Gale should be the villain of Scream 8 |
Seasons change, and another Scream movie has cycled through theaters. Scream 7 broke franchise records by clearing the $200 million mark at the box office. Naturally, those numbers have ensured that another Ghostface slasher is barreling down on us, and, truly, there is no place left for us to hide. Now, The Hollywood Reporter reports that Scream 8 is officially in the works, with Poker Face writers Lilla and Nora Zuckerman taking over script duties.
Despite the fiscal success of Scream 7, many critics agree that what was once a hip, modern take on horror has merely become one of the tedious franchises it spoofed. That the new film leaned into nostalgia is no secret, and it reaped some notable rewards for doing so. This turn might suggest that, in the next film, franchise mainstay Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) will be stuck in the same zone she’s been in for the last few films: mourning Dewey (David Arquette), running people over, chasing the latest scoop, and throwing out some killer one-liners along the way.
Or, hear us out… maybe she’s Ghostface.
