Scream 7 Shocker! Alison Brie Reveals Franchise's BIGGEST Mistake!

Actress Alison Brie, known for her role in Scream 4, has ignited a flurry of discussion among fans with her bold opinions on the direction of the Scream franchise. In a recent podcast appearance on Shut Up Evan, alongside her husband Dave Franco, Brie didn't hold back when sharing her thoughts on what the newer Scream films are getting wrong.

Alison Brie's 'Scream' Critique: Too Many Survivors?

Brie's primary concern revolves around the high survival rate of core characters. "The core four needs to die!" she exclaimed, suggesting that by Scream 7, the original group should be significantly reduced, ideally down to just two members. This controversial take has sparked debate, with some fans agreeing that the stakes need to be raised, while others cherish the established characters.

A Regrettable Death: Dewey Riley's Demise

However, Brie also expressed regret over the decision to kill off David Arquette's character, Dewey Riley. She believes that keeping the "main three" – Dewey, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), and Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) – was crucial to the franchise's success and appeal. The three OG characters appeared in all of the first four movies, and have each reprised their roles for various installments of the new revived franchise.

Resurrection Dreams: Brie's 'Scream 7' Pitch

Despite her character Rebecca Walters meeting a grim end in Scream 4, Brie is hopeful for a potential return. Her husband, Dave Franco, even suggested that the new Scream rules, which allow for character resurrections, could pave the way for her comeback. "I feel like with new Scream rules, even though she dies brutally, we could bring her back," Franco noted, prompting Brie to enthusiastically ask, "Yeah, where’s my role in Scream 7?"

The possibility of Alison Brie's return, coupled with her critical assessment of the franchise's current trajectory, has generated significant buzz. Whether the Scream writers will heed her advice remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the Scream franchise continues to evolve and provoke passionate reactions from its dedicated fanbase.

Sarah Michelle Gellar has also expressed interest in reprising her Scream 2 role, stating "I'm waiting for my call".
