I wasn't even up on how intense people are following Ghostface," Mulroney said.The "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "Zodiac" star noted that he wasn't told who he was playing when he was given chunks of the script, so he was trying to figure out who the killer was.He recalled: "So then I get pieces of the script, but they neglected to tell me what part I'm playing. So I'm looking for two things when I'm reading the script, which part it is that I am and who it is in the script that's going to wind up being Ghostface." Mulroney said that he suspected he was going to play Sam's psychologist, Christopher Stone (Henry Czerny), and didn't even consider Detective Bailey because of the way he was written."So, for a while, I suspected that I was going to play the psychologist because Bailey is written so mildly I thought that's probably not my part; it's just a passing detective. It shows you that the script itself was quite ingenious in how they buried Bailey or made him incidental to scenes. Then I get to the end, and it is Bailey! It was me all along!"The final act sees Bailey unmask himself as the killer alongside his children Quinn (Liana Liberato) and son Ethan (Jack Champion), who all want to avenge Richie's death.According to Mulroney, filming the final act was "glorious.""It was glorious. It was glorious, and all of us were in a great mood because it's that moment in the movies," he said."Scream 6" is in theaters now.

After the kill, he unmasks himself as a student, Jason Carvey, <a href="https://www.insider.com/scream-6-tony-revolori-never-watched-the-movies-casting-interview-2022-10">played by Tony Revolori</a>.While Carvey goes back to his apartment, it isn't long before <a href="https://www.insider.com/scream-ghostface-all-killers-so-far">the film's true Ghostface</a> surfaces and kills Jason for trying to steal the limelight. It's a fresh take on the typical slasher opening that lets audiences know the film is going to keep them on their toes once again. Speaking to Insider, <a href="https://www.insider.com/scream-drew-barrymore-casey-becker-cyborg-return-2023-5">writers Guy Busick and James Vanderbilt</a> recalled how they both came up with the same concept "independently of each other."Busick explained: "On our first story session, I sort of pitched him this idea of like, 'OK, we're with Ghostface. Ghostface does a kill. Takes the mask off. Then we follow Ghostface and he's infiltrated the friend group. And then that Ghostface gets the call and then we go from there.'" <div type="image" title="Ghostface in Scream 6" height="1179" width="1573" msid="100190332" hostid="261"></div>"He sort of had this look on his face and I was like, 'Oh, I'm bombing. This is terrible, isn't it?'" Busick recalled of Vanderbilt's reaction."And he holds up his notepad, and it says the same thing. It's like: 'Ghostface takes off mask. We follow Ghostface.' And I'm like, 'Boom! We're on the same page.' And that's what really got us excited."Busick added: "That was one of the many things that got us excited about the movie. The other being, you know, the New York setting and like all the stuff we could do there. But that was one of our first ideas."The writers both wanted to have three Ghostfaces hunting Sam and Tara, but the identities of the terrible trio changed while they were trying to figure out the story, and it wasn't originally Richie's family coming for revenge."It was always a family, but not necessarily Richie's," said Vanderbilt. "And then as we talked about it, we were like, 'This is the cleanest way to do it.' And Kevin Williamson talks about the great thing about most of these movies is that at the end of the day, the motive is always something primal."He added: "It's Billy with Sidney and her mom. It's Nancy Loomis with Sidney. It always sort of goes back to something very primal, and this felt like the most cleanest and sort of primal thing of family versus family.""Scream 6" is available to download and keep on video-on-demand now, and is available on DVD and Blu-ray from July 10.

"It's funny, I've never seen a 'Scream' movie," Revolori said. "Maybe I shouldn't have admitted that, but there we go."The actor credited his involvement in the forthcoming sixth installment of "Scream" to Mason Gooding, who joined the franchise as Chad Meeks-Martin in the fifth movie, released in 2021. Revolori said that when he had the opportunity to be part of "Scream 6," he spoke to his friend Gooding. "He sold me on why it's such a phenomenal set, why the directors are phenomenal, and why producers are great," Revolori said. "And he wasn't wrong. I had the best time on set.

"It's awful, because you also see how, in a city like New York City, everyone is kind of doing their own thing and someone is screaming for help, and no one will come to their help," she said. "No one comes to help them, everyone's kind of like, 'I'm not getting into that.'"

A few familiar faces will be returning for the new film, which is reportedly being filmed outside of the US. While it's not set to be released until March 2023, we've rounded up everything to know about the forthcoming "Scream 6" film. <h2>'Scream 6' was greenlit shortly after the premiere of the fifth movie in the franchise</h2>The first film in the series not directed by Wes Craven (who died in 2015), "Scream" (also referred to as "Scream 5") featured <a href="https://www.insider.com/david-arquette-what-its-like-stay-original-scream-house-photos-2021-10">David Arquette</a>, Courteney Cox, and Neve Campbell (reprising their roles as Dewey Riley, Gale Weathers, and Sidney Prescott, respectively) from the <a href="https://www.insider.com/scream-movies-cool-facts-you-may-not-know-2021-10">four previous films</a>.Arquette was ultimately killed off at the end of "Scream," but Cox and Campbell's characters survived. "Scream" was a box office success, and Paramount and Spyglass approved a sequel to the latest film <a href="https://deadline.com/2022/02/scream-sequel-moving-forward-at-paramount-and-spyglass-1234925874/">shortly after the fifth "Scream" premiered in January</a>. <h2>Several franchise stars will be returning for 'Scream 6'</h2>Cox, as well as Hayden Panettiere (who played horror expert Kirby Reed in "Scream 4"), are <a href="https://screenrant.com/scream-6-movie-returning-characters-actors/">reportedly involved in the new film</a>, as are Melissa Barrera (the main character from 2022's "Scream"), and Jenna Ortega, whose character Tara was stabbed in the fifth movie's opening moments.

