SnokesLegs Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Looks great! Shame about the lack of Neve, but it looks fun, and I suppose it doesn’t have to strain to give her another reason to be dragged into another Ghostface killer motive (got to admit, as much as I like Sidney, it’s getting a bit ridiculous just how many times she’s been targeted now).

SnokesLegs Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Terrible poster though, it looks like it’s straight out of the MCU’s random floating head/torso marketing department. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say the trailers for 4 and 5 gave more away in terms of potential deaths. Them using “I’m something different” and “you’ve never seen a ghostface like this” has me very very curious.

John Marston Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 damn Melissa Berrerra is awful. Should have focused on Ortega and Panetierre 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhasmid Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 What has this series become? I pine for the tongue in cheek satire. I don't know how I feel about the direction this series is going in. To be fair, I have had low expectations since 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to admit, while I liked the trailer from a slasher perspective, it does seem to be missing the satire that made the original stand out. I feel like that tone would be difficult to recreate without Wes Craven behind the camera or Kevin Williamson penning the script though.

DAJK Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 To be fair, I doubt the writers/directors knew that Ortega would blow up the way she did in the last few months. But in hindsight, they should have definitely focused on her character more in this movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely seems like she has more screen time in this one, and she was rising in popularity even before Wednesday (particularly in genre films like ‘X’), plus her opening scene from the last film was widely praised, so I’m sure the writers took all of that into consideration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanos13 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I want to watch the trailer so bad but damn it knowing horror trailers in general spoil so much of the movie, I prefer to patiently wait for the movie to come out to not get spoiled. 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 A change of tone will be good for this franchise tbh The satire aspect of it is an cliche itself at this point, the fifth movie for all it's clever ideas at first ended up turning the franchise exactly in what Wes criticized... it's a formulaic, stuck in a pattern, repetitive and unoriginal project. The meta aspect about elevated horror and the whole discussion about requels was fun, but that doesn't really matters that much for the structure of the movie, it's just a distraction for the fact that is basically a copy of the other movies tonally and narratively. Letting Neve Campbell go is a good direction, change the set to NY is a good direction, and change the tone of it is an amazing direction... this is what can make the franchise looks fresh again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you’re right, I enjoyed Scream ‘22 when it came out, by I don’t feel like it holds up to rewatches particularly well and I do now consider it the weakest, partly because of how much it was trying to emulate the first film, but not quite succeeding. If this ends up being the ‘Jason Takes Manhattan’ chaotic slasher that THAT film promised but never delivered on (due to Jason spending 80 minutes on a boat), it could be fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verrows Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I think this could really blow up. Like, $50M opening kind of blow up. I'm prepared for the egg in my face when it doesn't happen but I'm just going on record here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verrows Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 1 minute ago, Boxofficerules said: Why? Jenna Ortega's popularity rise, for one. With her it seems to go beyond the typical case of an actor breaking out in popularity. This has been a quick and intense burst on to the scene for her. I feel like there will be a lot of people there on opening weekend who maybe wouldn't have bothered before. Add in the unique concept (New York and more of a "public" setting in general) on top of the last one bringing the franchise back to the horror forefront and you have the potential recipe for a massive breakout. It's a wild prediction, I get that, but measured predictions are boring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 I know social media is a bubble but I've been seeing a lot of viral posts/memes on Twitter and TikTok. The franchise definitely seems to be revitalized, and Ortega's newfound starpower will only help. I could definitely see it doing better than S5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainbug Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Im all in the over 40M OW train. 50M i dont see quite yet, but it woudnt shock me. This has small breakout written over it imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
