— on both the subway scene and in the frat party sequence — the below interview leaves most of that out. Instead, the directors and writers, along with producers Chad Villella, William Sherak and Paul Neinstein, break down the biggest moments of the movie, how they moved forward without series starDirectors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett on the set of “Scream VI.”The fifth “Scream” paid tribute to original director Wes Craven in so many ways.
Yes, but there’s always a debate. Sometimes that’s because there could be two options. Then we basically choose one just so we’re on the same page about it.Who attacks Quinn in the apartment? That’s the one that the big debate is around because we love the idea that it’s Ethan. Fun fact, Jack Champion is actually in the costume for some of that. But we also love the idea of Bailey, as Quinn’s father, killing her boyfriend. There’s something really, really satisfying about that idea.
I’ve unfortunately had to at different parts of my career. I don’t have the luxury of not doing it. But there was a whole conversation about what the right thing was and she felt comfortable with coming back 10, 11 years later. I think we settled on something that she looks great in, was comfortable with and it was the right thing for Kirby today. 90% of it is she has to be comfortable in her skin on set with what character she’s playing.
Let’s talk about the TV and Stu. There was a line about the conspiracy that Stu is still alive. Was Kirby pushing the TV onto Ethan and killing him to prove to fans that that killed Stu?That is scripted, specifically, as a brutal and definitive kill. Guy and Jamie wrote the TV falling on Ethan’s head as a brutal and definitive kill.I just loved that moment. Once we got the idea of her saying, “I saw that in a scary movie once,” we had to do it.
That’s great if that happens but don’t bloody tell us
That literally happens in every scream tho?
Isn’t that about as long as the opening for the first movie though?
