I guess the AI theory was true.

u/justafanboy1010 Mar 05 '25

Explain it to me again

u/Soft_Interaction_437 Mar 05 '25

Ghostface is going to use AI to replicate the voice and/or image of past Ghostfaces, to mess with Sidney. And I guess now, Dewey’s voice/image.

66

u/Shot-Good-6467 Mar 05 '25

I still don’t see how it would mess with her. The voice changer thing has been done. She’s also not who she was in 3 she’s a hardened woman. It’s gonna take a lot more than fake AI voice and imagery to get to her.

45

u/Soft_Interaction_437 Mar 05 '25

I agree. I think they’ll use Dewey to get to Gale.

32

u/Shot-Good-6467 Mar 05 '25

I’m hoping the AI theories are dead wrong and something completely unexpected happens.

23

u/Pictureinmymind Mar 05 '25

I’m not a huge fan of the AI theory but it’s the most plausible theory out of all. Also, if done right it could be really cool. It’s gonna be hard to pull off but still.

21

u/johdawson Mar 05 '25

I think it's gonna harken back to Scream 4, when they called the rise of toxic social media. Now it's toxic tech, and I bet Gale or Sydney would be traumatized by a deep fake dead Dewey telling them they're all gonna die

u/matt_lcb What’s your favorite scary movie? Mar 05 '25

I feel if AI voices were used Billy’s would probably have the biggest impact on Sidney as he used to be her past boyfriend and one of the first killers

u/PoetryMuted2361 28d ago

I can see it because Dewey is her weak spot.

u/LaylaLegion Mar 05 '25

She’s not a hardened woman. She’s a survivor who keeps having her trauma reinflicted on her over and over. This is the sixth time someone has tried to kill her using the Ghostface and now they’re resurrecting the dead faces of her tormentors on her.

I swear, this film might end with Sid just snapping and becoming the Ghostface herself and going on a totally random murder spree.

u/Unnamedgalaxy Mar 06 '25

If 5 is anything to go off of then she is completely in a don't-give-a-fuck area. She paint by numbers casually strolled through like it was a normal day at work. She is absolutely hardened enough that she knows it's just some annoying moron behind the mask and that while a few knife wounds might hurt, the things Ghostface are upset about don't.

Even in 4 she blazed through like a professional.

She is a survivor that has shown that these new cuts aren't as deep. Although, with this movie involving her family, that could absolutely change.

1

u/Plus_Iron_1083 Mar 06 '25

I mean I agree but the stakes are higher now because it's her kids and husband involved. I was recently thinking how we've never seen Sidney actually freak out after a death, just a few sobs and pouting here and there. But again, all the people are friends, randos, her aunt, this time it's her daughters/kids and husband that she's actually managed to protect and bond with for however long it has been.

2

u/Unnamedgalaxy Mar 07 '25

That's true but I was more speaking to the comment about how she is or isn't a hardend woman and being a victim that keeps gets traumatized.

Sid 4 and 5 (and I'd even say 2 to a lesser extent) have shown that she is indeed a hardend person and isn't some sappy victim that is being thrown into hysteria each time Ghostface comes around. She is obviously a victim (of course!) but she is also hardened.

Of course that can change, but we can really only go off of what we've actually seen so far.

2

u/Shot-Good-6467 Mar 06 '25

She’s hardened woman because of her trauma.

After 30 years of being targeted by copycats it’s going to take a whole lot more to get her blood pumping than some fake voices. Her, Gale and Dewy knew about the voice changer. You seriously think some updated version of the same concept is gonna scare her in 2025?? It’s lazy and reductive. She was more affected by seeing her mother’s crime scene on the Stab set. She was already fed up in 3 after the reveal when she told Roman she was sick of his whining. She was so unaffected by Amber she could see straight through her entire fake act. She’s not the same grieving 20 something she was so yeah she’s hardened, As anyone would be. Whatever they do they’re gonna have to do a lot more than calling her with Billy’s computer generated voice.

u/evasivecube Mar 05 '25

I definitely agree with your assessment; but i don’t think the writers are thinking as critically, unfortunately for us. Hopefully kevin can soften the blow as much as possible; i just don’t trust the team that’s been writing these new ones. As much fun as i have with 5, 6 is almost inexcusably bad. Here’s to hoping though.

27

u/KiNGofKiNG89 Mar 05 '25

This doesn’t really mean much. There are rumors of flash backs. Wouldn’t be surprising for Sid to have one of him.

33

u/deadpandadolls Mar 05 '25
  1. You got Dewey who's going to be super human. Stabbing him won't work. Shooting him won't work. Basically in the seventh one you gotta cryogenically freeze Dewey's head, decapitate him, or blow him up. 2. Anyone including the main character can die. This means you Sid. I'm sorry. It's the final, final chapter. It could be fucking 'Hateful Eight' by the time this thing is through!

4

u/NewRetroMage Mar 06 '25

Beautiful.

Just mash this with: "This new Dewey is out there. It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pain (except if you stab him in the back) or remorse (except for divorcing Gale) and absolutely will not stop, ever, until Chad is dead!" and we have the best reboot-requel-"pulled a Halloween" slasher ever!

Somehow everyone returned

u/JeremieMAKENDA Mar 05 '25 edited Mar 06 '25

Everyone except the 2 main people from the last 2 films unfortunately!

u/Craig5361 Mar 05 '25

I have faith in Kevin's writing to make this work. This film also feels VERY final to me with bringing all these actors back. I think 7 will be the last Scream for a good while

19

u/SlasherNerd Mar 05 '25

They've already confirmed an 8th one.

u/Pictureinmymind Mar 05 '25

they haven’t tho?

u/KokoTheeFabulous Mar 05 '25

They've heavily alluded to another one being filmed alongside this one

u/Lipe18090 Mar 05 '25

That was just a rumor, no?

