Alison Brie, renowned for her portrayal of Rebecca Walters in "Scream 4," has opened up about her thoughts on the revamped horror franchise during a recent guest appearance on the "Shut Up Evan Podcast" alongside her husband, Dave Franco. With a playful grin, Brie pondered aloud about a potential reprise of her role, cleverly invoking the notorious "new Scream rules" that defy conventional mortality in the series.
Franco ignited the conversation, teasing, "Considering the new Scream rules, even though her demise was gruesome, there's always a chance for her to make a comeback." To which Brie replied with a mischievous smile, "Exactly, where do I sign up for 'Scream 7'?"
Their banter underscored the franchise's penchant for resurrecting beloved characters, with names like Matthew Lillard's Stu Macher, David Arquette's Dewey Riley, and Scott Foley's Roman Bridger all set to haunt screens once more in the upcoming seventh installment.
Brie offered her insights on the contemporary landscape of the "Scream" saga, quipping, "My beef with the current iteration of the franchise is that too many characters escape unscathed." She joked about thinning the ranks of the core quartet, asserting, "The core four has got to go! … By 'Scream 7,' we should be down to just two of the original four."
Franco joined in, alluding to Dewey's untimely demise in the previous film, which Brie deemed a "blunder."
Scheduled for a theatrical release on February 27, 2026, "Scream 7" will be helmed by Kevin Williamson, the visionary behind the franchise's original screenplay. The film also marks the triumphant return of Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott, who was notably absent from the last outing, "Scream VI." Given the franchise's storied history of shocking twists and unexpected turns, fans are on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this chilling saga.
