When it comes to Scream 7<\/a>, fans of the horror franchise have had a lot of theories about the film since well before it hit theaters, the biggest being around the return of Matthew Lillard\u2019s Stu Macher. As one of the original Ghostface killers who died in the very first film, when it was announced that Lillard was reprising his role, fans were abuzz with theories about how Stu could have survived that TV drop. But while Scream 7 fully addresses Stu\u2019s return<\/a>, the film also opened up theories about another Ghostface \u2014 and now we have the official response.<\/p>\n

In Scream 7, there is a moment where we see various dead Ghostface killers appear via the use of AI deepfakes \u2014 the real killers are using one specifically of Stu Macher to torment Sidney, but they can also deepfake others as well, including Nancie Loomis (Laurie Metcalf) and Roman Bridger (Scott Foley) and perhaps most distressing, Dewey Riley (David Arquette). But fans noticed that Jill (Emma Roberts) wasn\u2019t among them making some fans theorize that Jill isn\u2019t really dead. Screenwriter Guy Busick is now making it very clear that yes, she is. He told ComicBook that Jill\u2019s death was definitive, and that\u2019s that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know anything about Emma or if she was approached,\u201d Busick said about Roberts potentially appearing in Scream 7. \u201cI love Jill, too. But she was shot in the head. It wasn\u2019t just the defibrillator. Sidney shoots her in the head. That\u2019s a pretty definitive ending\u2026 Even more so than Stu.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where Does Scream Go From Here?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While Busick seems to be pretty clear about Jill\u2019s fate and that we won\u2019t be seeing her again, there are still a lot of directions Scream 8 could go, should the franchise continue. There has already been some buzz that an eighth film<\/a> could be in the works which would mean that there may well be more Ghostface terror to come. If that\u2019s the case, Scream 7 did set things up pretty well for it. The goals of one of the killers in Scream 7 is to perpetuate the \u201cfinal girl\u201d cycle withy Sidney\u2019s daughter, Tatum. While that doesn\u2019t exactly work out quite as planned for the killers, Tatum is still exposed to similar trauma as what Sidney was in the original Scream. it sets everything up for a next generation situation.<\/p>\n

That said, it\u2019s unclear if Scream 8 will actually happen. The film hasn\u2019t yet been officially greenlit and even with place Scream 7 left the franchise, there are still a lot of different story direction things could go. The only thing we know for sure at this point is that we\u2019re not likely to see Jill back even if there is a Scream 8. Some deaths really are final.<\/p>\n
