The directors of ScreamVI defend how Ghostface uses a shotgun in the upcoming sequel.
The first trailer for the upcoming Scream VI surprised audiences by showcasing that, in one scene, the killer Ghostface torments our heroes with a shotgun, while previous entries saw the figure commit their brutal crimes with knives, which is exactly why directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett wanted to introduce the weapon.
"We don't want it to be safe. We don't want it to be boring. We want it to be fun and to raise eyebrows," Bettinelli-Olpin revealed to SFX Magazine, per Digital Spy."When we heard 'Ghostface in New York and he has a shotgun,' it was like: 'What?!' The two feelings of 'What are we doing?' and 'We have to do it!' are often intrinsically tied and that was a perfect example of that.
As compared to the killers in other slasher franchises, Ghostface has always been more grounded in reality, which includes being physically overpowered in various ways. If the killer has a knife, a potential victim can overpower Ghostface in a way that allows them to escape. The upcoming sequel will seemingly bring audiences a Ghostface that's deadlier than ever.
"There are a ton of fun, wonderful, classic Ghostface moments, but it's not the pratfalling Ghostface," Gillet added."We love that, but for this to be scary and to achieve a level of visceral tension, we wanted to put the character more in the real world. If Ghostface is trying to get through a door, it's going to happen! There's no giving up. When he's in pursuit, the pursuit doesn't end until he's achieved his goal.
The new film is described,"Following the latest Ghostface killings, the four survivors leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter. In Scream VI, Melissa Barrera , Jasmin Savoy Brown , Mason Gooding , Jenna Ortega , Hayden Panettiere , and Courteney Cox return to their roles in the franchise alongside Jack Champion, Henry Czerny, Liana Liberato, Dermot Mulroney, Devyn Nekoda, Tony Revolori, Josh Segarra, and Samara Weaving.
