Scream 7: Billy Loomis' Original Plan Revealed
7 Dec
Summary
- Skeet Ulrich reveals Billy Loomis' original Scream 7 arc.
- The initial plan was for Billy to turn his daughter into a killer.
- Scream 7's direction shifted after cast and crew departures.
Skeet Ulrich, who portrayed serial killer Billy Loomis, has disclosed the original storyline planned for his character in the Scream franchise's future. The initial concept involved a multi-film arc where Billy would gradually corrupt his daughter, Sam Carpenter, into becoming the next Ghostface killer. This ambitious narrative was ultimately abandoned due to a series of behind-the-scenes developments.
The production of Scream 7 faced considerable upheaval, including the departure of directors, the firing of lead actress Melissa Barrera, and the exit of Jenna Ortega. These changes necessitated a significant creative redirection for the seventh installment of the horror series.
Consequently, Scream 7 has been reimagined, shifting its focus to the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott. The film's narrative now centers on Sidney's family being terrorized by a new Ghostface, marking a departure from the earlier plans involving Billy Loomis's influence.
