New Rules

Will this film point out and satirize the tropes of horror reboots/remakes since it has been about 10 years since the last film and 25 since the original? Maybe Sydney will be a “badass” now like Laurie Strode in Halloween 2018 and Sarah Connor in Terminator: Dark Fate.

Rule number 1: Originality is overrated. Brands sell.
Rule number 2: Nostalgia BABY
Rule number 3: Doesn't matter. With the first 2 rules in place we already got a winner BABY.

Haha. Maybe there will be a rule that the original actor gets killed after setting up the new younger protagonist (i.e. Han Solo in Force Awakens).

That’s e. g. (“for example”), not i. e. ((“that is, and ONLY that is.”)

Education. It matters.

They'll turn Sydney into a mary sue, she'll have a butch haircut and a permanent sour expression on her face (to prevent the heinous male gaze...) and whenever this change is questioned by fans, SJWs will come out and say "did you manbabies see the original Scream movies? She's always been like that incel"

That and it doesn't feel right to continue the franchise without Wes.

R.I.P. Wes Craven.
