‘Scream’ Clip: A Weathered Dewey Breaks Down Three Rules to Identify Ghostface [Video]
Wes Craven’s 1996 masterpiece Scream might be a slasher on its surface, but it’s importantly also a whodunit in which any of the film’s characters could be the killer.
Paramount Pictures has made the mystery a huge part of the marketing behind the new Scream, this time directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett, as well as executive producer Chad Villella, the three members of the filmmaking group Radio Silence (Ready or Not, V/H/S, Southbound).
In this brand new clip, a weathered Dewey Riley (David Arquette) looks defeated, like he’s given up on life after 25 years of continual trauma. Two of the suspects teens have tracked him down in search of answers. What they get are three rules that will help them identify who is behind the Ghostface mask.
- Rule #1: Never trust the love interest.
- Rule #2: The Killer’s motive is always connected to something in the past.
- Rule #3: First victim always has a friend group that the killer is always part of.

Below, you can join our own Halloweenies podcast as they break down the recent first trailer for the highly anticipated sequel. Lots of theories already!
Two things that have proven to be pretty dependable at the box office in recent years are horror movies and Christopher Nolan movies. With Nolan’s The Odyssey absolutely dominating the box office this past weekend, many fans of Nolan’s work have been left hungry for a Nolan-directed horror movie. After all, The Odyssey does whet the appetite for Nolan nightmare fuel.
Christopher Nolan has brushed up against the horror genre in the past with 2002 thriller Insomnia, but does he have any interest in someday making a full-on horror movie?
Nolan tells the Empire Podcast in a new chat, “I’ve always been interested in doing a horror film.”
“But horror is most successful when the conceptual framework of whatever the story is is just so undeniable. I think there are very few really great horror movies,” Nolan continues.
So why hasn’t Christopher Nolan directed a horror movie yet?
He explains to Empire, “I’ve never clicked with a particular idea or concept that worked for me. I love the genre. Of all genres, it’s the most visceral. Where the direct response to the audience is the most important. That is to say, you’re trying to make people literally feel something in their bones about what’s going on on-screen.”
Nolan calls horror “a genre in which experimentation is demanded.” He explains, “I go to see a lot of horror films with my kids these days, and you’ll see things in the first half an hour, 45 minutes of any horror film that you’d never see in another genre. Risks that are taken. Dangerous approaches to things. Admittedly, a lot of movies can’t sustain that to the end. But in the horror genre, that kind of innovation is not just respected – it’s really demanded.”
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is now playing in theaters.
