On SCREAM VII

My running theory is that it's absolutely going to be about deepfake and AI. SCREAM ultimately is a commentary on pop culture. Remember that SCREAM 4 opened the fame-obsessed influencer world discussion ahead of time. They're bound to touch on AI/deepfakes at some point, and there are already horrific real-world examples to pull from.

My guess is that Lilard's character will be the culprit of this madness, and it's all to drive Sydney yet again to her wits' end by "reanimating" the bodies of Ghostfaces past...and notably, Syd's own mom, Maureen. Lilard's character will be disguised as one of these resurrected AI Ghostfaces but will be revealed to actually be alive.

There will also be a meta-textual discussion about SCREAM VII's own use of generative AI in the film, a practice that's (rightfully, IMO) frowned upon by filmmakers all around the globe (see: LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL
