who will die in the opening scene?


Personally, I say Gale. Nothing against the character, but it would be shocking, and show they mean business. Also a slight homage to the fact that they considered Jennifer Aniston for the opening of 4, which, I've always thought would've been cooler (maybe as Sidney's aunt?). I've always thought it would've been cool if 4 had been ballsy enough to kill one of the main three. Gale is arguably the most expendable. Plus, while from the outside, she and David Arquette seem on good terms, they might understandably not want to work together on another installment, especially given their characters' relationship. My main worry then would be that they'd then try to force a Sidney/Dewey romance down the road, which would feel wrong for a number of reasons.

Gale's definitely next in line if they decide to kill one of the main 3 this time around. I'd love not having to see that ugly mug for another two hours

IMO though, they shouldn't kill anyone in the opening scene. Just build the story naturally and wait till around the 15 minute mark or so before having Ghostface arrive to murder somebody. Change it up a bit. I thought that's what they should have done in Scream 4 (Olivia should have been the first 'real' murder)
