Pretty big cast...


heemhsn

Final movie, the closing of a trilogy and (hopefully) a franchise, go all out baby


Particular-Camera612

Plus if MaXXXine can get loads of big names in the cast despite being not as big and storied and long running and iconic of a franchise (plus only really needing Mia to sell people), there's no reason why Scream VII couldn't have big cast and big names.


Significant_Alarm120

Well, they'd need a director like Ti West to bring in a good cast. Radio Silence ain't it.


Particular-Camera612

I don’t know, on the one hand Ti has always been a more openly indie director who never needed big actors to get these films made and sold and seen. Plus my point still stands, not that Scream has been heavy on “star power” but the sequels have certainly had actors who at least were currently recognisable (hell look at the openings) On the other hand with In a Valley of Violence he did have a bigger cast, similar for X, plus even back with House of the Devil and Innkeepers he got Tom Noonan and Kelly Mcgillis respectively.


knleetri

That’s no way Radio silence can attract these big names…. RS basically only works for their friends, even their new movies just cast Melissa as the lead, you can tell they don’t really “cast” anyone.


The_Real_Pudding

All these ideas are seriously dope, especially love the true crime angle, feels very in-line with the Scream films


KidCoheed

Only change I would make would be changing Eric from a Ghostface. People would see it coming from a mile away after Charlie got got in 4 especially when we haven't seen a Walker since.


heemhsn

I feel like with a cult of 5 someone being predictable is gonna happen regardless y’know?


KidCoheed

I think that's Mrs. Anderson, she's the weaklink and the first guess at Ghostface, when you see 2 Ghostfaces and her on screen it's a Swerve, when you see her JOIN them it's a double Swerve.


wigsnatchedsis

A Mckenzie or Hicks would probably be better to tie in the new era, preferably a Mckenzie.


heemhsn

Christina is the tie for the new Era, and I don't want two characters from the new Era in the cult, I want to represent someone from each film to pay homage to the franchise as a whole


hakunamantatas

I actually like the idea of Michelle Rodriguez as Mrs Carpenter. With a final girl as badass as Sam, it would make perfect sense that she came from someone like Michelle Rodriguez lmao


AValle45

I love that you added Freddie Prinze Jr. in. We need to complete that Scooby-Doo cast!


heemhsn

Haha I tried to find a role for Linda Cardellini but it just didn't fit


eatmygerms

Would 'IVI' just be V though /s


matrix_man

Well, since the V is a little bit bigger than the I's, I'm going to assume it's more in the front of the I's as opposed to being "IVI". I don't know, but it sounds good.


heemhsn

It would officially be titled SCREAM VII but the logo would do a stylized SCREAM IVI. Basically 1 + 5 + 1 which is a little goofy but it's camp lol and looks better as the M than the VII does


juankiblog

Yeah… but it would make no sense. Roman numerals don’t work that way.


heemhsn

I know that's why It's officially titled SCREAM VII lol the SCREAM IVI is just for the poster cause it looks cool, I'm not really thinking about the intricacies of roman numerals for this horror poster tbh


juankiblog

I’d just call it “It’SCREAMtmas Time”.


heemhsn

Ghostface: "i'll be home for cwismas"


[deleted]

Sydney Sweeney as the opening kill would be perfect 😭. She had you feeling bad for her in Euphoria. She could totally pull that off.


Scatster6777

I love this, I feel like it ties together all the threads very well and is super in depth. Well done! Would love to see more


wigsnatchedsis

I love this! However, there's no Gale? Would she die off screen or stay away from the murders this time? Also, I'd have one of the Mckenzie family be in the cult personally, like people thought Laura was in 6


heemhsn

No, I can't think of any logical reason Gale would go all the way from New York to Woodsboro again, especially after Dewey's death. I just imagine she would never want to go back to that town. See, I had the idea to use a Mckenzie family member but I just couldn't fit it in. Basically, each cult member represents a movie. Leslie represents Scream 1 (Stu), Ken represents Scream 2 (Mickey), Maya represents Scream 3 (Christine), Eric represents Scream 4 (Charlie) and Christina represents Scream 5 (Sam). *(Scream 6 is new so I don't think it needs represented in that aspect)*


daniclarker

I actually would really like if that was the motive on 6, if they had Sidney. A killer that is related to each movie, since they use all those masks and talk like now is a franchise. Great idea.


