With Scream 7 finally in development after some pre-production issues, franchise veterans have shared their opinion on the reboot movies, among them Matthew Lillard, and though hes right about them, hes missing one big point. Although Scream 4 gave Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), and Dewey Riley (David Arquette) a proper ending in 2011, the franchise came back to life in 2022 thanks to the trend of reboots and legacy sequels. Scream (2022) brought together the original trio of survivors and a new generation of characters, led by Sam (Melissa Barrera) and Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega).
