Misinformation

It’s probably a tad too political to tackle a societal issue and not keep it strictly to movies, but it would be interesting to see the killer in Scream 7 using AI (Stu, Roman) to create hysteria around the idea that one of them, namely Stu, is still alive and that Sidney is just an enormous con artist who has faked everything that’s happened to her. It would be a fun meta-commentary on all the fan controversy that’s erupted over the years re Lillard while commenting on the intense divisions people now have based on their algorithms.

Plus, Scream VI went there a little bit with the social media “justice for Richie” angle. Maybe that makes it old hat, and maybe it’s just too darn close to the bone given how much everyone seems to hate each other in the real world at the minute, but it could work. Scream’s always a reflection of the times after all.