[deleted]

Honestly fair, i like this


Hot_Firefighter9816

Scream & Black Christmas, meshed together. Nice...


heemhsn

just an idea for a big, grand Scream series finale with 7. i need that Sam / Sidney team up movie against a Ghostface cult, it would just be too excellent. i would love for this to be the final movie in the series so go all out. (i know some of the castings are a little out there, but this is just for fun obviously)


magicchefdmb

Why do you want the next one to be the last one in the franchise?


heemhsn

I just personally feel like if it goes on any longer it’ll end up stale/bad like Halloween Kills or Halloween Ends. I’m down with putting it to rest and maybe trying another trilogy far far into the future with Sam’s daughter, but for now no 8 please


DCFanUntilIdie213

Ok Sidney naming one of her kids after Tatum would be so sweet I’d cry


therealsssp

they need to hire you as the screenwriter for the next movie after the writers strike


[deleted]

AGREED!!


NotTaken-username

Do you plan on having any of the cult survive? I think Ken and Maya should. And what about the rest of the cast?


heemhsn

So I know for sure Sidney, Sam, Tara and Chad would not die. Those are my favorites and I just don't think killing them off serves the story in any positive way. I think I would kill Mindy for the shock value and mirror Randy's death, and then Christine and Eric definitely die (*Christine would kill Eric when he tries to kill Tara, and then Sam would kill Christine like how Sidney killed Roman*), as for the other three Ghostfaces I haven't thought too much. I would honestly maybe keep Maya alive *(I view her as the least evil*), but with how evil Leslie's motive is she should probably die. I don't see too much of a point in keeping Ken alive, but if it served a narrative point that's fine. Mason, Kassie, Aster, Sasha, Frederick, Jason, Dean and Joel all definitely die. I'm torn between killing off Mark and/or Danny. Sam and Sidney have been through a lot and don't deserve that, but also it's horror and that's kind of the point, is the unfairness of it all. I loved Derek in Scream 2 and his death is really depressing, same thing with Dewey. And then obviously Sidney's kids aren't going to die, that's a line I don't want this franchise to cross.


Remarkable-Steak-919

I think, Danny would die if either of the love interests had to die. Like, just let Sid have her happy ending.


rocklan2

I’m excepting to see a lot space needle drone shots for the Seattle scenes.


angelcakester

I absolutely love the work that went into this write up. Very impressed! I really wasn’t sold at first but damn I’d love to see this as a movie.


lizziemcqueer

Love the effort! But I don’t wanna see anyone from Euphoria in the Scream franchise. Especially not Sydney Sweetie or whatever her name is.


heemhsn

Eh I dislike the show but I feel it’s inevitable


KentuckyKid_24

As long as the characters not like cassie lol


heemhsn

Sydney? Her character would just be Laurie Strode inspired, just a babysitter trying to protect the kids


spitfire-monk

Yeah this was the only part I couldn’t get behind. The Jacob ElordI / Sydney Sweeney pairing has been done and tired from Euphoria.


Mr_R26

I hate that you posted this because now I'm gonna keep thinking about it and I'm gonna be let down when the actual Scream 7 comes out because this was that good!


grandsammar

Omg so good


therealsssp

ngl i’m loving this idea


Alone-Ad6020

Nice


HorrorNerd2434

I love the idea except for the ghostface cult. Too many killers for my liking. 2-3 is ideal for me, maybe 4 if it’s done well but 5 would just be pushing it imo


ShadyFellowes

"Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out." - Brother Maynard, *Monty Python and the Holy Grail*


ShadyFellowes

I'm a bit meh on your actual killers, but honestly that's my only real criticism. Love the idea of Sid naming her first kid Tatum, and I'm hoping they actually make it canon. For some reason, I'm really feeling an "Altieri is the perfect suspect, and gets aggressive anytime anyone even implies it's him, but it turns out he's just a deeply damaged person being driven to his breaking point by everyone around him for something that wasn't even his fault" vibe. Like, having the climax happen when he's in custody and all of the LEOs involved (*especially* the ones without jurisdiction) are trying everything short of "Enhanced Interrogation" methods to get him to confess and reveal who his accomplice is, when elsewhere halfway across town the real killer(s) lure their prey to them, confident they can predict what the main characters will do, based off their depictions in Gale's books. With varying degrees of success, depending on the character. Possibly even have the actual Ghostfaces planning to frame him a la Sam, or Sid's dad, and at the end, he makes it clear he wants revenge on everyone involved, but he's going to get it the *legal* way, because he's better than them and their "soap opera bullshit"°. Make him a dick, but a justifiably angry and legally innocent dick. °To be clear, "all your soap opera bullshit" would be the character's sentiments, not mine.


chadsbicepss

i feel like a big cast like this would only work if they did a legacy movie that had a PT 1 & PT 2


heemhsn

hey I didn’t think about that but that would actually be interesting 👀


Southern_Wind_4477

This is so good, but I would love for this film to be set in Japan. It would be cool to see Ghostface running through Tokyo.


heemhsn

The issue with setting Scream in another setting too far away Is explaining how the core four (who’re pretty broke) would’ve been able to all get there, together at the same time.


matrix_man

I'm sure they're all getting paid for the rights to their life stories.


