![]() But this was a unique challenge and I think it scratched an itch we don't know we had, and I think it'll continue to itch. I think we've got a lot of really fun, original stuff coming up as well. ![]() And so I know we'll have a ton of really amazing stuff with Guy and Jamie and William and Paul, the Project X team. I think once you've had an experience with people that really changes you, not only creatively, but fills your heart up and fulfills you, really, in ways that I think we all never thought we would be fulfilled, you just want to replicate that as many times as possible. We just want to be involved in all of it. We certainly know that Guy and Jamie have amazing ideas about where Scream could go after this last one. ![]() We know that there's been a conversation about Ready or Not. We have a bunch of really fun, original things that we're working on. “I think I can say that we love both ideas and I think we want to pursue both things. So what’s the priority after Scream's success? Is it to continue on with the franchise or to shake things up and do something different? Here’s what Gillett said: But they’re also especially skilled at bringing wildly inventive original stories to screen. With that in mind, it’s only natural to be greedy and hope Radio Silence makes Scream movies for years to come. I've said as much myself, and it's a quality of the movie that truly means the world to me. Not only does their new Scream movie have a 77% on the Tomatometer, an 83% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and an impressive opening weekend total at the box office, but the movie has also been praised as an especially loving Scream sequel that celebrates the franchise and its fanbase. We weren’t making another studio movie and we had to go prove ourselves again."Īnd without Ready or Not? Bettinelli-Olpin insisted they’d never have made Scream. ‘Director's jail’ is very real, no matter what anybody says. Our next movie after that was Southbound and it was this nice back-to-basics thing. And then to have it not be embraced with open arms, as you so kindly put it, I think it toughened us in a lot of ways. Just to have had that experience as a movie fan is just incredible. ![]() I remember literally having a conversation where we were like, ‘We're getting the opportunity to make a studio movie.’ Just take everything out of it. “We got this big break! I mean, we were gonna make a studio movie and that was the most exciting thing in the world. Thus far we’ve covered their leap from YouTube shorts to the smash hit Ready or Not and making a Scream movie, but the team did hit a pretty significant bump in the road in between, a bump they say put them in “directors jail.” That bump is Devil’s Due, a found footage horror movie that wasn’t received especially well when it hit theaters in January 2014. Let's just figure out a way to do it.’” He also added: They’re operating on a different level now, but Gillett stressed that that approach to solving problems hasn't changed “There's this level of naive ambition where it's like, ‘Oh, we have a cool idea. “We loved the creative debate that we always had amongst the three of us, and it was always challenging each other to find better or more creative solutions to any problems that came up.” Before they were Radio Silence, they were making content as Chad, Matt & Rob, a team of filmmakers making shorts and publishing them on YouTube. Villella began by pinpointing the quality of their collaboration that signaled they were a team that could go this distance. I had the pleasure of chatting with Villella, Gillett, and Bettinelli-Olpin, and, yes, we did get into a ton of Scream 2022 spoilers, but the first 15 minutes of the conversation were dedicated to putting the spotlight on Radio Silence - how the group came together, how it got its name and how the trio has evolved and thrived along the way.
