Скачать или смотреть Scream 5: Jamie Kennedy Confirms Randy Is Dead

With Scream now available to own on 4K in celebration of the film’s 25th anniversary, I got the chance to chat with Randy Meeks himself, Jamie Kennedy!

Scream proved to be quite the launchpad for Kennedy who, before hitting the set with genre icon Wes Craven, had a handful of TV guest spots to his name and also appeared in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet as Sampson. While Scream’s $6.4 million opening weekend in December 1996 may not necessary make it seem like a box office smash, it did go on to accumulate nearly $86 million before scoring a boost in screens in April 1997 that brought its grand total at the domestic box office to about $103 million. The thing is though, with a movie like Scream, it’s not just about those initial box office receipts. It’s about how the film reignited the slasher genre and amassed a significant cult following in the process, making it one of the most successful horror franchises of all time with four installments and another on the way.

Who’s at the heart of that beloved mythology? Well, the surviving big three, of course — Neve Campbell’s Sidney, David Arquette’s Dewey and Courteney Cox’s Gale — but it’s Kennedy’s Randy who fuels a significant amount of Scream’s meta components, something that’s inspired similar characters and qualities in countless other films, including the Scream series itself.

An especially big moment for Randy in that respect? The rules scene, of course. And it turns out, not only did the rules scene make an indelible impression on Scream and the genre movie forward, but filming it changed the game for Kennedy as a young actor. Check out what he had to say about that and the rumors that Randy could return for Scream 5 in this interview!
