Scream 7

This. Also I feel like we got a hint of that type with Scream 3 via the "Stab" set.


Oh god... don't let this be HHN's IP future

I mean......the Fallon house is almost there lol. we are basically almost there ( even if the Fallon house is awesome).

Chiming in--I think the problem with a definitive reboot is not that there isn't an avenue that you could go with it.

The problem is that there has *already* been a major and definitive reboot that was attempted in the 2010's. One that was negatively recieved and seen by that of fans and those familar with the franchise intently. It's much more limited due to the MTV series that I think you can't justify the potential of doing it again.

Which unfortunately makes the road to Scream's future broken due to the uncalled for firing of Melissa. An actress that is thankfully now starting to get work again and work with promiment talent.

My thoughts is that they should've let the franchise sit for a few years. Like how Scream 3-4 had the buffer gap (though more small of a gap). Then, you bring back Melissa, Jenna, Courtney and Neve for another duology film. The story of Sam and Tara ended at a good bit where you can let those three have time to breathe.

Scream is really a franchise that you can argue gets a reboot with each film. It’s a different killer in every movie, so I’m hesitant to call any one of the films in the franchise a reboot (like 2009/2010 Nightmare and Friday, or the new Child’s Play). No matter what direction it goes in, it always holds true to being a continuation of the story, sans the MTV series’ first two seasons.

Unpopular opinion, but I will forever say that Scream 4 is my favorite sequel.

scream 4 IS truly the best one. best cast. best plot. best structure. it really was the best of everything.
I really hated part 3 and some parts of 5.

Honestly, this franchise needs (and has needed) a total reboot. Set the story a couple decades after the original SCREAM (i.e. those events are known and happened), but move forward with entirely new characters... and probably an entirely new look for the killer. We have got to move beyond the Sidney Prescott mythos and all the characters connected to it.

This times 100% (but minus the new look for the killer, it's already perfect, it doesn't need to change outside of maybe some quirks).

How they've never been tempted to just use the Ghostface mask and set it worlds apart from Sidney is kinda baffling. Everyone loves Sidney but I feel like the franchise HAS enough juice that simply the name and Ghostface are enough of an IP magnet that you don't need actual legacy characters. Make the new characters good (the 'Core 4' is fine but could be so much better), the motivation interesting and you could get so wild with it because it's not connected to that Sidney world anymore.

there are so many copy cats and so many possibilities to put this franchise anywhere

put it in Europe, put it anywhere.

The last one to be done by the amazing director Wes Craven.
