Scream 5 and 6 would have gone down very differently if original screenwriter Kevin Williamson had been in the driver's seat. Before Ready or Not helmers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett took the reins, Williamson had his own plans for what would follow 2011's Scream 4.
"In my original conceit, Jill survived and went to college," Williamson told CinePop, referring to Sidney Prescott's teen cousin who was introduced in the fourth installment – and revealed to be Ghostface. "She got away with it, all the killings in Scream 4 she got away with, and she was now the new Sidney and she was the new celebrity victim, and she was loving it. And someone figured her out and started killing all the people in her life, and so in order for her not to be exposed as the killer, she had to find the killer. And that was Scream 5."
