'Scream VI’s' Directors Explain Why They Included So Many Fan Theories In The New Slasher

Transcript

00:00I really loved how throughout the movie you all referenced so many fan theories either like with

00:05the passing line or by making it like an actual part of the plot. Can you speak to why this was

00:11important besides like giving us more like red herrings possibly? Yeah I think that one of the

00:17things that really excited us about this movie is and it was and it was very much on the page and I

00:21think but I think we're still sort of surprised at how well the meta conversation is actually

00:29baked into the plot of this that you know there aren't a lot of kind of side side quest conversations

00:35where they're just referencing things that it feels like the legacy of these movies the fan

00:40theories all of that is like very much plot specific right it has a reason to exist in the

00:46movie outside of just a fun way for the movie to wink and nod at the audience and that I that to

00:53us is one of the really fun kind of twists on the genre that's that we're that we're playing

00:59with in this movie. Well there were so many moments where like I thought I caught something

01:03and then you guys got me you know it really keeps the audience on their toes in such a fun way.

01:08Look I would say too I think one of the things that we love about this fandom is that there's

01:11a standard that we that we have to hold ourselves to because of how detail-oriented and smart

01:18the the viewership is like that to us that's an amazing thing to have to achieve at a certain

01:23level because you're going to hold us accountable in a really in a really honest way and that's

01:28that's really fun to create under that.
