âWhile McKendrick is penning the pic, the idea for the new film came from Robinson and McKendrick, who blew away studio execs when they pitched this idea for a sequel last fall, especially given the recent success of the
Scream franchise. That film was recently relaunched with original cast members returning, and the idea of bringing back original castmembers to draw in old-school fans while also adding fresh faces to relaunch the series was too good for the studio to pass upâ
âSony also saw it important to not reboot the franchise but do a sort of âpassing of the torchâ-type sequel where original castmembers are brought back as a new generation cast members are added to the ensemble, similar to films like Screamâ
I was with it until they started with the scream comparisons, pass the torch and ânew generationâ babble - looks like another saturated CW PG13 made for tweenagers for a cash influx mid-authentic event in the works, instead of repurposing the film for its core audience like me, there from the beginning - the art of horror for creativity is lost these days
