Here’s Why Scream Should Change Directors for Every Sequel
The Big Picture Last week, word came down that the Scream franchise will undergo a major shakeup behind the camera. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the filmmaking team behind Scream and Scream VI are out. Writer/director Christopher Landon, the man who made Freaky and -- more importantly -- the excellent Happy Death Day, is in and will presumably be handling scripting and directing duties for the series' upcoming seventh installment.
And they did a pretty great job of it, as Scream featured a likable batch of new characters, found fun ways to incorporate the legacy characters, and gave the world a pair of fucked-up new Ghostfaces who were forged in the embers of Reddit and Twitter.
Scream could benefit from a similar system. This is especially true because the older the series gets, the less important its legacy characters are to the story. David Arquette's Dewey is dead. Neve Campbell's Sidney sat the last movie out, which didn't do much to diminish the film's box-office returns.
