@JWCM @BlkAssFeminist If you’re willing to hire Native sensitivity readers and they give you the go ahead, fine. But in my experience reading things, most of the time it just comes across as a lazy solution to break a story and insensitive, but try your shot I don’t care what you write truly

Screenwriters who try to write horror cause they think it’s easy and do nothing to explore the genre’s diverse history always submit scripts that are like “Okay, so it’s Scream…but guess this, the twist is that instead of a knife, Ghostface uses a hammer” and that’s it

We as a society need to start pitching sequels that reconceptualize the premise through a new creative lens instead of just adding a number to the title and repeating the first film. This is such a great premise and offers a ton of thematic potential!
