Scream 7
Summary
WhileScream 7bringing back Neve Campbell ’s Sidney Prescott is salutary news , this will not be enough to save the troubled slasher subsequence for a variety of reasons . Not all of theScreammovies and telly showshave copy the magic of the original hitting , but 2022 ’s rebootScreamwas a decisive and commercial succeeder . disceptation run into the dealership when original star Neve Campbell’sScream VIsalary negotiations fell through . Campbell’sSidney did n’t appear inScream VI , which then break to repeat its predecessor ’s acclamation .
The controversy is only continue as yield forScream 7begins . In November 2023,Scream VI’supcoming sequelScream 7was play with trouble when Melissa Barrera was remove and Jenna Ortega exited production , leave the next installment of the enfranchisement without its two prominent star and without a clear direction . In an attempt to steady the ship , Scream 7has last succeeded in play back Neve Campbellto reprise her role as Sidney Prescott . While this is exciting from one perspective , Sidney ’s presence will not be enough to save the already - doomed sequel .
Scream 2022 bring a new generation of Woodsboro highschoolers , and with them two separate Ghostface Killers . Here are all the Scream 5 deaths .
10Scream 7 Needed To Continue Tara and Sam’s Story
The series centered on Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega
Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera ’s characters , Tara and Sam , were set up as the enfranchisement ’s new heroes inScream 2022andScream VI , and that move facilitate the continuation cutting Campbell ’s character . Scream VIlosing Sidney made the reboot trilogy wholly Sam and Tara ’s story , soScream 7cannot simply drop them now thatthe originalScreammovie ’s star has return . Tara and Sam have been built-in for the past two picture , and their story remains very much unfinished . Their absences are not a loose end that the regaining of any intimate face , not weigh how pop , can cover up , peculiarly given the controversial nature of Melissa Barrera ’s release .
9Scream 7 Can’t Replace Tara and Sam
A new Scream heroine won’t work
Scream 2022introduced Melissa Barrera ’s Sam as a replenishment for Sidney andScream VIcontinued this plot . As such , it would be pellucid and desperate ifScream 7introduced a new heroinefor Sidney to mentor instead . However , if the sequel assume the opposite approaching and pore on Sidney herself , thenScream 7will be abandon the entire premise ofScream 2022andScream VI . Either means , the overarching taradiddle of the unexampled trilogy is irretrievably ruined without Barrera ’s return key , and even more so without Jenna Ortega .
8Scream 7 Can’t Focus On Sidney Herself
Sidney being Scream 7’s main character makes no sense
IfScream 7does attempt to sharpen on Sidney , the movie will have a hard time convincing witness to gift in Campbell ’s character . Scream 2022revealed that Sidney head a glad , stable life with herScream 3love interest , Patrick Dempsey ’s Mark Kincaid , and the reboot even take care her take two nameless children for a walk in a stroller . Viewers have not seen any of these living exploitation materialise onscreen , however , soScream 7would involve to drop valuable meter set up Sidney ’s wholesome family life , only to then wreck it .
7The Scream Movies Already Gave Sidney 3 Perfect Endings
Sidney’s Scream franchise story has already ended (thrice)
Not only wouldScream 7bringing Sidney back undo her stable home plate liveliness , it would be the fourth time the serial has pulled this trick . thigh-slapper 3 ’s affirmative closing fit , Scream 4 ’s triumphant return , andScream 2022 ’s supporting role all confirmed that Sidney was finally content , dependable , and at peace . Any of these could have been perfect endings , so upend the heroine ’s life for a fourth time would just be needlessly tragical . finally , theScreamfranchise ’s chronologyhas to move away from Sidney ’s story - and resist the itch to come back to it .
6Scream 7’s Sidney Story Has Too Few Supporting Characters
Sidney has no one left to turn to from earlier Scream movies
Another major upshot thatScream 7 ’s Sidney replication face is the fact thatthe franchise no longer contains any supporting characters from Sidney ’s earned run average . Dewey is dead , which leave just Gale . Sidney did meetScream 4 ’s Kirby Reed , but they hardly have a go at it each other , so their reunion would not be particularly affecting or meaningful . Dempsey ’s Kincaid hardly even appeared inScream 3 , so even he is not much of a legacy part . what is more , Scream2022already reveal that Sidney was in a relationship with him , so his presence would not be a surprise . Scream 7with Sidney as the star sound like a lonely proposition .
5Scream 7’s Stu Macher Comeback Wouldn’t Work
Matthew Lillard’s recent horror success works against Scream 7
Like Kincaid ’s replication , Matthew Lillard ’s return asScream ’s Stu Macherwould no longer be a surpriseafterScream VIblatantly entail that Stu is still animated . Moreover , Lillard already plays the villain ofFive Nights at Freddy ’s , one of the biggest horror franchises in the existence as of 2024 . As such , it is no longer an exciting or novel jolt to see him repeat the role ofScream ’s villain , but rather a mere reference of his survive calling drift .
4Sam & Tara’s Exits Make Scream VI’s Supporting Stars Pointless
Scream VI’s supporting cast have no part to play in Scream 7
Scream 2022andScream VIgave Chad and Mindy solid function , but both of them relied on Sam and Tara ’s continued presence to remain relevant inScream 7.Chad and Mindy do n’t have tale arcs beyond their “ Core Four ” connections to Sam and Tara , mean theirScream 7returns would amount to very little on their own . In particular , Chad ’s blossoming romanticist human relationship with Tara inScream VIis secure to be a lingeringunresolved Sam and Tara storylineif he come back inScream 7 .
3Scream 7’s Kevin Williamson Return Isn’t That Exciting
The iconic screenwriter isn’t known for his directorial work
While someScreamfranchise devotee may be excited to see Kevin Williamson now demand inScream 7as the replacement director for Christopher Landon , witness should not pin their hopes on the franchise veteran . Williamson write the first twoScreammovies , but will be directingScream 7 . The only flick that he has guide before was the 1999 flopTeaching Mrs. Tingle , and there is small reason to think that the scribe ’s good writing will strain to masterly work behind the television camera .
2Sidney’s Scream 7 Return Means It Can’t Entirely Ignore Sam & Tara
Referencing Tara & Sam’s story is inevitable
Scream 7cannot plainly dismiss Sam and Tara after theirScream 2022andScream VIplot was so closely linked to Sidney . On the other hired man , mentioning their universe in any linguistic context is probable to generate choler over the consideration of Barrera ’s controversial fire . Ignoring the couple would also make viewers clearly wild , since they were the franchise ’s beloved heroines , meaningScream 7 ’s fib is now trapped in a mislay - lose position when it comes to Tara and Sam .
1Sidney Leading Scream 7 Doesn’t Bring Back The Reboot’s Generation Of Fans
Scream’s younger generation appeal was reliant on its reboot cast
Since theScreamseries has already been rebooted doubly , Scream 7cannot open to get going over again . While Sidney is still a dear quality by all generations , it ca n’t be push aside that the reboot movies ' success was drive by their appeal to a new coevals . Scream 2022andScream VIfeatured untested case who could link to younger consultation members , whereas Sidney ’s return will appeal more to original fans and those from theScream 4era . As such , Scream 7is still fate , despite Neve Campbell ’s comeback .
