what it escalated into now causing all this divide and riff surrounding screen seven It was unnecessary and it could have been avoided To be quite frank. Why did we need to even know about this? You could have just simply said she's exited the project You could have simply said that but no they Let's not even get into it. It's just a complete mess I hope that they sell the rights and that they get far away from this IP and that we can get a Competent production company involved who is passionate about the IP Passioned about cranking out a quality film that lives up to the legacy of West Craven Getting the appropriate talent attached appropriate creatives all of that good jazz and cook up something that is worthy of being the Seventh entry in the screen franchise now again the reality tells me they're gonna find somebody I don't see any director right now that I can think of that. I'd be excited about attached to this unless it's some bombshell Horror filmmaker that's been killing it lately that signs on but who are they even gonna get to sign on to this project? That's the other thing is anyone gonna want to do business with spyglass as a director whoever it is All the best of luck to you. I hope you are able to crank out a quality screen seven film Whoever that may be but time will tell let me know what you think about this down the comment section below if Havory of course makes you subscribe turn on post notification never miss video in the description I have links on my social media accounts.