One of the people who spoke out about the lack of Afro-Latinx actors in the film was Carmen Phillips, editor-in-chief of <a href="https://www.autostraddle.com/">Autostraddle, a news and entertainment website for LGBTQ women</a>. Phillips wrote on Twitter that while she "loved 'In the Heights' with my entire soul," there was "a CLEAR casting choice not to cast any dark skinned Afro-Latinxs that should be discussed."Oscar-winning director Matthew Cherry also tweeted that Afro-Cuban actress "Gina Torres would have destroyed 'In The Heights'" for mainly casting white-passing Latinx actors in main roles.New York Times fellow Isabelia Herrera tweeted that "actors &amp; producers of in the heights don't even have the vocabulary to talk about colorism or anti-Black racism."Set primarily in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Upper Manhattan, "In The Heights" is adapted from the <keyword id="2819092" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Lin-Manuel-Miranda">Lin-Manuel Miranda</keyword> and Quiara Alegría Hudes Broadway musical of the same name. It tells the story of the Latin-American community in the neighborhood, led by bodega owner Usnavi (played by Anthony Ramos).<h2>Chu called the criticism about the film's casting choices 'a really good conversation to have'</h2>Ahead of the film's release, Chu <a href="https://www.theroot.com/lets-talk-about-in-the-heights-and-the-erasure-of-dark-1847064126">told The Root's Felice León at a press junket</a> that he "needed to be educated about" including more Black Latinx actors in "In The Heights.""In the end, when we were looking at the cast, we tried to get the people who were best for those roles and we saw a lot of people," Chu told the publication in a video published on Wednesday. "People like Daphne [Rubin-Vega] or Dascha [Polanco].""Listen, we're not going to get everything right in a movie," the director continued. "We tried our best on all fronts of it. I do think there's something to be said about sharing in experiences and me never trying to say, 'I know what I'm doing' but just to give room to everybody to speak up about what we're doing in that moment."<div type="image" title="in the heights usnavi" height="2000" width="2666" msid="83526481" hostid="261"></div>Melissa Barrera, who plays Usnavi's love interest Vanessa in "In The Heights," echoed Chu <a href="https://www.theroot.com/lets-talk-about-in-the-heights-and-the-erasure-of-dark-1847064126">in another interview featured in the same The Root video</a>, saying that the film was "looking for just the right people for the roles.""I think it's important to note, though, that in the audition process, which was a long audition process, there were a lot of Afro-Latinos there, a lot of darker-skinned people," Barrera said about the film's casting.Leslie Grace, who plays Nina Rosario in the movie, also told The Root that she hopes that "In The Heights" is "cracking that glass ceiling" with Latinx representation and she hopes to someday see darker-skinned actors "lead these movies.""I didn't realize until making this movie that I didn't really get to see myself or people that looked like my siblings, that are darker than me, on-screen," Grace, who is Afro-Latina, said about "In The Heights.""I didn't realize how much that affected the limitations that I put on myself," she continued.Grace added: "I feel so blessed that we get to express the diversity that is within the Latinx community [with 'In The Heights'] in a way that we haven't been able to see on-screen because so many times we're put on-screen in one particular way and since we get so little opportunity, everyone wants to claim that one story. Because it's all we got."In another interview published on Wednesday, Grace <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a36622511/leslie-grace-in-the-heights-interview/">also told Harper's Bazaar</a> that she was "super mindful" of Afro-Latinx representation while "embodying Nina."<h2>Chu previously responded to criticism of <keyword id="2770022" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="whitewashing">whitewashing</keyword> in '<keyword id="5946117" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="crazy-rich-asians">Crazy Rich Asians</keyword>'</h2>While promoting "In The Heights" on May 4, <a href="https://www.insider.com/jon-chu-crazy-rich-asians-whitewashing-stereotypes-tropes-2021-6">Chu told Insider</a> that he should have made the South Asian characters in "Crazy Rich Asians" "more human" in response to criticism for casting Brown actors in subservient roles.Some viewers criticized the 2018 box-office darling for featuring East Asian actors as protagonists but <a href="https://qz.com/quartzy/1260412/crazy-rich-asians-trailer-south-asians-criticize-film-for-lack-of-ethnic-diversity-and-singaporean-accent/">casting South Asian actors in domestic-worker roles</a>.<div type="image" title="Crazy Rich Asians Movie 2" height="999" width="1334" msid="83526484" hostid="261"></div>"That's a lesson that I did not understand until it happened," Chu said. "I was like, this is a book that exists, and I'm making this book into a movie. I can't add a new character into this book."Based on Kevin Kwan's 2013 novel of the same name, <a href="https://www.insider.com/crazy-rich-asians-review-extravagant-hilarious-and-poignant-2018-8">"Crazy Rich Asians" tells the story</a> of Rachel (played by Constance Wu), a Chinese American professor, as she meets her boyfriend Nick's (Henry Golding) ultra-wealthy family in Singapore.Though Indians are <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/622748/singapore-resident-population-by-ethnic-group/">the third-largest ethnic group</a> living in Singapore<a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/622748/singapore-resident-population-by-ethnic-group/"></a>, there are only a few South Asian characters in "Crazy Rich Asians," mostly armed guards working at Nick's sprawling mansion in the woods. "Looking back, I should have had a joke there [for the guards] being like, 'These idiots,'" the director said. "There's stuff to do to make them more human instead of just, like, these guards."