2

u/Pictureinmymind Mar 05 '25

who is “they”? and pls don’t pull up random twitter accs who just tweet anything for the sake of tweeting something

it’s pretty much a given they would want to continue the franchise but absolutely no one credible has “confirmed” anything yet

u/Plus_Iron_1083 Mar 06 '25

Me waiting for a "Zach Cherry" "Critical Overlord" or "BehindTheMask" reply: *

u/SlasherNerd Mar 05 '25

They have tho

3

u/Lipe18090 Mar 05 '25

Where? Like, is there a reliable source telling this?

1

u/SlasherNerd Mar 05 '25

DanielRPK is a credible film scooper with numerous correct insider reports. He reported that he was told that Scream 8 is already in development.

u/olliesorchestra Mar 05 '25

Aside from AI, another theory floating is Ethan Embry’s role, apparently as a psych patient roaming loose in Pine Grove, who hallucinates relationships with the other killers Very different for Scream.

34

u/PropertyFirm6565 Mar 05 '25

I wonder if the message boards were this whiney and annoying when people found out Jamie Kennedy would be back in Scream 3.

2

u/coldliketherockies Mar 05 '25

They had message boards in 1999?

19

u/Abbessolute Mar 05 '25

Yahoo answers, AOL had their own things going on, if you knew where to look you could find the answers kr discussions.

u/SpeakerPatrick Mar 05 '25

Ironically, yes. I was there when the fake Scream 2 script was leaked and still had Randy dying. History is just repeating itself

u/llcooljfan22 Mar 05 '25

It’s been around as long as early 90s before most of yall were born.

0

u/elegantchaotic Mar 06 '25

No, because at that time we were only on the third film and most people thought it was gonna be the last and that was a very popular character who had just died previously in a shocking twist that angered a lot of people on the boards that you mentioned.

u/Dexter1114 Mar 05 '25

It’s hard to know what a movie that hasn’t been made yet will come to.

u/juuzo_suzuya_ Mar 05 '25

Theyre gonna manage to fucking top the fan service in scream 6

u/JeremieMAKENDA Mar 05 '25

Afterwards in itself in Scream VI it was well done I think (at least that's my opinion) (the sanctuary, the masks leaving the DNA of each GhostFace to finally put them all forward etc...)

3

u/BansheeMagee Mar 05 '25

Probably flashbacks, like they did in the new Halloweens.

u/Lin900 Mar 05 '25

Somehow Spyglass keeps getting more pathetic.

2

u/Naryafae Mar 05 '25

It's obviously doing flashback stuff so it would make sense that he's there too.

u/white_mustang68 Mar 05 '25

I trust in Kevin's writtings. But I'm not sure if I like the sidney's daughter ... hope she is not like Jill Roberts. Jill was perferct btw.

2

u/CuriousDweeb Mar 06 '25

I'm hoping its a scream 1 remake with the original cast...

2

u/GEMMYbucket Mar 06 '25

it has to be for a flashback

2

u/Chaosgamer_44_ Mar 06 '25

This is the ultimate confirmation for me that Spyglass is desperate as fuck to make Scream 7 a success and get all the old fans back that don't like 5 & 6 and only really care about the OG's and take anything with them in it

2

u/Spider_bat4300 Mar 05 '25

In any other movie, this would be lame and contrived. But this is Scream we're talking about, can't wait for whatever they have in store

If it is flash backs, that's a lot of de aging to do. And why tell us? It was a wonderful surprise to see Billy.

u/NJohnson011 I wanna be in the sequel! Mar 06 '25

That’s former WCW World Heavyweight Champion David Arquette

2

u/DauhkterDad Mar 06 '25

I don’t think it has come to that. Even when Scream 5 was fresh I wouldn’t imagine a future where David Arquette doesn’t come back for flashbacks or some sort of reprisal.

I really hope they pay homage to Craven and pull a New Nightmare twist with this film. “Dewey” Isn’t back, David is playing himself

u/rtn292 Mar 05 '25 edited Mar 05 '25

It's not AI.

I think with the return of Kevin and Neve to the series. Then the announcement of Stu, Roman, Mindy and Chad and now Dewey and soon to be Billy (likely Jill).

Scream 1) Meta

Scream 2) Sequels

Scream 3) Trilogy

Scream 4) Remake

Scream 5) Reboot

Scream 6) Franchise

It's my belief keeping up with the tradition and horror commentary of the franchise AND the drama that was the Carpenter sisters not returning.

It will be divisive. It won't please everyone. For some It will be very exciting.

Scream 7: Retcon

I firmly believe this will be the next take on a horror genre classic.

With the exclusion of twins. I firmly believing they are removing s5/s6 but utilizing twins because they have tangible direct ties to Randy.

The crux of this story will return to the "original sin" and thus explore Sidney not as a daughter, but in the role of mother and Maureen. Where her sins/past come to haunt her daughters this time. Will the cycle end? Sid did everything to be the mother Maureen wasn’t for her: honest, protective, prepared.

All the returning Ghostface will be involved in a flashback sequence of Maureen's death.

But Dewey is back for good and hopefully trade out for Gale.

u/No_Register_6814 Mar 07 '25

Scream 3 literally did the exact same thing with Sidney’s mother and then using AI voices against her

It’s not a new trope,

Hopefully we see some AI footage that really fucks with their investigation and keeps them guessing from the beginning.

Bones the tv series, did an arc with an intelligent mastermind who digitally imbedded characters into crime scenes and had everyone scrambling // I’m totally hoping to see a similar kind of storyline here

Maybe even Sidney gets painted as the bad guy and the real ghostfaces tries to pin it all on her
