Summary
Parker Posey hasn’t starred in manyhorrormovies, butherturn inScream 3as a ditzy and conceited actress named Jennifer Jolie was hilarious, clever, and engaging. Posey’s role was one of the most meta in the slasher franchise. Posey playedan actress playing Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) in severalStabmovies. I enjoyed watching Jennifer and Gale interact since they couldn’t be more different, although they both hoped to become beloved celebrities.
Manylegacy cast members are coming back toScream 7, and I’m excited to see how they are brought back, especially since many of them were killed. Posey isn’t returning to the slasher sequel. However,Posey recently talked about aScreamspinoff that she hopes to see, and I think it would be cool.
Parker Posey Would Love A Scream Stab Spinoff Movie And So Would I
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, according toBloody Disgusting,Parker Posey, who starred inScream 3,said she’d love aScreamspinoff filmand explained:
“There should be aStabmovie.”
Posey said she would be happy to portray Gale Weathers in theStabmovie and added:
“I’d play Gale now, but then I’d play a younger Gale and I’d have all the Snapchat features.”
I love the idea of a realStabmovie sincefans of theScreamfranchise have been curious about eachStabmovie ever since the beginning. If theScreamfranchise is campy, fun, and hilarious, then theStabmovies are perhaps even more so.EachStabmovie pokes fun at the real-life danger of Ghostface, just like theScreamfranchise satirizes the slasher genre. Since audiences have seen glimpses of severalStabmovies since the firstScreamfilm was released in 1996, it definitely seems like time to make a real one.I would be thrilled to see Posey portray Gale in aStabfilm.Screamis a meta franchise, and making a realStabwould be the most meta move of all.
However, sinceStabis essentially a paint-by-numbers version of the firstScreammovie’s story, I think there should be some changes. If a realStabmovie were made,it should comment on the entire franchise. This way,legacy characters like Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard)can be featured, along with newer characters such as Mindy Meeks-Martin (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Chad Meeks-Martin (Mason Gooding). Audiences would definitely love to see all their favorite characters. Otherwise, aStabfilm could be boring and lackluster.
SinceScreamspoofs other horror movies, it’s about time that another movie spoofedScream.Sure, the originalScary Moviedid that once upon a time, but it’s been over two decades since that movie was released in 2000. Even thoughthere will be aScary Movielegacy sequel, it might not talk about theScreamfranchise since it already has. I think thataStabmovie could poke fun at everything from Ghostface’s voice to why new killers keep using the same motive of revenge or looking for fame.
What Happened To Parker Posey’s Scream 3 Character?
Parker Posey’sScream 3character Jennifer Jolie has a lot of fun… at least until she gets killed by Ghostface. Sheloves being a famous actress and wants to get to know Gale Weathers bettersince she feels that will help inform her performance. Of course, prickly Gale doesn’t want anything to do with her and isn’t thrilled that someone else is playing her in a film franchise. Although Jennifer fights back, she dies when Ghostface stabs her and throws her through a mirror. Whileother Ghostfaces in theScreamfranchisekilled characters in gorier and more violent ways, this was still a pretty brutal way to go.
In an email interview withTooFab, Posey talked about playing Jennifer and said:
“I’m glad to hear she’s beloved online. I think the fans like the part because I was funny and irreverent. And also, getting to see Gale doubled by an actress playing her added layers to the enjoyment of the last of the trilogy.”
Scott Foley, who played Roman Bridger inScream 3and isreprising his role inScream 7,toldThe A.V. Clubthat Posey would read him poetry while they filmed the third movie, which is fun to hear about.
