The Scream filmmakers explain why THAT character had to die.
[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for Scream 2022.]The Scream 2022 filmmakers did it. We’ve been speculating about this happening for quite some time now, but it didn’t make it any less shocking when the team behind the new film killed off one of the original three. David Arquette’s Dewey Riley is dead.
“It was so emotional and it was so gut-wrenching when we read it we're like, ‘Oh yes, this is the right choice. This is exactly what you need to feel right now at this point in the movie.’ And also, it would be the only thing that would bring Sidney back to Woodsboro, I think.” RELATED: 'Scream' Directors Confirm THAT Character's "Hero's Return" Is a Hallucination, Not a Ghost
Gillett recalled that during preview screenings, they often heard about how Dewey’s death kicks the film into a new gear. Yes, the movie is about following the who-done-it all the way through, “but it's also about a real justice in that moment.” How Dewey’s death changes the shape and feel of the story going forward was an extremely important element of the film to Gillett and the team.
