Scream 7 doesn’t need a high body count to be successful
The Scream franchise has never had a high body count, and Scream 7 doesn’t need to change this to succeed.
The original plan for Scream 7 would have been a great conclusion to Sam and Tara’s story
The screenwriter’s strike had caused a small delay in the production of the Shout 7, but a lot of preparations were still going on behind the scenes for the sixth sequel. However, after the dismissal of Melissa Barrera and the departure of Jenna Ortega due to scheduling issues, the plans for Shout 7 They were discarded. YouTuber behind the mask it has now revealed what the plans were Shout 7and from the looks of it, it would have been great.
Scream 7 was going to see the franchise conclude Sam and Tara’s story in what was billed as the climax of the Carpenter sisters’ story.
The plan was always for Sam’s story to be a three-movie arc, so it makes a lot of sense that Shout 7 it was meant to be the conclusion to the franchise. Beyond The Mask explained the initial plans in their ‘The Original Scream 7 Plans (before Melissa Barrera was fired)’ video:
The entire movie would focus on Sam. She was the main player and the main four as a group took a backseat. She and Tara weren’t that close on the initial release of 7.
Many fans will probably be disappointed to learn that The Core Four was not going to be the main focus in Shout 7. However, Shout 6 I already told that story and it was probably time to move in a different direction. Furthermore, he insinuated himself into Shout 6 that Shout 7Sam and Tara’s plans could see them go their separate ways, and the older sister would need to let her younger sister go so she could prosper on her own. However, tThe following revelation about the initial plans for Shout 7 would have taken a very dark but necessary turn:
Tara was going to be killed and a pattern of events that followed would cause Sam to go completely insane and that was the main plot for 7.
Part of the reason Tara was killed off was because of Jenna Ortega’s scheduling conflicts. Apparently the plan was always for Ortega to take on a less central role because of this, but it made it easier to update Sam’s darkness, which was teased in Shout 6.
The Assassins’ main motive was to outwardly expose Sam’s inner darkness, but more so, to awaken it within her.
The Ghostface Killer in Shout 7 was meant to try to irritate Sam, so his psychopathic tendencies came to the surface, and Tara’s death was meant to ignite that. Sam and Tara’s mother, Christina Carpenter, would also eventually appear in the franchise. after she was mentioned in Scream (2022) and Shout 6but it was unclear what his character would be doing in Shout 7but reading between the lines, it may have been Ghostface. There are also hints that Sam could have ended up being one of the killers, and that would have been an interesting way to do it.
There were also plans to try to convince Neve Campbell to return to play Sidney Prescott, but this was not considered a priority. with Sister Carpenter’s story being the main focus. This aspect of the plan Shout 7 It’s probably the weakest idea, as it’s hard to see where the iconic final girl would have fit into this story. The original plan for Sydney in Shout 6 was very poor and Shout 7Current plans to focus on her are much better than a possible supporting role in Sam and Tara’s final story. Beyond the Mask also revealed plans for other returning characters:
They wanted Gale to be involved and also proposed a role for Kirby. The Meeks-Martin twins were included and Danny became an honorary member of the main four.
Shout 7 was going to be a fitting conclusion to the story set in Scream (2022) and Shout 6but no one really knows if the final film would have lived up to its potential.
Christopher Landon has revealed more information about how far along production was on Scream 7
Finally, Beyond The Mask revealed in its video that it had reached out to Christopher Landon to find out exactly how far along the plans were. Shout 7and gave more details about the response he received from the horror director:
Your version of Shout 7 It was so far along in production that the draft of the film exists. He was very involved in the plan for 7. Casting had begun and they had also started scouting locations when Melissa was fired.
Christopher Landon is a great director and it is very likely Shout 7 It would have been great under his leadership. But sadly, fans will likely never see this particular Scream movie that he had started working on. Having said this, Shout 7 has moved in a different direction and appears to be in good hands with original creator Kevin Williamson and ultimate Scream queen Neve Campbell.
