I feel like the stakes of the movie depend so greatly on us being able to express that there isn’t really a safe place to hide in our film. As you start to commit to a choice that has that much gravity, I think it’s natural to want to gut check yourself and go, fuck, is this the right thing? I think that we all knew in our hearts though that it was, for so many reasons, right. Coyote-ing towards the edge of the cliff and then you start backing up. I just think that it was that feeling of, you’re Wile E. Tyler Gillett: No, I think we all knew that we were going to do what we had to do. And he didn’t say anything until I think yesterday. It was a trip, but Skeet was incredible and he also managed to keep it a secret for the last almost year, a year and a half however long. Cause we were shooting crime scene photos. And he hadn’t shaved for like five years and we put him in the costume and it was surreal.
We did that on him and instantly you’re like, oh, you kind of already looked like Billy, this is wild. They apparently even on the original “Scream,” that was him sitting in the chair every day, getting it to do that cool 90s thing. The last thing we shot was with Billy, with Skeet and, he came out and he was just into it, he just loved it. And then in terms of getting him involved, he came out for one day. And for us we loved it and thought it just makes the whole story so rich and it helps inform Sam in such a big way. And the Billy one I would say was, I think everybody kind of knew the Dewey one wasn’t going to change, even though we always had that conversation, but the Billy one was one that even when we were in the edit, it was a lot of like, is this really going to make it? Is this going to be too jarring? Is it outside the bounds of “Scream”?Īnd in the process, in pre-production at some point, Kevin Williamson said that Billy in the movie is the one thing that doesn’t feel like “Scream.” And that’s why I think you guys need to do it. The two things that were up for debate throughout the process were Billy and the Dewey death. So it was there from the minute we got involved. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin: This, idea was in the script that we read. When this idea came in and how hard it was to get him back in the fold? ‘Scream’ Star Jack Quaid on Toxic Fandom and Loving ‘The Last Jedi’ Paramount Pictures/Spyglassįirst off: the return of Billy Loomis.