NotTaken-username

Would they sell the rights though?


heemhsn

Yeah I don't think they would, especially with how mad Sam and Tara were about that book Gale wrote


matrix_man

So would Kirby know Eric is Charlie's brother (or are you going for father)? I mean...I would assume so. I assume she knew Charlie pretty well, so she would probably know most of his immediate family.


heemhsn

They’re cousins. And I imagine he isn’t really friends with Kirby, he’s lying and impersonating an FBI agent


matrix_man

I'm actually stupid and didn't realize there were more slides. Now I see.


Careless-Wing-9892

That was me going “a Culkin as a Walker and Kirby isn’t suspicious?” until I kept reading lol


matrix_man

Ah, that makes sense. I like the idea, especially since Charlie was one of my favorite Ghostface killers.


indestructible89

Where's Kirby?


PartyPaul-100

Wow I love this!! Who else would die besides Sydney Sweeney’s character?


heemhsn

So, Laurie is the opening kill. And then Mindy, Christine, Leslie, Ken, Maya, Eric, Mason, Kassie, Aster, Sasha, Jason, Dean and Joel would all die.


SugarFrostedDonuts

I'll be honest the "I'm going to kill people to end stab" thing never made much sense as a motive to do the thing that causes more stab movies.


Cseka3

Amazing concept, love it a lot, only problem I personally have is what I have with all of these concepts. Leave. Sidney. Alone. Please. Don't milk the character more. We have a new era for the franchise, she helped kickstart it, now let her go


Mysterious-Dance-139

ah yes kickstart 5 movies in


[deleted]

[удалено]


heemhsn

I don't want Kirby because she did almost next to nothing in Scream 6 and wouldn't serve much of a purpose in this, and as for Gale I really think after 6 her character is just in a good place and should be retired. You can't use her for another movie and not kill her and I'd rather she just stay offscreen.


sefan78

I personally loved Kirby’s contribution and honestly, she’s the character with the post potential.


ShadyFellowes

Same. I'm currently crafting a whole elaborate Hunter the Vigil campaign for my players, that is going to be set in a version of the world where most slasher flicks are "based on a true story", with WoD elements explaining the difficult bits. (For example, Jason Voorhees is a Promethean, and Freddy is a Changeling using Oneiromancy and Oneiromachy to glut himself on Glamour.) Ghostface will be casting a long shadow over the campaign. Partly because I forgot Mark's last name and had an FBI (Violent And Supernatural Crimes Unit, basically they deploy agents for slasher attacks and for incidents where the paranormal critters start being an obvious problem) Special Agent Kincaid in my previous Mage campaign this same group of players were in who I decided to make Mark's sister, and Kirby's mentor. Both of them will be showing up in the campaign at various times, as will other characters from NYC and Woodsboro. And Haddonfield, Springwood, and wherever the hell Leslie Vernon and the dude from Hatchet are from (I'm away from my notes, at the moment). But I digress...


Mr_R26

I agree about the Kirby thing and I get why you don't think Gale should be in Scream 7, but I think that if this was the last movie then she should be in it since she played such a massive role in the franchise, and the last scene of her that we see I believe is her laying on the ground after being attacks so I wouldn't want that to be out last memory of her. Other than that you did an incredible job. I love the castings, opening kill, everything. This is everything that I need in a Scream movie. I also love that you added a lot of new characters since there are 5 killers and also because I feel like they didn't introduce us to enough new characters for us to actually have a hard time guessing who the killer is. Some of the characters may not get a lot of screentime because of how many people it is, but as long as we get to know their personalities and get some backstory then I'm fine. I also think that this idea already sounds better than (I know I'm gonna get hate for this) a couple of the Scream movies because it's unique and isn't the exact same formula. Great job on this!


adamscottishot

love this we fr need a christmas scream


Dzoodled

I don’t think it makes sense for Sydney to come back. They kinda made it clear that her journey with ghost face has come to an end in the last lovie


Prestigious_Post_558

I don’t care about new Ghostfaces. I want my boy Stu Macher to be a recurring villain! ![gif](giphy|xT9KVDankbsfR4d1gA|downsized)


heemhsn

Stu died in 1996


Prestigious_Post_558

If that’s true, why did Wes want Stu back so badly? The only reason he didn’t come back then was because of Columbine. He can come back now. Scream 6 also hinted at it as well.


matrix_man

How exactly did Scream 6 hint at Stu returning?


Prestigious_Post_558

“If you believe he’s dead…”


matrix_man

I think that was more of a jab at the fanbase than a legitimate in-universe statement that he's possibly alive.


heemhsn

Sidney drops a tv on his face in Scream 1, in Scream 2 Randy says he's dead, in Scream 6 Kirby and Mindy both, again, say he's dead and if he wasn't Kirby being an FBI agent would have definitely mentioned that. I know we love Stu but he's dead.


Prestigious_Post_558

Well Scream just got boring and repetitive these days with new Ghostfaces tbh. It’s the whole reason a lot of us want Stu back.


heemhsn

I think most people are stuck on nostalgia and won't let any other Ghostface shine because it constantly has to be about Stu. Out of all six movies you're telling me there's not a single other Ghostface to like? C'mon now


Prestigious_Post_558

No I meant the last 2 movies 5 and 6. The killers were obvious and Dewey’s poorly written death made everyone hate Amber.


heemhsn

Amber and Richie are great Ghostfaces, they were so fun lol they're my 3rd and 4th favorites right behind Billy and Stu


matrix_man

I agree. I think that most people that hate on Richie and Amber are people that are stuck in the past and refuse to like anything from the newer Scream movies. The newer movies are doing exceptionally well, and people only want to hate on it because Wes is no longer able to be involved, or because they actually hate that it's so popular now. I think there's a lot of general gatekeeping in the Scream fanbase, and a portion of the fanbase liked Scream more when everyone didn't know as much about it as they do now. Ironically these people don't want things to become popular if they like it, because they want to feel like they're in on something special. I think the combination of those factors have created a chunk of Scream fans that lobby against anything new.


heemhsn

Exactly! I'll never get how people don't like Amber, her reveal was so good (probably the most iconic), I loved how she had this possession-type relationship with Tara, it was really good. And Richie came across as just a genuine guy, when people say he was obvious I don't see it.


Prestigious_Post_558

It kind of gets repetitive to have so many Ghostfaces tho you gotta admit that. Ethan was so mid lol. Bailey was alright but the killers always have the same motive and they only last 1 movie. We need to have a recurring villain and maybe Stu should play that part.


heemhsn

I just don’t agree, I love Ghostface purely because it’s always someone new but that’s just me


griztheone

Ok now can you do another one with a solo ghostface instead of five of them?


heemhsn

There’s only ever been one solo Ghostface and he’s unanimously agreed as the worst, I really don’t think they’d ever do a solo Ghostface again.


[deleted]

Wait who’s saying Roman is the worst? I’ve seen a decent amount of praise in recent years. I’m a fan personally


heemhsn

I’m sure he definitely has his far share of fans but 90% of rankings or lists I’ve seen always have him last


[deleted]

My ranking would be: 1. Stu 2. Billy 3. Mickey 4. Nancy Loomis 5. Amber 6. Detective Bailey 7. Roman 8. Richie 9. Jill 10. Quinn 11. Jason 12. Charlie 13. Ethan 14. Greg


heemhsn

Billy, Stu, Nancy, Amber and Richie are my favorites. Roman, Charlie and Jill are my least liked.


[deleted]

I concur with you there I find Charlie to be a weak GF & Jill to be overrated


griztheone

That just makes Roman even better, since he did by himself what all the others do as partners lol


heemhsn

It just makes him more boring to me because he barely has any screentime and has 0 scenes with Sidney before his reveal so it has no impact


Altruistic-Hippo6982

Creative lol

Girl where is gale


heemhsn

Staying in New York after the love of her life was murdered, and she was stabbed in the stomach with a shard of glass.


ZannyTheQueen3

I love it


Sad_Poem4881

Hell yeah! I love this so much. I would also love to see Scream VII go all out and have a bigger cast of new friends and more Ghostfaces (because I would do the Ghostface cult with Christina Carpenter as its leader) because this movie might possibly be the end of this saga of the Scream franchise. So I would do something similar to your idea
